# Aspen ski-in / ski-out for couples

> How ski-in/ski-out actually works at Durant 6D, plus the best couples' ski day on Aspen Mountain, from first chair to fireside.

**Short answer:** Durant 6D's access trail is ten steps from the back door. It is advanced terrain and depends on snow cover. The Silver Queen Gondola and the Shadow Mountain Lift are each about a 5-minute walk. Skis live in a private locker by the front door.

## A perfect couples' ski day

- Breakfast with a view of the Aztec run from the dining table
- Walk 5 minutes to first chair on the gondola
- Lunch at the Sundeck at the summit
- Ski the trail home when snow allows. If not, ride the gondola down and walk 5 minutes
- Hot tub facing the mountain, then dinner in town within a 7-minute walk

## Honest notes

- The ski-home trail is advanced terrain.
- On low-snow days, download on the gondola instead.
- The condo is on the 3rd floor with no elevator.
