What are the best ski resorts in Denver?

Flying in to Denver and getting a cheap rental car w/o 4wd but want to get to ski resorts, what do we do?

  • any additional advice on transporting snowboards on a plane or which resorts to go to in the area?

  • Answer:

    Like they said above, you shouldn't have any problem getting to the resort without 4-wheel drive. The roads are pretty well maintained. Considering that you're getting a "cheap" rental, I assume you're looking to save money. Have you considered staying in town rather than at the resorts and simply commuting day-to-day? I know the Embassy Suites Denver Airport (http://embassysuites1.hilton.com/en_US/es/hotel/DENIAES-Embassy-Suites-Denver-International-Airport-Colorado/index.do ) does a lot of business with skiers who either commute back and forth or at least spend the coming and going nights at the hotel, rather than at the more expansive resort. Just an idea.

There are shuttles from the airport to the main ski areas - if you click on this link and put in the area you want, it will give you numbers. You can ask them if they provide shuttles from other Denver areas (like hotels) too if you don't want to go straight from the airport. http://flydenver.com/gt/index.asp Also, my brother just put his snowboard in a box with packing and checked it in as luggage - there was an extra fee for the size. Call the airline and ask what they reccommend. They are very helpful about those things I have found

4WD is not mandatory to get to most major ski resorts outside of Denver. Keystone, Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Vail can all be reached via Interstate 70, which is well maintained. I live in Denver, ski often, but do not own a 4WD
