        CathyIs that in Colorado? I’d love to. I’ve been waiting for so long.  Can we invite our family with us? In Colorado? Yes, I'm looking forward to it. Can we invite our family

        EdwardYes, we can. We just need to pay a little extra. We can find some friends and family who would enjoy playing in the snow

        CathyDo we have to ski? I'm afraid I don't know how to ski

        EdwardNo, you don’t need to ski to enjoy Aspen. The lodge has restaurants, safe hiking trails, and stores! You and your family will not be bored.
