United flies from Denver to Gunnison, CO daily. For ski season, American flies to Gunnison from either Houston or Dallas-Ft Worth. If you don't mind riding a shuttle bus for 20 miles from Gunnison to CB, you can avoid renting a car. The Grand Lodge is the original hotel. It has little kitchenettes if you want to make your own breakfast or lunch. It is a 5 minute walk to the lifts; however, you can check your skis overnight at the lifts. The Stagecoach is the newest hotel. It is a three minute walk. The Elevation is 55 steps to the lifts. Full price adult tickets purchased online are $132 in non-holiday weeks. Of course, there are discounts for seniors and multi-day tickets.

If you or your wife is disappointed with CB, I'll buy you a drink as recompense.
