I've used Alpine Express twice now and never had a problem. I'll be using them again tomorrow-- if I have any other experience after using them again I'll let you know.
Granted I have limited experience with them, but the drivers were polite, the ride was fine etc-- nothing really noteworthy to report.

I have booked Alpine for a private shuttle from Hayden to Bear Claw , out flight gets in 1:40 PM , wonder if I can make the 5:00 ski rental at the condos for the kids, I hope so . I also need to schedule a boot fitting for the wife , hopefully around 6:00 for that. I guess it all depends on the weather.Seems like last trip it was less than 2 hours from the time the flight landed till we were at the Bear Claw , any thoughts would be appreciated,(Kids are grown so we can leave them to the their fitting.
Thank you,

With a private shuttle, you don't have to worry about extraneous stops. It's just a matter of how quickly your checked baggage comes out. Even if the flight is a few minutes late, you shouldn't have a problem getting into your condo by 5PM.

I have used Alpine twice round trip and never had a problem. Will probably book them this weekend for our trip over President's week.

I have ridden Alpine with friends, all without a hitch. The biggest difference is Storm requires a reservation from the airport. Alpine does not require reservation, so they will accomodate walkups.

Used both, never a problem. On the contrary, the drivers and greeters at the airport were great. However, the last 3 years, I have opted to rent an SUV. A few bucks more, but the freedom is worth it to me.

We used Storm Mountain last year. There was about 30 of us in a group. They were very easy to deal with even with necessary changes, flight cancelations, refunds, etc. Also, seemed happier to work with us as a group, allowing everyone to make arrangements/payments for their families, etc. No complaints about Storm Mountain from anyone in our group.

I always prefer Storm Mountain, generally fewer stops along the way, super courteous drivers and very smart vehicles.
