We chose the Yukon Denali as the standard tier because it solves the most common Vail Valley airport-transfer problem in a single vehicle: 4-5 passengers + luggage + ski gear, in winter weather, on I-70. The 6.2L V8 handles snow and altitude effortlessly, the panoramic sunroof opens up the cabin, and the Denali trim level interior matches the price-to-comfort ratio that fits most travelers.
