Interesting pilot discussion relative to landing a jet on 33 instead of coming up the valley or following the Roaring Fork River to land on 15. My daughter has lived down valley for 25 years and has worked in Aspen for this time period. She says it is rare that a jet circles to land on 33, there is little room to safely do it given the nearby terrain, no matter what the charts might look like. Smaller turbo-props and pistons do it more frequently. So if you have done it in a jet, you are one of the rare ones who have. Aspen proper folks are really not keen on the jet noise approaching 33, either. West Coast has the prevailing winds during the day correct. In the summer time in the afternoon or early evening, be prepared for thunderstorms that generate nearly everyday when the monsoon season reigns, moisture from the Southwest.
Mrs TD and I have taken to flying into Eagle, more reliable to get in and out.
