Denver Flights
Denver has the largest airport in Colorado and this is a hub for most skiers who vacation here. The Denver airport is located less than a 2 hour drive from close to 10 major ski resorts.
There are several shuttle services that run between the Denver airport and the closest ski resorts. Just be sure to make your reservations for your shuttle before you show up at the airport if possible.

Flying Your Skis into Denver
The Denver International Airport has a separate luggage carousel for ski bags. It's located right next to the main luggage area and it's designed to hold ski and snowboard bags. This airport handles thousands of ski bags each day in the winter months and this is the most efficient way to handle this much ski luggage.
Leaving the Denver Airport
The map that is located above will give you some basic directions to get out of Denver. It takes a few minutes to drive through Denver, but the foothills to the Rocky Mountains are right on the other side of the city and the ski resorts are just beyond.
I-70 heads west out of Denver and begins to ascend into the mountains just outside of the city. You will travel passed the Red Rocks Amphitheater and the Eisenhower Tunnel and then you will enter into the mountains of Summit County. This includes resorts like the Keystone Ski Resort and Breckenridge
After you fly into Denver, Summit County can be as little as a 45 minute drive away from the Denver airport. Vail and other great resorts are just a little bit farther
