Tim Cottrell

Tim came to Aspen in 1971 from the University of Vermont to study photography at the Center of the Eye in the Hotel Jerome...well he never left. He then had a 23-year career in the restaurant business, owning the Sub Shoppe, Firehouse Tavern, Pour La France and the Smuggler Land Office.

Tim served 25 years as a leader with the Aspen Volunteer Fire Department, and since 1974 he has produced the fireworks shows for Aspen and the Valley. He was the founding and 11-year chairman for the Aspen Bartenders' Charity Ball, which recently raised over $500,000 for many local charities. Volunteering for the Aspen Youth Center Board, The Colorado Restaurant Association Board, and coaching for 15 years with Aspen Junior Hockey, as an ‘ol time hockey player, have been his passions. You may have met him as an Ambassador on Aspen Mountain in the winter.

In September 2002, Tim and Barbie were married and joined their families of Page, David, Nicholas and Jordan. They live in Old Snowmass where they enjoy the country life with their fabulous kids.

Do yourself a favor, join Tim in his love and knowledge of the community and his commitment to service and let him help you select the best places to live in the Valley. You'll be glad you did.
