Looking to rent some gear for your vacation getaway?  Ski Butlers is the way to go!

Our Brand Refresh | Ski Butlers

Ski Butlers is a fantastic ski and snowboard rental company that brings you your gear wherever you’re located on your vacation! Not sure if you want to ski or snowboard? Not a big deal! They’ll come to you at the mountain you’re falling down at and switch out your gear for you. Don’t like Skiing? Try snowboarding! Not really getting into snowboarding either? Grab a hot cocoa and watch everyone else break a leg!

Delivery fees? Nope! Everything including skis, boots, poles, and their full delivery, support, and pickup services is included in your rental; apart from ~ helmets, goggles, high-performance boots, and damage coverage.

Are you part of the Military? They offer a 20% discount for active duty, reserve, or retired members of the U.S. Armed Forces! That’s a pretty sweet offer! Just sit back, relax, and enjoy your vacation while Ski Butlers does all the work by picking out your gear and delivering it right to your front door.

With a 4.9 overall rating – there’s no excuse not to choose Ski Butlers for your rentals! With so many reviews stating they would recommend Ski Butlers, here’s one more – from us!

Now that you have your gear, let’s offer some transportation up the mountain!

With our all-wheel drive, snow tire shuttles, beyond the universe with exquisite customer service, and professionally trained drivers – there’s no possible reason to choose any other shuttle company! Want to know something else about us that’s awesome? We’ve been voted #1 for the BEST SHUTTLE IN SUMMIT COUNTY for the last 5 years! Whoa! Crazy right?

All Wheel Drive Ford Transit Vans

Worried about transportation to the mountains from Denver International Airport? Let us help ease some tension!

Trying to decide on whether you want to book a reservation to have someone experienced driving you in Colorado’s notoriously bad weather verses renting a car and taking the chance yourself?

Let’s see if I can convince you to ride with us this season!

Be safe! Not sorry!

Unlike a rental car, all of our vans are equipped with All Wheel Drive and snow tires for safety and security on the winter roads here in Colorado as well as complimentary water bottles for all our guests on board.

So instead of raising the family tension in a rental car – ride with us! You’ll be able to relax, look out the windows for wild life, drink your water in peace and maybe even catch some vehicles driving on the Georgetown Lake – yup, driving! – while all feeling calm and content knowing our vans are safe on the road! You see, each and every one of our drivers is trained to deal with the very unpredictable conditions that you may encounter on I-70. They also have those cool looking (and very effective) chains on board, just in case we would need to chain up for any reason – another thing a rental car doesn’t automatically have.

Of course February and March are our snowiest months, so the skiing is great and justifies the adventurous driving! 8 more weeks of shuttle runs and winter fun until summer weather starts slowly moving in.

Do you know what that means?? BOOK NOW! Get some of that snow before it’s all gone!

With more weather moving in starting mid-week, join Summit Express and play it safe with no regrets!

I’m feeling sneaky, sneaky!

February 6, 2023 by Starr Knouse

Shhh! Want to be apart of my sneaky business? Shhh!

I was feeling sneaky and spontaneous and I’ve created a discount code to save 5% on your way up and/or down the mountain! Yay!! Now, before you complain that it’s only “5%” – that could be an extra $5.95 right back in your pocket! Still “pocket change” for you? Add it to your Driver Gratuity for their excellent service while at the same time making someone’s day!

Shh emoji

Let’s explain how it works and how long it’s going for!

You can either click HERE or go directly to our website HERE. Take note – to add the code on the website, you’ll need to type in the discount code into the space where it says “Code” at the bottom of “Book Online” located on the home page!

You’re now probably thinking “That’s all fine and dandy…but when and how long can I use this code for??” Calm down! I’m getting there! The Code is good to use from 02/07/2023 through 03/30/2023 for the travel days of Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday! Now you’re getting excited because I’ve also included that Spring Break time frame! What can I say? You’re welcome!

shh

Have I left anything out? Oh yea! The Code name! It’ll be under the Code – you’ve guessed it!

Home » Local Colorado News

January 30, 2023 by Starr Knouse

Did you end up missing the chance to vote on the Snow Sculpture Championships this year? No worries! Lets fill you in with what happen!

First Place Second place 1 Third place

  • First Place – GOLD –  Team Germany Bavaria
  • Second Place – SILVER – Team Colorado, Breckenridge, USA
  • Third Place – BRONZE – Team Lithuania

I can’t believe all the talent that showed up and participated in this extremely fascinating event this last weekend! I was blown away – literally –  from the team COLORADO, BRECKENRIDGE, USA’s snow sculpture this year! Top three! I’m so stunned! The amazing detail is out of this world. Congratulations to team GERMANY, BAVARIA! For winning GOLD! I believe their piece was working around gravity. Last but not least, team LITHUANIA! For coming in third! Looks like something that has to do with water falls. Very unique and well carved!

