Teterboro to Aspen is the iconic ski corridor for New York's private aviation market. The route is heavily trafficked from December through March, with peak pricing during Christmas and New Year's week. Aspen's airport (ASE) is famously challenging — its high elevation (7,820 ft) and mountainous terrain mean not all aircraft types are approved to land there. Midsize and super-midsize jets are the sweet spot: enough range and performance for the conditions without the landing restrictions that affect some heavy jets.
