Colorado Skiing During the 2020–21 Pandemic: Archived Article
Historical archive: This article was written for the 2020–21 ski season. Its old mask, testing, lodging, lift, refund and travel information is not current advice. The former rate tables and service guarantees have been removed because prices and terms must be confirmed for the trip being booked.
Planning a current Colorado ski trip
Check each ski area’s own website for its current opening dates, lift and terrain status, lessons, tickets and cancellation terms. For example, Vail Mountain publishes lift and terrain status. Colorado’s official skiing and snowboarding guide can help you compare destinations, but resort operations and weather can change during a season.
Review airline, lodging and lift-ticket terms before paying; refund rules differ by provider and product. Check road conditions and allow extra travel time for mountain weather. For current health guidance, consult the relevant public-health authority and the rules of the places you visit rather than relying on a 2020–21 article.
Ground transportation
If you are considering a private ride from Denver International Airport, share your destination, travel date, flight, passenger count, luggage and any accessibility needs with the transportation provider. Request a current written quote and confirm vehicle availability, pickup arrangements and cancellation terms. You can start from the InterMountain Express website; an older article’s fare, vehicle feature or arrival-time promise should not be treated as part of a new booking.
