VIP Ski Resort Transfers

The VIP Mountain Experience

Why premium travelers choose private luxury transfers

You've booked the ski-in/ski-out lodge at Vail. You're flying first class. Why squeeze onto a shuttle with strangers and ski bags for the last leg of your journey?

VIP ski transfers offer a seamless airport-to-resort experience: a professional driver meets you at baggage claim, handles your skis and luggage, and delivers you directly to your hotel or condo—in a luxury vehicle with refreshments, entertainment, and space to relax.

Frequently Asked Questions

VIP ski transfers

Can VIP transfers handle all our ski gear?

Yes. Luxury SUVs accommodate 4-6 passengers with skis and bags. For larger groups or more equipment, Sprinter vans handle 8-12 passengers with extensive gear storage.

What if our flight is delayed?

VIP services track your flight in real-time. Most include complimentary wait time (typically 30-60 minutes) for delays. Your driver adjusts pickup accordingly—no missed connections.

Can we make stops along the way?

Yes, that's part of the VIP difference. Stop for groceries in Silverthorne, grab lunch in Frisco, or pick up gear. Discuss any planned stops when booking.

Is VIP worth it for just 2 people?

Financially, probably not—you're paying for the whole vehicle. But if time, comfort, and the experience matter more than cost, many couples find it worthwhile. It's also necessary for late-night arrivals when shuttles don't run.

Do VIP vehicles have AWD for mountain roads?

Yes. Reputable services use AWD/4WD vehicles with proper tires for mountain driving. Drivers are experienced with I-70 winter conditions. This is part of what you're paying for.
