Black Diamond Cars provides private car service from Denver Airport to Keystone Resort — direct to River Run Village, Lakeside Village, Mountain House or any vacation rental in Summit County. No shared shuttle, no stops at other resorts, no dragging bags across a parking lot.
Keystone sits in the heart of Summit County and is one of the closest major resorts to Denver — which makes it a favourite for weekend trips and easy for us to reach quickly.
How far is Keystone from Denver? Roughly 95 miles from Denver International Airport — about 1 hour 45 minutes via I-70 West and Highway 6, traffic permitting.

*Normal conditions. Weekend and holiday I-70 traffic can add an hour or more — we plan departure timing around it.
The route runs west on I-70 through the Eisenhower Tunnel, then onto Highway 6 at Silverthorne and along Dillon Reservoir into Keystone — about 95 miles and an hour and three quarters when the road is clear. It is one of the shortest airport-to-resort runs in Colorado, which is exactly why Keystone works so well for short trips.
Your chauffeur meets you inside the terminal at baggage claim, handles the luggage and ski bags, and drives straight to your door — whether that is a hotel, a condo or a private rental.
Shared shuttles from DIA to Keystone run on fixed schedules and typically stop at Silverthorne, Dillon and sometimes Breckenridge before they reach you — 30 to 60 minutes of other people's luggage. A private vehicle goes airport to door.
For families the difference is sharper still: all the equipment fits in one SUV, child seats are installed before you land at no extra charge, and nobody is wrestling bags onto a crowded bus with tired children in tow.
We also serve vacation rentals and private homes throughout Keystone, Dillon, Silverthorne and Frisco — just give us the address when you book.
Keystone sits within twenty minutes of three other mountains, which makes it a practical base for a multi-resort week. Arapahoe Basin is ten minutes up the road, Copper Mountain about fifteen, Breckenridge around twenty. We can arrange transport for each day of your stay, including early starts for first chair and evening pickups after dinner. See local transportation.
Skiing and snowboarding across three peaks, night skiing on the largest lit terrain in Colorado, ice skating on the lake, tubing, sleigh rides and scenic gondola trips. We run all season, on winter tires from November through April.
Golf at the Keystone Ranch and River Course, downhill mountain biking off the gondola, hiking, spa treatments and lakeside afternoons. Quieter roads, same door-to-door service.
Departing, we collect you at your lodging and get you to DIA with comfortable margin. Sunday afternoons are the pinch point: eastbound I-70 peaks between 1 and 4 PM, so we usually suggest leaving before noon or after five. Dispatch checks conditions the night before and moves your pickup if needed.
Our fleet includes the Cadillac Escalade ESV, the GMC Yukon XL Denali and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans for groups of up to 14 with luggage and skis. See the fleet page.
