Secure executive transportation in Aspen and Snowmass
P1's own team drives executives, families, and their guests in Aspen and Snowmass: security professionals in unmarked, equipped luxury SUVs, with pickups linked to the flight at Aspen and Eagle County and a 24/7 operations center behind every trip.
A security professional at the wheel
Drivers from law enforcement, the military, or executive protection, trained in protective driving and emergency medical response.
An equipped, unmarked vehicle
A late-model luxury SUV with a trauma kit, an AED, secure Wi-Fi, and a Principal Kit, and nothing on the outside that draws attention.
Live tracking for your team
Assistants, pilots, and family you authorize follow the vehicle in real time, with an update at each milestone.
A 24/7 operations center
Every trip is monitored from the advance brief to the final drop-off, and any change is handled immediately.
How P1 runs trips in Aspen
Aspen is P1's home market. The team behind P1 has moved principals between the airport, residences on Red Mountain and in Starwood, restaurants, and events in the valley for years, and every driver here is based in the Roaring Fork Valley and knows its roads, entrances, and timing.
Most stays start at the aircraft. Arrivals at Aspen/Pitkin County are tracked from departure, the driver is staged before the aircraft lands, and when weather sends a flight to Eagle County or Rifle, the pickup moves with it. From there, members usually keep the driver by the hour: the vehicle waits outside the house on Red Mountain, at the base of Aspen Mountain, at lunch in town, and at dinner in the West End, ready when the principal is.
Aspen/Pitkin County Airport is scheduled to close from April to November 2027 while its runway is rebuilt. During the closure, private flights will land at Eagle County, Rifle, Grand Junction, or Denver, and the drive into the valley becomes part of every arrival. P1 plans those transfers as intercity trips, with the route and the road and weather conditions for the day in the Movement Brief.

A driver and vehicle for the whole day in Aspen
Most members book P1 by the hour rather than by the ride. From the first pickup to the last drop-off, the same driver and vehicle stay with the principal through meetings, errands, lunches, and dinners.
- Booked by the hourReserve the driver and vehicle for the day, or for the hours you need. The vehicle stays with the principal instead of dropping off and leaving.
- Staged at every stopWhile the principal is in a meeting, a shop, or at dinner, the driver waits nearby at the right entrance, ready to leave when the principal is.
- Plans that changeAdd a stop, change the destination, or keep the vehicle longer from the app. Each change is priced and approved on the spot, and operations updates the driver.

Every pickup is linked to the flight, so an early, late, or diverted arrival re-times it automatically, and the driver is staged before the aircraft lands.
When Aspen gets busy, and what we plan around
- Late November to mid-April
Ski season. Aspen Mountain and Snowmass open around Thanksgiving, and the valley is busiest from Christmas to New Year's, over Presidents' Day weekend, and through March spring break.
- Late January
The Winter X Games at Buttermilk bring crowds and heavier traffic to Highway 82 between Aspen and Snowmass.
- June
The Food & Wine Classic fills downtown Aspen for a long weekend of tastings, dinners, and private events.
- Late June to early July
Aspen Ideas: Health and the Aspen Ideas Festival bring speakers and guests to the Aspen Meadows campus and the West End.
- April to November 2027
The airport is scheduled to close for its runway rebuild, so arrivals move to Eagle County, Rifle, Grand Junction, or Denver, with the drive into the valley planned as part of each trip.
Independence Pass closes for the winter
Highway 82 over Independence Pass closes from early November until about Memorial Day, so the only winter road from Denver runs over I-70 and through Glenwood Springs. The Movement Brief gives the route and the expected time for the day.
I-70 traction and chain laws
From September through May, Colorado's traction law applies on I-70 between Dotsero and Morrison, and the chain law is activated in storms. Drives from Denver are planned around the law in force and the ski-weekend traffic at the Eisenhower Tunnel and Vail Pass.
Weather diversions
Low clouds and storms close Aspen to arrivals often enough that every pickup has a fallback. When a flight diverts to Eagle County or Rifle, the driver goes there instead, and your team is told the new meeting point and time.
Holiday traffic into town
Between Christmas and New Year's, traffic on Highway 82 backs up at the roundabout and the S-curves at the entrance to Aspen, so trips to dinners and events are timed around it.
What the Movement Brief covers in Aspen
The people you designate receive a one-page brief before each trip, naming the driver and their credentials, the vehicle and its verified equipment, and the operations contact, with the local details below.
- The arrival airport, the FBO, and the meeting point at the aircraft, with the fallback if weather sends the flight to Eagle County or Rifle
- The route and drive time for the day, including Highway 82 traffic and, from Denver, the conditions on I-70 and the traction or chain law in force
- Where the vehicle is staged at the residence, restaurant, or venue, and the entrance the driver will use
- The driver and their credentials, the vehicle and its verified equipment, and the operations contact for the trip
Between a car service and a full protection detail
Most trips do not call for a protection detail, but they deserve more than a chauffeur. P1 adds protective capability to everyday travel in Aspen without the footprint, minimums, or cost of a full detail.

Yes. P1 meets private flights at Aspen/Pitkin County (ASE) and Eagle County Regional (EGE), and at Rifle when weather or aircraft size sends a flight there. The pickup is linked to the flight, and the driver is staged before the aircraft lands, at the aircraft where the FBO allows it.
The pickup follows the aircraft. If the flight diverts to Eagle County, Rifle, or Grand Junction, operations moves the driver to the new airport and updates your team with the new meeting point and arrival time, and the drive into Aspen is planned from there.
With the airport scheduled to close from April to November 2027, private flights will land at Eagle County, Rifle, Grand Junction, or Denver. P1 meets the aircraft there and drives the passengers into the valley as an intercity trip, with the route, the expected time, and the conditions in the Movement Brief.
The driver. A car service hires chauffeurs for hospitality and punctuality; every P1 driver is a security professional, typically from law enforcement, the military, or executive protection, trained in protective driving and emergency medical response, in a vehicle that carries a trauma kit and an AED.
Drivers are armed where lawful and appropriately licensed. Armed capability is a final contingency; judgment, protective driving, and awareness come first.
Yes. Drives between Aspen, Vail, Denver, and the other mountain towns are booked as intercity trips, with the driver staying with the principal or returning afterward. In winter, when Independence Pass is closed, the route runs through Glenwood Springs, and the Movement Brief covers the conditions on I-70.
Yes, and most members do. P1 is booked by the hour, so the driver and vehicle stay with the principal from the first pickup to the last drop-off, staged at each stop. Stops can be added or the vehicle kept longer from the app, with each change priced and approved on the spot.
Yes. The weeks around Christmas and New Year's, Presidents' Day, and spring break are the busiest of the year in Aspen, so sending the itinerary as early as possible lets operations plan the drivers, vehicles, and staging for every day of the stay.
Yes. The people you authorize follow the vehicle in real time and are updated at each milestone. Pilots receive a crew link that shows where the vehicle is staged and when the passengers are on their way back to the aircraft, without destinations or family details.
Vehicles carry no branding or markings, drivers wear business attire rather than a chauffeur's suit, there are no name boards at the FBO, and every driver signs a nondisclosure agreement before the first trip. A tracking link shows the principal's name only if you allow it.
P1 is offered through membership rather than by the ride. P1 Membership begins with a minimum $25,000 prepaid annual service commitment, and the full amount is available toward eligible P1 services in Aspen and every other market. The rate schedule is shared after a membership request.
