ASPEN - June 1, 2009 - Powder-perfect skiing may be what lures travelers to Aspen in the winter, but pocket-perfect deals, activities and festivities is what makes summer the best time to hit the slopes. Nestled at the foot of Aspen Mountain, The Gant Condominiums offers a peaceful enclave within steps of Aspen's majestic mountains, artistic culture, robust history and outdoor playground. Augmenting Aspen's natural allure, several new and renovated restaurants and boutiques will be opening their doors this summer giving travelers one more reason to think ski resorts in the summer. Whether it's a weekend getaway or a week-long vacation, guests can take advantage of The Gant's ‘something for everyone' summer deals, which offer a medley of savings, perks and incentives to explore Aspen and neighboring ski resorts.  

Aspen's picturesque landscape not only entices travelers but businesses as well. Fourteen new and renovated dining and nightlife venues will satisfy your hunger and quench your thirst, while seven new boutiques and art galleries will delight with precious trinkets and treasures. For those who prefer being chauffeured versus being a chauffer, Gray Line, a new luxury transportation service from Denver International Airport and Eagle County Airport, will now provide non-stop motor coach service to Aspen. Beyond the new in-town additions, Aspen's epic powder days in winter turn to amazing rafting in spring and summer, downhill skiing becomes life-defining 14er climbs and snowshoe trails pave the way for endless biking and hiking. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. World renowned festivals, concerts and events entertain, while museums and galleries hint at this town's celebrated past. Aspen is truly a small town with a big reputation.
