Vail • Jan. 17–23 $2,600
(double occupancy)
Sign-up begins June 1
In January, we will head to Colorado and stay at the Manor Vail resort, with its fantastic, ski-in/ski-out condos and popular daily breakfast buffet. It is a great location for the skiers as well as those of us who will be enjoying the Village of Vail, known for its boutiques, eateries, ice skating in the center of town and lots of retail therapy.
The city is a one-ofa- kind in the USA and is modeled after European villages. The free shuttle and bus service from Manor Vail is convenient for both in town and nearby. The skiing is superb, for its bowls, groomed runs, gardens of moguls and 5,317 acres of fun!
Park City • Feb. 7–13 $2,650 (double occupancy)
Sign-up begins June 1
In February, we will go to Utah, where Park City is a skiers’ delight. We will stay at the Snow Flower condominiums, where you put your boots on, go out your patio or back door with your skis in hand, slip them on and down the mountain you go. Come back the same way, just come down the correct run and home will be there.
For a change and a day of fun and wonder, ride the free bus to Deer Valley. You will have to buy a lift ticket to ski, since they are not on the Epic Pass. Upside, when you are done skiing for the day, they will carry your skis back to the bus, and your boots too, if you brought along a change of boots.
