10 | 11 SKI UNIVERSITY 3.0 • A Travel Agent Specialist Program While Colorado garners the great majority of agent bookings, there are plenty of excellent and intriguing options to the west and north of the Centennial State. Clients looking for light, dry powder and easy accessibility will ﬁnd many of Utah’s slopes just a quick drive Salt Lake City International Airport. Ski clients for whom the wide-open spaces of Colorado and Utah just aren’t wide and open enough will ﬁnd all the elbow room they desire — with vast forests and lots of untracked, untouched snow — a bit further north and a bit off the beaten path in Wyoming, Idaho, Montana and Alaska. If a client wants to have a “ski safari” — staying in one or more places while skiing a different resort every day — California’s Lake Tahoe is ideal. And those who fancy themselves “going for the gold” (or just want a great ski experience), British Columbia’s Whistler awaits. Here is just a small sampling: UTAH Park City Mountain Resort is a great choice for singles and families who love wide-open, groomed slopes for maximum cruising comfort, although there’s plenty of tough terrain as well. There’s even a lift that goes right into the downtown area. While families might choose a Great Western More exciting ski options for your clients condo near the slopes, singles and partygoers might prefer one of the many properties in the heart of the town, and upscale travelers might seek out the Hotel Park City. www.pcski.com Deer Valley, is a favorite of luxury travelers travelers seeking the most pampered ski vacation they can ﬁnd. Beginners and intermediates have ample terrain, and as Deer Valley limits the number of skiers on the mountain at any one time, it’s can be a good place for the whole family to ski together. Snowboarding, however, is not allowed. www.deervalley.com Snowbird, on the slopes of Little Cottonwood Canyon outside Salt Lake City, is great for those seeking a challenge, offering lots of moguls, steep bowls and chutes all over the mountain. www.snowbird.com Alta’s thousands of acres of seemingly pristine alpine terrain, adjacent to Snowbird, offers a traditionalist approach to skiing (no snowboarding). Families and couples are the favored clientele here. www.alta.com Snowbasin, just outside of Ogden, hosted some alpine events at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics. Families and couples with intermediate skiers will appreciate Snowbasin’s plentiful groomed trails and massive snowmaking capability. www.snowbasin.com Sundance is a good choice for couples, especially baby boomers or empty nesters seeking something a little bit different. Though smaller than most of its Utah neighbors, its 450 skiable acres are enough for most vacationers. www.sundanceresort.com Snowbird Heavenly | Lake Tahoe http://www.pcski.com http://www.deervalley.com http://www.snowbird.com http://www.alta.com http://www.snowbasin.com http://www.sundanceresort.com
