I know it's Aspen, but it ain't really a bargain at that price.

I don't see how this isn't a bargain. The lowest rate is $789 + tax ($875) per night for the weekend I'm going skiing in February (nights of 27th and 28th).

16000 points + $300 for two nights is unheard of. I am seriously thinking of changing my plans from Keystone to Aspen.

Thanks OP, but too bad it's all nonchangeable...
