Narrative:
Nearing ase; ATC mentioned the winds had changed to a tailwind which would exceed the landing tailwind limit. At first; the captain said no but then changed his mind and told ATC we would attempt the approach and would decide closer in. We were given a heading to intercept the localizer DME east approach into ase. The heading that was given caused us to overshoot the localizer and at the same time started to slow and configure at the same time ATC mentioned the winds had changed. As far as I can remember; it was 340 at 8 knots. By doype; we broke out into visual conditions and continued configuring and lagged on the descent. Since we were visual and configured the descent was increased causing terrain alerts and; one that I can remember; 'pull up' gwps while the speed brakes were being deployed. We were about 130 KTS fully configured and speed brakes but did not notice the descent rate. About 300 ft AGL; everything seemed to be stable and a smooth landing was made with no further event.looking back; it was a chain reason after we did not divert. Earlier configuration should had been completed but trying to comply with ATC heading and altitudes distracted us from fully configuring and descending earlier.

Title: Air taxi First Officer reported receiving a GPWS terrain alert on approach into ASE.
Narrative: Nearing ASE; ATC mentioned the winds had changed to a tailwind which would exceed the landing tailwind limit. At first; the Captain said no but then changed his mind and told ATC we would attempt the approach and would decide closer in. We were given a heading to intercept the LOC DME E approach into ASE. The heading that was given caused us to overshoot the LOC and at the same time started to slow and configure at the same time ATC mentioned the winds had changed. As far as I can remember; it was 340 at 8 knots. By DOYPE; we broke out into visual conditions and continued configuring and lagged on the descent. Since we were visual and configured the descent was increased causing terrain alerts and; one that I can remember; 'pull up' GWPS while the speed brakes were being deployed. We were about 130 KTS fully configured and speed brakes but did not notice the descent rate. About 300 FT AGL; everything seemed to be stable and a smooth landing was made with no further event.Looking back; it was a chain reason after we did not divert. Earlier configuration should had been completed but trying to comply with ATC heading and altitudes distracted us from fully configuring and descending earlier.
