Breckenridge and Keystone Open Early

Home » Local Colorado News » Breckenridge and Keystone Open Early

November 10, 2018 by Kevin W

If you haven’t seen the news on social media or heard the word on the streets, I’ve got you covered.  Keystone and Breckenridge both opened early this season.  That is big news for Summit County.  This has been the first time in a LONG time that any of the Vail Resorts actually opened earlier then the expected date.  11/7/18 was the lucky date and boy was it a treat for all the people living up here!  I think it was the first opening day where I actually made it in time for spot in the main lot at keystone. . .even though I arrived after 10 am.  But it gets even better.  Free coffee and homemade granola bars awaited me as I waltzed onto the gondola without a care in the world.  Opening day?! That is seriously unheard of!!  I certainly enjoyed the change of pace 🙂

Thinking about what i’m going to blog about while enjoying Keystone’s opening day:)

The good news with the early opening is both mountains opened with more terrain then usual so even the busy weekends are filled with great skiing and manageable lift lines.  What does that mean for the winter?  Well, for one we are off to a great start compared to last year.  That makes for great conditions (November-April) for all of our guests coming for the early and late seasons.  If you were waiting to see how the winter was looking before booking your trip. . I think it’s safe to say its going to be a good one! BOOK IT

Make sure to check out all of Sky Runs accommodations if you need a place to stay while you are here.  They have amazing properties and just so happen to be one of our partners!

Scared of driving in the snow but still want to make it to the mountains for a get away?  Leave the driving to us.  Give us a call at 970-668-6000 and we’d be more than happy to help plan your trip. . and don’t be shy! Ask questions about the area.  We have a very knowledgeable staff with tons of local info and would love to point you in the right direction.

If you missed out on Breckenridge’s or Keystone’s opening day have no fear.  Beaver Creek, Vail, and Copper are all still set to open soon.  Go out and get yourself some early season turns and join us for some fun in the mountains.  ENJOY

We booked a trip to Colorado, and being Florida natives and not used to driving in the snow, we wanted to shuttle from Denver Airport to Copper Mountain Resort. A friend recommended Summit Express. The driver (Christopher) picked us up at the scheduled time, was extremely friendly and helpful. He talked with me the entire 2 hour ride to Copper Mountain and gave me lots of local information and tips that were very helpful during our stay.

The return trip was just as accommodating. I didn’t get our drivers name, but he was friendly and helpful with our baggage and airport transfer. Overall, we couldn’t have been more satisfied with the service. I strongly recommend using this express if you’re not familiar with the area and terrain.

The communication was top notch, which included a reminder text the day before, a phone call from the driver, and this follow up thank you email. In addition, any time I called the office everyone was very courteous & friendly. I’ll definitely be recommending your company to others & I will use it again as well. Thanks so much for the top rate service!

The exceptional personal service provided by everyone in your company from the online chat, phone calls with customer service agent, drivers and representative at the airport, arriving for pick up at the EXACT time, sending text message reminders… Your company excels at everything a customer wants and needs. The bottom line is that you provide a personal experience, in the future we will only use your company.

I want to thank you for your excellent services yesterday in particularly lousy weather. Your team called me on Saturday to alert me to impending weather concerns and the fact that I might have troubles making my flight home Sunday. The dispatcher put me on an earlier than planned shuttle and got me to the airport on time. The trip from FTC to DIA took four hours and your driver Dave did a nice job. I will use your service again and I will recommended it to others. The bottled water was appreciated as well.
