There are several shops where you can rent gear in Breckenridge, but Ski Butlers stands out for its door to door service.  They fit you where you’re staying, with the gear you want, so you know you’ll ride comfortably.

• Don’t wait in lines, they will come to your address
• Don’t struggle with sorting gear- let them do it.  Tell them what you’d like and they’ll bring a wide assortment, so you have plenty to choose from
• No need to return gear- they’ll pick it up for your address.
• Check out their website.

We know you want to maximize your time on the mountain; so we bring you door to door, as well. If you have to pick up your condo’s keys in advance we’ll stop there, then bring you to the condo afterward. Who wants to walk a mile through snow with luggage?

• Remember to tell your reservation agent you have to stop for keys to get into your condo.
• Let your driver know if you need to stop for a comfort break on the way up the mountain.
• Tip your driver! 20% is standard for great service

This is art and comedy for all ages; it’s an interactive show that will amaze and educate.  Buy tickets here, or call 970-453-7878.  The show includes:

• Food
• Facepainting

October saw record snowfalls in areas of Summit County, and November is keeping it cold!  Hit up the hills in Breckenridge this weekend!

We Run Year Round, with One Exception.

Our owners send us home to enjoy our family and friends, football and food on…

It’s just the one day, so feel free to call us for all your travel needs every other day of the year. We’re happy to get you the best rates and give you the skinny on what to do and where to go in Summit County.

We offer private charters for group travel, far off places, after hours transportation and special events. [Pssst! Only private charters are available on Thanksgiving Day.  Supplies limited 😉 ]

Our shared shuttles go Door to Door (whatever address you need in the county), and to the Bus Stations in Frisco and Breckenridge for a discounted rate.

Are you ready for some FOOTBALL?!!

Catch the game and a brewsky at these joints:

• Highside Brewing in Frisco because the tacos are really good
• Dillon Dam Brewery because the bison burgers are really good
• Ollie’s Pub & Grub in Breckenridge because the wings are really good
• Fatty’s Pizzeria in Breck- ironically, because the sandwiches are really good
• Eric’s Downstairs in Breck -because you’re saddled with kids and there’s an arcade

Of course, I always think food first, but there are beverages to consider.  The game starts at 6:15 pm, mountain time, but get there during happy hour and order a couple of your favorite drinks; (keeps the cost down so you can tip big), then, sip at your leisure.

Thank you for voting for Summit Express!

 

We’re so grateful to our guests! Thanks for taking the time to vote for us; you are the reason we work so hard to be the safest, most reliable, most economic transportation service from and to Denver International.

We would be remiss if we didn’t give a hearty thanks to our drivers, dispatchers, reservation agents, and all the other “behind the curtain” peeps that make this company run as smoothly as Rocky Mountain weather allows.   THANK YOU!

 

Pull up a chair at the $5 pancake breakfast every morning this week at Summit House, Keystone Resort- sponsored by your favorite Aunt Jemima!  Is there a better way to start the day than hot coffee, hotcakes and warm company?  Fortify for a day spent shredding at Keystone or A Basin.  Did you know there’s a shuttle that runs a loop from both mountains? Now you do! Take advantage of their close proximity and shred on both.

Don your best Halloween costumes for prizes on Saturday, October 26th, at 2 pm at Summit House.  Behold, the cutest Vulcan in the Universe- my neice!  Prizes will be awarded for best individual costume (obviously my neice 😉 and for best group costume.  Join in the fun!

Be safe, live long and prosper.

 

The Woodward Mountain Park ; what exactly is it?

• A Progression based approach. This set up is ideal for teaching, practicing and growing into a confident rider.
• From zones for beginners who just want to stand up and feel it out, to vast areas for seasoned vets who just wanna shred.
• Equipment that is geared for each skill level.  Example: the Start Park is for the newest skiers and boarders; designed to reduce speed and hone balance. The SuperPipe is for those who are performing at the highest levels.
• Whatever your skill there’s a venue for you.  Once you’ve mastered it move onto the next and keep aiming higher!

Have fun and be excellent to each other!

China Szechuan in Frisco- Quality meat sets them apart from their competitors. For my taste Chinese food doesn’t get SPICY, so I order extra spicy because it kicks up the flavor a few notches. I suggest the tangerine chicken with crab cream cheese rangoons and pot stickers.

Giam Pietro’s in Breckenridge- A standout flavor item: the oil with tomatoes they serve with the bread- it’s phenomenal!  The arancini (fried risotto and mozzarella balls) is a savory treat.  Try it with a white wine, or a cider.  If you have a big appetite then order a calzone.  The crust is crispy and light and you can choose your stuffing.  Of course, you can’t go wrong with their pizza.

Dillon Dam Brewery– When you want a really good burger order a bison burger medium rare. if you’re a mustard connoisseur try the Flying Dutchman; smoked Gouda cheese, apple slaw and a side of beer mustard.  The Rodeo (BBQ sauce, smoked bacon, cheddar cheese and braised onions) is one of my classic favorites.

Bon- Apetite!
