Arapahoe Basin has Started Snow Operations

Home » Local Colorado News » Arapahoe Basin has Started Snow Operations

September 22, 2018 by Kevin W

Two days ago, the moment most of us here in Summit County wait for finally happened. . . Arapahoe Basin has started snow operations!!  Yes.  It’s official.  The snow guns have been blowing over the last few nights when the temperature has dropped low enough.  It’s always hard to part ways with the warmer weather but once the snow starts blowing it’s hard not to think about the season ahead.

Photo from A Basin

Last season, Arapahoe Basin kicked off the season on October 13th and went through June 3rd for another amazing year, lasting 233 days.  Do you know what that means?  It means you need to start thinking about your winter trips and don’t forget the season here in Summit starts early.  With snow making already in process they may even be able to open even earlier than last year.  The aspens are already losing leaves.  Could this be the early season we’ve all been waiting for?  Give us a call at 970-668-6000 and book your winter adventure today.  Come enjoy our favorite time of the year with us!

Locals Tip:

We are currently running a few really great promotions.  Check the website, facebook, or Call one of our local agents and ask about some of our pre-season rates.

Buy our season pass early. . even if you only plan to spend 4 days skiing or snowboarding in the County you will pay off an A basin-Keystone pass priced at $369.  Day rates are currently 110$ at an online deal.  So plan ahead and save some money for all the other fun things to do here during the snow season.

Absolutely loved working with Summit Express! Could not have been better. We were shuttled from DIA to Breckenridge various times over two months, using 28 shuttles in total. Not once did Summit Express make a mistake, every transfer was perfect. Always on time!

We loved their friendly customer service. They were flexible when we had to change our schedule multiple times at the last minute, courteous to our needs, and they really cared about making us content with what we were buying. They are all about their customers and I could not think of a better company to use.

Our driver, Jeff, was friendly and accommodating. His contributions to our conversations made the ride fun. He tolerated 7 chatty women exceptionally well!

Using the private shuttle to get to the airport was perfect! It was so much easier than using rental cars! Summit Express will be our airport travel mode from now on!

From now on, these guys are my new shuttle service when travel around Colorado. We had a mishap with our luggage while on our way to Breckenridge.  When we realized it, United Airlines called me and explained to me that I had to go back to the airport. Scott, from Summit immediately asked me if he could speak to the rep.

Long story short, Scott tried to explain to the rep that they can go back to the airport and pick up our luggage…they’ve done it before for customers in the past.  Unfortunately, United couldn’t give us a straight answer, so my friend and I had to make the 2 hour drive back to Denver.

Either way, Summit and Scott were amazing. They gave us a great rate to go back to the airport and back to Breckenridge.

Go with Summit if you plan to make trips around Colorado. I highly recommend them.

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.

Frank is a great driver, very friendly and chatty and made the end of our trip a happy time rather than a sad ride to the airport and back to reality.

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.
