Pat Althouse has been the lead destination specialist for the Aspen Chamber Resort Association at the Aspen/Pitkin County Airport for 20 years as of 2026 and was honored with the Frontline Hospitality Tourism Worker Award at the 2026 Colorado Governor’s Tourism Conference in Breckenridge.
The airport, the third busiest in Colorado after Denver International and Colorado Springs, moved from four summer flights per day in its early days to about 20 flights per day today, which it calls a "light load," and handles close to 40 commercial flights per day in winter; an upcoming closure is scheduled from April to November 2027.
