Without traffic you can make it to breck and key in an hour and ten minutes. during the winter it can get to two hours but well worth the drive rather than going to fucking echo... That place is a joke.

echo is practically like a midwest ski hill. pro-tip: get up early for the drive and you will be rewarded with a shorter drive time. wake up late on a sat snow day and be prepared to sit in traffic for 4+ hours

Yeah from Boulder its kind of a hike. If you have places to stay up in summit county on the weekends that helps a ton.

Echo is fun to mess around on but you would not be happy skiing only that everyday.
