Here is a short list of the best ski resorts closest to the Denver Airport.
1. Breckenridge Ski Resort

Whether you’re looking forward to a day off the slopes or searching for a little alternative adventure, Breckenridge has as much to offer off the mountain as it does on any of its 155 trails. As the largest historic district in Colorado, the town of Breckenridge features a wide variety of shops, activities, culture and attractions to entertain. Learn more about Breckenridge’s History or check out our list of 101 things to do in Breckenridge.
I’ve personally had friends that have stayed at Breckenridge and they loved it. This resort is only 104 miles away from the airport, so it’ll only take you about 2 hours to get there.
2. Winter Park Ski Resort

The mountain opened for the 1939–1940 season as Winter Park Ski Area and was owned and operated by the city and county of Denver until 2002, when Denver entered into a partnership with Intrawest ULC, a Canadian corporation headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, which has operated the resort since then. For nearly 70 years a popular way for Denver residents — many of whom have learned to ski or snowboard at Winter Park over the years — to get there was via the Ski Train, which arrived at the resort’s base area though the Moffatt Tunnel. (The Ski Train was terminated by the railroad in spring 2009). It is home to one of the world’s largest and oldest disabled skiing programs, the National Sports Center for the Disabled. courtesy of Wikipedia.
This resort is one of the largest in Colorado, and it’s also the closest to Denver International Airport. It’s only about 45 minutes away!
3. The Sol Vista Basin

The Sol Vista Basin is a new ski mountain, which is part of the Granby Ranch Resort. Not only does the property have skiing, but when weather permits, you can go fishing, golfing, and bike riding. This resort is only about 1.5 hours away from Denver International Airport, so getting there in your cheap rental car won’t be tough at all!

Does your company currently offer car rental services in the McAllen, Texas area? I am arriving on January 15th at the local airport, and I am looking for a budget-friendly car rental.
