New Snow Today!



Hello Fall - Winter!

Living in a resort community generates some unique conversation.  How often do you ask.. or even bet... When the first snow will fall?  We speak of it all the time.  Radio stations even have contests with giveaways to those who have the closest guess of the first snow and number of inches.
Funny, the answer remains ever unpredictable... I've seen photos as early as September 8th and as late as October 20th.
Whenever it comes though, it is exciting.  When the snow comes early and the autumn leaves are yet to fall, the resulting photos are spectacular!
Enjoy today's photo from the Sonnenalp Hotel in Vail.  It's pretty special when this view is just part of a 'normal' day!

Colorado’s EPIC season isn’t over YET!!!!!!!!! (and we are already thinking about next year!!)



The sunny days and smells of Spring may have us thinking about flip flops and warmer temps but for several Colorado’s ski towns the snow season is still BOOMING!!  February and March snowfalls have ski area bases at WAY above average levels enabling resorts to stay open into late April and even early May!!  The resorts that have announced extensions are: Copper, Breckenridge, Winter Park (all three closing April 27th) and Aspen Mountain (Ajax) which is staying open until May 4th!! For all the resorts the extensions are weekends only but the snow should be amazing until the last lift turns!!

We are looking forward to some time on our own Beaver Creek this weekend, Spring conditions do exist and snow is getting a little heavier so do your squats and bring your sunscreen!!

Just in time for the excitement of this season’s end Vail Resorts has released Epic Pass prices for 2014/15.  All of the unrestricted Passes have 6 Buddy Passes included for purchases made by April 13th!  For just $49 down you can secure your Epic Passes for next year!  Just click on the Epic Pass logo on our home page!

Come on powder hounds, the time is NOW to be EPIC!!!!!!!!!

Sunny Warm Days Give Way to MORE SNOW!!

This has CERTAINLY turned out to be quite the ski season so far!  Three months in and every Colorado resort has at least FIVE FEET of base snow!
Early February blessed us time and time and time again with amazing amounts of snow!  The mid month gave us some sunny but cooler days and the tail end of February mixes those warmer temperatures with even MORE snowfall for perfect pre-Spring ski conditions!
We took advantage of the early February powder days and logged some SERIOUS time on Vail and Beaver Creek mountains where the conditions were fantastic, the crowds were lights and all the runs and glades were open!  The snow coupled with lift ticket and lodging deals brought the last minute powder hounds out for some weekend getaways and Presidents week staycations!!
The unbelievable part is.........wait for it...........we still have TWO MONTHS of ski season left!!!
Has your February been filled with tons of snow that you can't do anything with?  Have cold temperatures and gloomy, cloudy days got you longing for somewhere filled with sun and FUN?  Then maybe you need to THINK COLORADO!!
March is traditionally one of our snowiest months in the Rockies and with a yearly average of 320 sunny days you cannot go wrong with a Colorado Snow Sport Vacation!  We get new lodging deals everyday and love to pass the savings on to you!!  Stay more days and get a better discount on lodging and ski through the end of this ski season!  Send us an inquiry or call us today we are excited to make your perfect Snow Sport Vacation happen!!   -J
