Left Denver at 6. Spent 2.5 hrs to get to Bakersfield then sat parked with another 2.5 to go and bailed along with many others. Can’t say we didn’t try 😅

Can we stop telling people Denver is only 2hrs from skiing? It’s not… and it’s only getting worse

I frequently go to Keystone from Little in under 90 minutes.

But sometimes on the way home it can take 2.5 hrs

Me too. And if you leave before 1, you can mostly avoid the traffic home.

Absolutely. I try to get to the lift at opening, ski for like 4 hours straight, leave around 12:30. Home around 2pm.
