Vail Opening Day 2017!

by

Vail airport shuttle

 

 

Vail Mountain announced operating dates for the resort’s 2017-2018 ski and snowboard season. Vail will be open from Friday, Nov. 23, 2017, through Sunday, April 15, 2018 

Vail Mountain was set to open today November 17th, but Mother Nature had other plans. With winter truly taking its sweet sweet time, our rocky mountains are finally seeing a possible storm roll in this evening. Passing by Vail Mountain on Wednesday morning, I could see that they were very hard at work getting runs ready for all their guest planning to come into town soon. Opening day for Vail Mountain has been pushed back to November 23rd. Get ready for some Thanksgiving fun on Vail Mountain!

Don’t forget, Breckenridge, Keystone and Copper Mountain are all open for you to enjoy. Get out there and ride those mountians!

Don’t Forget About Your Ski Pass!

by

 

With less than 10 days until Breckenridge and Keystone open their slopes, you better get a ski pass asap! Epic Pass offers ski passes to just our local resorts as well as passes that can take you beyond our country.

If you are not working for a great company that is supplying you with a ski pass, it is time to visit the Epic Pass website to lock down your pass. Their website is showing November 19th as the last date to get yourself a pass. You don’t want to be left out on the fantastic powder days yet to come!

How to plan your family ski trip for the holidays with a smile!

by

By now, most families have nailed down their holiday family ski trip or in the midst of it.  It can be quite overwhelming.   Here are a few tips to keep your sanity!

  1. Use the standard of booking early (even if your trip is Spring Break), so you can get the flight you desire as well as the airport shuttle that works with your arrival and departure times.
  2. Utilize an airport shuttle (we know a great one) to help you get to and from your destination instead of renting a car. Resorts usually offer free shuttles around town as well as a free bus service that connects you other to other resorts close by. Uber/Lyft are also available in the area. If you decide to rent a car, please be aware of the Traction Law on Interstate 70 when roads get slick to make sure your rental has the proper tires.  Check current road conditions here.
  3. You do not have to run out and buy winter clothing and gear for the whole family. Not only can you rent skis, boots, poles, and boards, you can also rent clothing in and around most resorts. Save 20% on your ski or board rentals just by riding the Summit Express airport shuttle with Ski Butlers.
  4. Not a big ski fan? No problem, check out the other options available to you! Here are just a few:  tubing, sledding, snowmobiling, ice skating, and even children’s museums.
  5. Please allow plenty of time to return back to the Denver airport.  We recommend at least 4 hours window during the weekdays and 5 hours on weekends. If there is a snow storm involved, we may call you to see if you would like to move up to an earlier shuttle.

Do you know the proper “doggie” etiquette when hiking?

by

Quite simply, follow these 10 commandments of dog hiking and you and your 4 legged companion will be set to hit the mountain trails!

  1. Clean up after your pet, always. (this means bring clean up bags)
  2. Bring a leash and follow the leash laws for the trail you are on.  Your dog may be the friendliest pooch off leash, however, approaching another dog on a leash could elicit an unfavorable response.
  3. Carry enough water for your pet (and yourself).
  4. If you are taking a longer hike, be sure to pack a few treats or a scoop of food for Fido.
  5. Please make sure your pet does not chase hikers, horses, bikes or other dogs.
  6. If the trail permits off leash, be sure your pup has mastered the basic commands; sit, stay and heel.
  7. Be sure to pick a trail that is appropriate for both you and your 4 legged companion.
  8. It is smart to pack a collar bell and a light for safety measures.
  9. Do not let your pet chase any wildlife.
  10. Above all, be a responsible human and enjoy our beautiful Colorado trails.  Your animal will be smiling like the one below!
