Denver to Breckenridge Shuttle
The Colorado Ski Areas
You come to Colorado to visit the mountains, ski, bike, and be outdoors. One awesome fact about Colorado is that there are over twenty resorts from Crested Butte to Aspen to Beaver Creek to Keystone Colorado, it’s what makes Colorado – Colorado.
Why Go With Colorado
One of the main benefits to doing a vacation in Colorado is that you can spread out and visit multiple resorts in one trip. This way you can get a taste of more than just one flavor. With so many choices it can be tough to pick which resort you want. If you want to visit multiple ski areas in one trip, you want to start by picking an area rather than a resort.
Listed Below are various areas of ski resorts. Keep in mind since different companies own different resorts your lift tickets may not transfer from resort to resort
Common Transportation Routes
Summit County – Breckenridge, Keystone, and Copper Mountain
Eagle County – Vail, Beaver Creek
Pitkin County – Aspen, Snowmass, Buttermilk, Aspen Highlands
Gunnison County – Crested Butte
Routt County – Steamboat Springs
Picking an area helps limit travel and transfer times between resorts. If you pick resorts that are related than you can transfer your lift tickets. In Pitkin county, Aspen, Snowmass, Buttermilk, and Aspen Highlands are all related. Vail Resorts owns all the resorts in Summit and Eagle County except for Copper Mountain and Arapahoe basin. Crested Butte is quite isolated however can well worth the trip to avoid the crowds and ski some serious terrain. Steamboat is isolated as well, but is not too far from Summit and Eagle County (it’s about two hours by car).
Listed below are some common route times (times can vary with weather and traffic ).
Average Transportation Times
Summit to Eagle County – 40 to 60 minutes
Summit to Pitkin County – 3 hours
Summit to Routt County – 1 hour and 45 minutes
Eagle to Pitkin County – 2 hours and 30 minutes
Routt County to Eagle County – 2 hours
Again, these are just a couple of common routes, there are obviously many more. Without a rental car it can be tough to get between these areas since there is no shared shuttle or bus service. You must go with a private car or shuttle. Prices for these private shuttles varies depending on your needs and season, but considering the length of time they range anywhere from $100 all the way up to $400 + each way. The more miles and farther the distance, the higher the cost.
Keystone to Vail and Beaver Creek
If you are planning a trip to Summit or Eagle county you can hire a private shuttle or rent a car to get you from one county to the next. To get from Keystone to Vail or Beaver Creek to Keystone, you can hire a shuttle to take you and your group. The travel time between these two destinations is not severe unless weather comes into play.
Copper Mountain to Vail and Beaver Creek
As with getting from Keystone to Vail or from Breckenridge to Vail, getting to Beaver Creek is about the same distance. Since Copper Mountain is located right off of I-70 before Vail Pass, travel time will be shorter from here to Beaver Creek or Vail. With a rental car you simply hop on I-70 and take it until Avon. If you need to hire a shuttle they will pick you up at your chosen times and transfer your group to Eagle County (Vail – Beaver Creek).
