Summit Express is the local answer to the Denver airport question. Founded in 2010 by Bob Roppel, a 15-year airline industry veteran, the family-owned company is based right in Summit County — headquartered in Silverthorne and listed in the Summit Chamber's Local Connections directory — rather than running mountain routes from a distant call center.

Scheduled shared shuttles connect Denver International Airport with Breckenridge, Keystone, Copper Mountain, Frisco, Silverthorne and Dillon, with private charters for those who want their own vehicle. In Breckenridge, shuttles serve the Breckenridge Station transit center at 150 Watson Avenue along with lodging drop-offs, putting you steps from the gondola and the town's free bus system.

The company also handles wedding, event and group transportation plus custom day trips throughout the Colorado mountains. Reservations are required — book online or call (970) 668-6000, and expect expanded schedules during ski season.
