 Poster: A snowHead
|
Thinking of going to Copper Mountain this January for 10 days,but also want to ski the other Summit County resorts & maybe Vail too.
Has anyone had any experience of using the local buses to get around ?
Don't really want to hire a car for 10 days.
Also anyone stayed at Copper?
Any good for apres ski ?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Hire a car if you want to go to Vail. Last I recall, shuttle WITHIN commit county is free and frequent, but not to Vail.
When you factor in the cost of shuttle from Denver to Copper and back. Then add in the cost of transport from Copper to Vail. You're already pretty close to breaking even. You would have the freedom of coming and going at your own time instead of the shuttle timetable.
Staying within Summit, you should be ok without a hired car.

No direct experience with Copper. I'd suggest posting your question on www.epicski.com and folks who are locals will likely respond. Last year we were looking at Breckenridge and I contacted them to ask about transportation to Vail/Beaver Creek. Breck is a Vail resort. They said that in the past there was a van that ran once or twice a week. If you want to hit Vail I think you'll need a car.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

When we were in Winter Park last year there was no local transport anywhere. Our passes covered Copper but we couldn't get there without hiring a car.

I stayed in a town called Frisco which is way cheaper than the summit county resorts and stagecoach gets you tto Copper and back with a frequent & free service.You can leave your skis (free) and boots ( $2 locker) safely at the middle 'Village' ski store.
Fly BA from London direct to Denver and use the Coppermountain express shuttle service(prebook it) to Frisco.Check out the link.You can organise your own holiday as i did in March.
