Let’s SKI...
(11/28/2008) For "Molly's Travel" Ellicottville

Now, I know this topic is discussed often but……we still keep talking about it, especially with the great skiing that is available to us right here in our own back yard.

After the season is ending or midway, just for a change of pace, consider some other options that are available; If you are thinking of a winter getaway, you should not only be thinking of the Caribbean, you should, also, be thinking of a great ski trip.

There are so many great ski destinations! Take for instance, Jackson Hole, which happens to be my favorite spot; with its spectacular scenery it is not only a magnificent site in the winter, it is as beautiful in the summer.  Enjoy a ski-in/ski-out hotel in Wyoming’s spectacular Teton Mountains. During warmer months, play golf, fish or hike in unspoiled natural wilderness.  Breathe in the fresh clean air.  Marvel at a sky full of stars and enjoy exquisite dining, wrapped in panoramic mountain views.

The Denver area is a popular destination with many areas to enjoy great skiing. On being Beaver Creek, with the grandeur surrounding mountains and the intimacy of the alpine village. Beaver Creek is a premiere choice for those who value relaxed atmosphere, intimate charm and luxurious comfort right at the base of the mountain. It is an ideal ski resort for families looking for more than an ordinary ski vacation. There are long cruising runs for beginners as well many challenging runs, skiers of all levels. Plus great slopes for snowboarders of all levels.

If a car trip is your choice of transportation make Killington, Vermont your destination; it is unlike any other mountain resort in the northeast. With the largest mountain trail acreage in the east and the largest vertical drop in New England, Killington can’t be beat. There’s more snow, ski, snowboard, and outdoor fun than you’ll know what to do with.

Or consider a more adventurous ski trip, like helicopter skiing! Dreaming of untracked champagne powder and first rate lodging to rest your tired legs each evening? Try the ultimate San Juan Ski Package. How about that San Juan and it’s not even in the Caribbean!! Comprised of the greatest concentration of 13,000 and 14,000 foot peaks south of the Canadian Yukon, the San Juan Mountains are the best for back country skiing.

Get your dates together, and after you enjoy skiing Ellicottville, try one of the exciting spots that I have suggested.
