Colorado Mountain Express (CME), Colorado - February 16

Rating - 8.2

Got off the plane and walked to get our luggage and there was a clearly marked spot for CME. I went over to check in and the hotel had booked us for a round trip from Denver (we flew in to Eagle and out of Denver), the lady at the desk was incredibly friendly and switched the reservation and credited my credit card for the difference.

It took about 10 minutes to get a van, and we were the only passengers. It is a short ride to the resort, but the driver constantly spoke, and it was all about how slow it was, and how they depend on tips to make a living....a bit much for me. It was $98 for the two of us - Eagle to Hyatt.

Anyway we were dropped off right at the front door of the hotel.

On the way down to Denver - great Australian driver picked us up 4 hours before our flight....way too early...but it had snowed the night before and a bunch of flights were cancelled out of Eagle...so those people were re booked into our van. We were the first pickup, and sat in the second row of seats (there are three rows) and we went over to Vail to pick up some people who were re booked out of Denver. This trip was $174.00 for the two of us - Hyatt to Denver International.

The van became VERY full.....there were 10 passengers and the driver. We stopped 1/2 way down the mountain, and it was a needed break. The weather and traffic were pretty bad at the top of the mountain, but got better the further we got down.

We were the last drop off at AA, and I was happy to be out. The trip was not that bad, but really crowded. I would definitely fly out of Eagle next time, could have skied 1/2 a day.

Total - $272.00
