Denver to Frisco

Anyone who's made this trek got an idea of the best way to do it? I'll be flying into the Denver airport. I could greyhound which is pretty cheap, but it's also like a $30 uber from the airport to the greyhound station and I would only get one checked bag free (will have both a ski and boot bag). Looks like I could also probably take the train there for closer to $10, but will have all my ski shit (probably ski bag, boot bag, and likely a small carry on backpack or something).

Looks like the only direct way to get from the airport to frisco is the summit express thing which starts at $65, so that's kind of a pain.

Any options that I missed? People that make this trek more often than me, how do you do it?

The best way to get from DIA to skiing is to fly into SLC.

A lot of people go back and forth regularly enough. Might be able to hitch a ride.

Cmt or whatever that transport is called is kind pricey but if you have somebody that works for vail book it its half price. I think it's 70 so itd be like 30 or 35. Idk the deal with that with covid. Ive never taken the bus or know anyone that has but that might be your best option.

It's not too far but it's far enough to be a pain in the ass honestly.

If you can't get a ride from someone, the best way is one of the shuttles. CME isn't too expensive, and they expect you to have ski gear.
