Planning your first ski trip to Keystone? You’re in for an unforgettable experience. Nestled in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, Keystone offers breathtaking slopes, scenic trails, and plenty of activities on and off the mountain. But to truly enjoy it, preparation starts long before you hit the snow.
One of the most important parts of your trip? Getting from Denver Airport to Keystone Mountain smoothly and stress-free. Here’s a guide to help you make the most of your first visit—before, during, and after the slopes.
Book Your Transportation Early
After a flight into Denver, you’re still about 90 miles from Keystone. That’s not a drive you want to manage after a long travel day—especially with mountain roads involved.
So what’s the best way to get there?
Private and shared transportation options are available, but first-timers often prefer a professional shuttle or private car for comfort and convenience. No need to navigate or worry about icy conditions. Premier Mountain Transportation offers door-to-door service, real-time flight tracking, and professional drivers who know the route and terrain.
Your trip starts to feel like a vacation the moment you step into the car.
Pack Smart for the Rockies
Colorado’s weather can shift quickly. Dress in layers and bring waterproof outerwear. Don’t forget essentials like sunscreen, lip balm, and a hydration pack. The altitude can sneak up on you—drink water and ease into physical activity.
Packing ski gear? If you’re not renting on-site, ask your transportation provider if the vehicle can accommodate large luggage like skis or snowboards. Premier Mountain Transportation offers roomy SUVs and vans perfect for ski trips.
Plan Your First Day Wisely
Try to arrive at Keystone the day before you plan to ski. That gives your body time to adjust to the altitude and gives you a full, fresh day on the slopes.
Use your arrival day to:
- Explore the resort
- Pick up rental gear
- Review trail maps
- Book lessons if needed
First time skiing or snowboarding? Keystone has excellent beginner slopes and instructors. A lesson on day one builds confidence and improves your experience on the mountain.
Make Time for Après-Ski
The fun doesn’t end when you step out of your bindings. Keystone offers cozy restaurants, fire pits, night skiing, and even scenic sleigh rides. Don’t overbook your schedule—leave room to relax and take in the mountain views.
Looking for a memorable evening? Book your ride back with a flexible pickup time so you can enjoy dinner or events without watching the clock.
