Colorado ski season usually opens in November, with Breckenridge Ski Resort typically opening its lifts from mid-November into early December depending on snow. Always check the official resort website for this winter’s exact opening day, lift hours and conditions.
Getting From DIA to Breckenridge
Most visitors fly into Denver International Airport. The drive to Breckenridge is about 2 hours via I-70 and Highway 9 in good weather, but winter storms, Colorado’s traction and chain laws and Friday and Sunday ski traffic on I-70 can add hours. A private shuttle with an experienced mountain driver means nobody in your group has to drive a rental car in the snow.
- Door to door from the DIA curb to your lodge or condo
- Room for ski bags, boot bags and luggage
- Flight tracking for delays
- Grocery and ski rental stops on request
