They have Mountain Express Vans that go from DIA to all of the ski ares which will include Beaver. You could also rent a car or if you want to pay and not worry about being on the road for a while you could fly into Eagle which is 5-10 mins away from Beaver.

Flying into Eagle isn't an awesome option...still a pain in the arse to get to the mountains. If you're going to drive just be really careful. People take snowy roads for granted and end up dying. The Vail Pass is especially dangerous Give yourself a lot of room to the car in front and don't make any sudden movements.

anything can happen on i70 id give it at least 4 hours coming from denver in case there is some heavy traffic. If there is standstill traffic theres not much you can do anyway lol, i got stuck one time in the same spot for over an hour and we didnt move 50 feet after like for a few more hours because there was a badass wreck inside govenors.

how often do you drive that?
i leave every saturday morning for keystone and it takes me about and hour and a half to 2 hours.
traffic usually isnt bad at all.
like two weeks ago, whenever the last time the city got snow and summit didnt, it took me about 2 and half, because there were three plows i couldnt pass for 10 miles before the loveland pass exit.
op you might see more traffic 1 since you are leaving later, 2 since the texans will be invading around this time. but it will no where near take 4 hours.
the worst time is sunday after noons, there are a ton of trucks which slow things down in the central city area, that is where it is the steepest and sharpest turns.
not to bad once you get used to it though.
i would rent a car with 4 wheel no doubt, even though it doesnt look like snow you never really know.
