It goes both ways. I used to live in Denver, and it was faster for me to ski in Alta (after flying to SLC) than it was for me to drive to I-70 ski resorts on a weekend.

How quick is the flight and ski in Alta? I don't remember that being the case at all when I lived in Denver especially if you went to a place like Loveland, A-Basin, Breckenridge or Copper. Vail was a bit farther and more possibilities for road issues though.

55 min flight + 45 min Uber Ski to Alta. Only comparable with bad weekend traffic/snowy conditions on I-70 for sure.
