Summit Shuttle

FREE BUS TRANSPORTATION BETWEEN SUMMIT AREAS & ALPENTAL

RUNNING FRIDAY-SUNDAY & HOLIDAYS DURING THE WINTER.

The Summit Shuttle provides convenient service for guests and staff, with two routes and stops at each of our main base areas from 7am-7pm. The shuttle makes it easier to explore each of our unique mountain areas and provides more parking options if parking fills up at the area you plan to visit.

New Shuttle Schedule for Winter 2025-26
Updated 12/22/25
We are expanding shuttle service with an extra operating day and a new schedule! Shuttles will run from 7am to 7pm Friday through Sunday and during the holiday period (Dec. 26-Jan. 2). Shuttle service will also be available on MLK Day (Jan. 19) and Presidents Day (Feb. 16).

Use Our Crossover Trails

If you are already on the mountain, the easiest and most fun way to travel between Summit West, Central, & East is to ski or snowboard via our Summit-90 Crossover Trails. Crossovers may be closed due to conditions, so always check our trail report to see if a crossover trail is open before heading to explore a new area. You can also check the trail difficulty level on our trail report to make sure it matches your ability level. Crossovers range in rating from Blue Square to Black Diamond.
