ARRIVAL CHECKLISTBefore leaving Eagle County Regional Airport
Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE) is near Gypsum in Colorado, west of Vail and Beaver Creek. It is often advertised as the Vail/Eagle airport, but the terminal is in the valley rather than at either ski village. Breckenridge is farther east across the Vail Pass corridor. Airport-listed mountain carriers include Epic Mountain Express; selected services require advance reservations. There is no train from the terminal to the ski lifts. Choose your village and accommodation before comparing flights and ground transport: Vail Village, Lionshead, Avon and Beaver Creek have different arrival points. Winter flights, luggage collection and I-70 conditions can change the time needed for the onward journey.
- Check COtrip for I-70 and Vail Pass conditions. Confirm the complete resort address, shared-service dates, luggage allowance and delayed-flight policy.
- Confirm the terminal, hotel address and ski luggage before booking.
- Keep enough time between landing and a fixed onward departure.
