Conference 2008: Hotel/Transportation
Hotels and Lodging
We have a large block of rooms (40) reserved at the Silvertree Hotel in Snowmass Village. To reserve rooms, ask for the CORPS de Ballet International block.
The Silvertree Hotel is a full service resort hotel located at the top of Snowmass Village. Due to their relationship with Aspen Santa Fe Ballet, the hotel has offered CORPS Membership and Conference Attendees a remarkable rate of $120.00 per night for single/double occupancy. The rooms are good sized and well appointed. The list of amenities is vast, including spa services, shopping, outdoor pool and Jacuzzi. As the Silvertree is at the top of Snowmass Village, the views are spectacular.
Transportation
Aspen and Snowmass Village are located approximately 200 miles due west of Denver. Should you choose to fly into Denver and drive, the trip takes approximately 4 hours. Lodging and certain conference events will take place at the Silvertree Hotel in Snowmass, while other events and presentations will take place in Aspen at Colorado Mountain College or the Aspen High School Theatre. Conference Attendees will need to use public or hotel transportation for these events. Rates and options are still under negotiation.
Airfare
As mentioned above, Denver is the nearest major airline hub with Salt Lake City being the second closest. Flights into these major hubs will be significantly cheaper than a direct flight into Aspen, however the airfare savings must be weighed against the transportation and time involved in getting to Aspen, be it bus or the cost of a rental car.
Flights arrive regularly into Aspen, with a growing number of non-stop flights. The Silvertree offers complimentary van service to/from the airport.
For more travel options, contact the Silvertree’s website.
Car Rental
For those of you looking at renting a car for the conference, the drive from Denver takes between 3.5 and 4 hours. For attendees on the west coast, the drive from Salt Lake City is just over 400 miles and takes approximately 6.5 hours.
