Breck to Keystone Shuttle

Heading to Breck tomorrow, and I'm just curious if there is any way (or any inexpensive way) to do day trips to keystone? I know the lift tickets are transferable, and I'm thinking that Keystone might be the better place to ride right now. Seeing as the hotel was booked a long time ago, we will be staying at Breck the whole time.

So are there any free/cheap shuttles from breck to keystone that allow you to get a full ski day in, this early in the season?

How is summit county right now anyway? I know from watching edits that key is looking awesome, but how is Breck right now?

Oh thanks tips, I know there is a bus but I am just wondering if it runs this early in the season, what the route is like, etc.

the bus can be a really long ride though, I stayed in Wildernest, a bunch of town homes and stuff that wind up a hill. I was towards the middle of the development and it took an hour of gaper families struggling to bring their skis, boots, and all their other gear on the bus with them just to get to the bottom of the hill before we were even on highway 6.
I cant imagine what it would be like in Breck.

It takes about 30-40 minutes, it leaves right from the base of the gondola.

And its free.

Summitstage.com has the pdf with the schedule. the route you want is the swan mountain flyer. You can also take the easier Frisco route but that takes 30-40 minutes longer.

It's all in there.

Take the bus from Breck to Summit high school, and change to the swan mtn flyer route from there.

Bus is called the Swan Mountain Flyer. Be sure to get there a litle early because it fills up.