Peoples Choice!!

Peoples choice

I told you your vote would count! I’m so proud of all that voted for this amazing snow sculpture of this hand carved “Tree Giant” playing the guitar for all the wood animals and plants to enjoy! The detail in every part of this snow art work is astonishing.

If you still haven’t yet been up to Breckenridge, CO to see these in person, you’re in luck! They will be up to view until February 1st @ 7:00PM. I wonder what next year will bring us to view?

Finished your weekend with a bang and looking to get back down to Denver Airport to travel home? Book with us! Summit Express not only has been nominated the #1 shuttle for the last 5 years straight – but we also strive to have the best costumer service everyone wants and deserves!

International Snow Sculpture Championships

Home » Local Colorado News

January 28, 2023 by Starr Knouse

Have you ever heard of the International Snow Sculpture Championships before? No? Honestly, me either until last season! Here’s some amazing information I’ve come across for everyone to enjoy such an awesome event!

Snow Sculpture Viewing Week: January 27th – February 1st, 2023

Presented by Toyota – Located in the parking lot of Riverwalk Center – Breckenridge CO

Come see the amazing Snow Sculptures in Breckenridge, CO! These 25-ton, hand carved, once in a life time sculptures will only be up to view for a few more days! The artists are only to use hand tools, their brains and personal ideas to bring us these outstanding pieces of art. Everyone participating come from all over the globe! Working roughly 18 hours a day – only 5 days to work – it only makes sense to see all their hard work and progress. Oh, what? Reservations are a must for Saturday, January 28th! Times to schedule are 10:00am, 12:00pm or 2:00pm. Since Saturday is a weekend day, probably one of the busiest days for the sculptures, that actually makes sense! Sunday, January 29th – Wednesday, February 1st, reservations are non existent so go look whenever on those days! The area for the Snow Sculpture viewing will be closed on February 1st @ 7:00PM.

2023 Teams

There’s 12 International Snow Sculpture Teams this year:

  • Germany
  • Denmark
  • Bavaria
  • Great Britain
  • Vermont
  • Castillo
  • Italy
  • Lithuania
  • Switzerland
  • Breckenridge
  • Snowblind
  • Tomczak

Your vote counts!

Not in Breckenridge but still want to vote? No sweat! Everyone is welcome to vote for their favorite International Snow Sculpting Championships no matter where you’re at! Voting starts – January 25th @ noon – January 28th @ 2:00pm.  VOTE HERE!

Did you drive instead of walk?

Shame! You should be getting that nice ice cold crisp air in your lungs! In any case, here’s a few ideas on where to park and what to ride. Airport Road Skier Parking Lot – From there, you can take either take the “RED ROUTE” from Satellite Parking Lot on Airport Road down to Breckenridge Station (8:00am – 6:00pm – run time : 20 minutes) or The Breck Free Ride (“GREY ROUTE” – stop 56) to Breckenridge Station (6:15am – 11:15pm run time : 15 minutes)

Download the Breck Free Ride App HERE

Did you know? You can also find the closest bus to you as well as track it in real time! Whoa! Oh! Breck Free Ride is also dog friendly! How sweet is that?! Pets are also welcome at the International Snow Sculpture Championships! Be Aware – There will be cannons, light shows, huge crowds and it’ll be super cold for their little toes! All dogs will also need to be on a leash and away from the snow sculptures at all times!

Winter Storm Warning March 12th-15th

Home » Local Colorado News

March 11, 2021 by Summit Express

We are expecting a significant winter storm in Colorado this weekend.

  • Winter Storm Xylia
  • Colorado Winter Storm Watch

At Summit Express, our number one goal is the safe, on-time transportation of our guests to and from the Denver Airport. 

Plan for difficult to impossible travel this weekend. Road closures, avalanche mitigation, flight delays, and cancellations are some of the things that we cannot control when we receive the amount of snow that is expected in the next 72hrs.

The ski resorts and mountain communities handle the snow just fine. However our route runs from DIA through the Denver Metro area and the foothills, which is where the difficult travel conditions will exist. We expect to be navigating through 2 to 3 feet of snow starting late Friday night through Sunday. We will have significant issues and delays this weekend especially on Saturday March 13th.  

We are asking our guests to plan ahead, contact airlines, and expect difficult travel through the weekend. If roads are open and passable, we will run our vehicles to and from the airport, but please be aware that the conditions can and will change quickly. 

Best Regards,
Bob Roppel
President/CEO Summit Express

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.

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.

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.
