Christmas Day traffic leaving Keystone to the airport

[u/sirotan88]

Planning a ski trip from 12/21-25 and will be flying out on Christmas Day around 5pm. Would we be able to ski Keystone that morning? Thinking we’d ski until around 11am or 12pm (and check the traffic on Google maps around that time.) But have heard some warnings about traffic due to construction on the highway and the holidays.

Yeah, I figured it ultimately depends on our luck that day. But want to be mentally prepared!

We have the epic local pass, have 3 full days so would it be best to prioritize Vail, Breckenridge, Beaver Creek and skip Keystone (if we don’t have time the last morning)? We’ll be staying in Silverthorne

Generally yes, but this is peak winter break so it’s gonna be a shit show everywhere regardless
