4 | 5 SKI UNIVERSITY 3.0 • A Travel Agent Specialist Program Massive amounts of terrain, weightless powder rivaling snow anywhere in the world (although Utah skiers may beg to differ), skier services catering to the whims of every family member, and non-skiing activities galore, Colorado is perhaps the best one-stop shop for ski and snowboard vacations sure to please even the most choosy of clients. While each resort battles the next in variety of terrain, ski and snowboard school recognition and awards, luxurious lodging, world renowned dining, pampeing spas, and endless amounts of shopping, it is their personality and vibe that has created an unspoken attraction which attracts certain clientele. VAIL RESORTS Vail Resorts has a family of four Colorado resorts (plus Heavenly in Lake Tahoe) that are all accessed by the same lift ticket. Its namesake, Vail, recognized as one of the top ski resorts in the world, offers the most skiable terrain of any ski area in the United States. With 5,289 acres, 193 conventional trails, 32 lifts, 18% beginner terrain, 29% intermediate and 53% advanced, the variety of terrain is endless, and skiers and snowboarders of every level will be sure to ﬁnd their niche on Vail Mountain. Beaver Creek Village | Vail Resorts Colorado Resorts Match your client’s ski ‘personality’ with theirs Known for its famous Back Bowls spanning 8 miles across the backside of Vail Mountain, skiers haven’t really experienced Colorado until they’ve experienced a fresh snowfall here. A free mountain tour for intermediate skiers and above is highly recommended. If your client’s skills aren’t quite warmed up for the season, Vail boasts a highly acclaimed ski and snowboard school for private and group lessons of any discipline (alpine, telemark and snowboarding). The town of Vail is undergoing a colossal transformation with its Billion Dollar Renewal. Updating and upgrading, a luminous version of its old self is already being unveiled. One of Vail’s three base areas, the upgraded Lionshead, is home to the new Arrabelle at Vail Square, a glitzy hotel offering the highest level of luxury accommodations. Also part of this elite caliber, The Lodge at Vail and Sonnenalp Resort of Vail, both featuring lavish spas, are conveniently located in the heart of Vail Village, close to nightlife, impeccable dining, and an array of shops. The newest addition to the Vail lodging picture is the Vail Plaza Hotel & Club, inspired by the grand hotels of the Italian Alps. It opened in December 2007 as the ﬁrst newly built property in Vail Village in 43 years. Centrally located in Vail Village and surrounded by a vibrant pedestrian area with boutiques, restaurants, galleries and après-ski beacons, Vail
