Grand Junction: A Top Winter 2008 Jet-Setting Destination

April 11, 2008
Flight Options, a world-renowned private jet company, known for hosting the nation's elite business and leisure travelers, recently released it's ranking for the top private jet destinations for 2008.  For the first time in its rankings, Grand Junction landed on the list as the ninth most popular destination in North America for winter of 2008.
 
Noted as a destination for "skiers [that] arrive by private jet [who can] hit the slopes at nearby Powderhorn, tucked just beneath the rim of the Grand Mesa, or use Grand Junction as a base to experience Colorado resorts as far afield as Vail."  Grand Junction is home to the Grand Junction Regional Airport and private jet service company, West Star Aviation, Inc.
 
Other skiing destinations included #2 Salt Lake City, UT and #8 Aspen, CO. 
 
The top ranked winter destination is West Palm Beach, FL.  Las Vegas, NV is ranked 3rd, followed by Florida beach destinations of Naples, Boca Raton, Sarasota, and Jacksonville, FL.  Cabo San Lucas, Mexico rounds out the Top 10.
