Going skiing and wondering if that's a better option than the shuttles. I'm ok paying a little more if I don't have to sit through 14 stops at other peoples places bc I will inevitably be the last stop.

I went on Uber fare estimator and it told me 103-130 vs 118 using the shuttle for my wife and I. But I'm sure the fares will go up as we get into skiing season and the demand increases. If anybody's used them in late Jan./early Feb. I'd appreciate any info.

Problem with uber is them carrying all your luggage.

I prefer peak 1 shuttle over CME

We rented a car for less than that- though I guess it depends on how long you're staying.

Eta- just found a rate through Hertz for $20/day for midsized car.

We are going just after Christmas, and have been wondering what the best option is as well. How easy of a drive is it if you rent a car?

We usually always rent a car or have family pick us up, but last time they couldn't and car rates were high so we took a shuttle.

Ride to Vail was great, just me and my wife. I thought damn this is awesome. Was a nice big Mercedes van.

On the way back, it was a nightmare between weather, and having to stop 14 times and pick up people and being next to Big Lou who smelled like a pastrami sub and he was sweating because he had on 21 layers of clothes.

If you are comfortable driving in snow, I would highly suggest renting a car.

But also this:

Do Uber rates go up with traffic?

because Denver airport to Breck can turn into a 6 hr drive with a little snow and traffic


eta: I drink too much to rent a car

I once got a stretch limo by myself to make that same trip, but I was 15 and dumb with money, and on Christmas day no one else was open. I can't believe a Denver uber driver would make that drive; I'd just do the shuttle.

Where are you coming from?

I live in Cap Hill and drive up to A-Basin, Keystone, or Breck every Saturday.

I have room in the truck if you want a lift.

Few things in life suck more than 70 east on Sundays, especially in the winter.

Just use the shuttles they are at least consistent and know the area if nothing else.
