Denver & Eagle Airport Shuttle Returns to Roaring Fork Valley

New Operator Offers Comprehensive Transportation Services 

Aspen, Colorado (July 18, 2022) – After a 9-month hiatus, scheduled ground transportation services are returning to Aspen Snowmass and the Roaring Fork Valley. Roaring Fork Express will launch commercial operations on July 22, offering daily shuttles to Denver International Airport and Eagle County Airport, along with wedding and event transportation.

“We are thrilled to fill this need for Aspen Snowmass and the Roaring Fork Valley,” said Roaring Fork Express owner and CEO Landon Ogilvie. “The welcome and collaboration with partners and friends in the destination has been invaluable in facilitating our entry, and we look forward to serving locals and guests alike with their area transportation needs.”

“When looking for a new transportation partner, our priorities were to find a company with an excellent service reputation, and eagerness to partner with our community and a one best suited to serve our locals and visitors alike.  Once we learned of the goals and vision of the Roaring Fork Express team, it was obvious they were the right partner with whom to align,” said Kristi Kavanagh, vice president of Global Sales for Aspen Skiing Company.

“The need for this service became readily apparent during last winter’s snowy Christmas holidays,” said Bill Tomcich, airline consultant to Fly Aspen Snowmass.  “Replacing scheduled ground transportation into Aspen Snowmass became a very high priority, and we are excited to welcome Roaring Fork Express as an organization that is both qualified and experienced in providing these vital services.”

“We look forward to getting rolling, and working with partners and businesses in the area to serve their current needs and discover what additional services may be in demand,” said RFE General Manager Lucas Ropke. “Our experience and operations in other mountain destinations will allow us to hit the ground running.”
