It’s a powder day in Breckenridge, Colorado

The ‘powders that be’ have offered up 10 inches of fresh powder for us to play in this morning and over 26 inches for the last 6 days. The mountain finally looks like it should after a very strange start to the season as far as snowfall is concerned. Luckily we have remained very busy and all our guests have loved the great conditions in our luxury catered chalets, even if the high alpine bowls have been out of bounds!

Make sure you take full advantage of our great last minute 50% off offer in Chalet Anna! The snow is here….. why aren’t you.

Ullr Festival Parade – Breckenridge ski resort

Breckenridge celebrated the annual Ullr Festival parade yesterday. Floats cruised Main St Breckenridge in a homage to the Norse god of snow. Whilst some of the links to Ullr were tenuous….. effort, fun and energy could not be faulted! A great time, in a great ski town!

Embedded in Whistler

This November, professional freeskier Mike Douglas will document Whistler Blackcomb’s transition to winter living at the patrol shack atop Whistler Mountain. Armed only with his computer, his camera and a sleeping bag, the “Godfather of Freeskiing” will document the inside story behind what it takes to open the Whistler Blackcomb ski area for the season.

“Embedded is a once in lifetime experience.  I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to step right inside winter at the beginning of the season when the stoke level is at its highest point,” says Douglas. “It will be a challenge to document the experience, but it’s the kind of challenge I love. I can’t wait to get up there.”

Douglas will head up the mountain 6 days before opening day in November. Visit whistlerblackcomb.com/embedded to sign up for an email alert when the journey kicks off. Good things come to those who sign up… from GORE-TEX, Go Pro and CAN-SKI.

Kokopelli Ski Holidays and SkiBundle.com is offering a full range of product for Whistler this winter including lodging, ski hire, lessons, lift passes, airport transportationa and most excitingly…… heli-skiing!!

Come and join the fun in British Columbia.

What an amazing bike race this has been for the State of Colorado. The time trial in Vail was fantastic, watching some of the best cyclists in the world embark on a 10 mile uphill time trial was truly exhilerating. To think that the winning time was just over 25 mins – averaging 21 mph going up – at altitude no less!!

The Town of Breckenridge was buzzing this Saturday as we all waited for the finish of Stage 5 from Steamboat to Breckenridge. Once again the speed and rush of live sport is such a fix of adrenalin!

Let us hope that this becomes an annual event. The commentators were certainly very impressed with the level of fan support and likened many of the mountain top pass crowds to those of the Tour de France

Allez Allez Allez!

Having spent the last 19 winters taking care of guests in the ski resorts of Europe and the USA I hope that a few insights into the benefits of family trips to Colorado will be useful. Now I am not going to try to candy coat the 9 hour flight from the UK. With 3 children of my own, I can understand the trepidation that some parents must feel. Remember, it is just 9 hours, and then the value of your journey will become crystal clear.

  • After a long journey having to amuse your children, make sure that their favourite teddy or gameboy is not left on the plane, and then transferring to the resort, what better welcome than a beautiful warm catered chalet, the fire flickering in the living room and the smell of a lovely meal awaiting you in the kitchen. The essence of the catered chalet starts from the moment you cross the threshold. The chalet crew are there to make your time easy and enjoyable.
  • Oh yes, the first morning on a ski holiday. We all know how it can turn out. Rushed breakfast, lost leggings, children wading through snow drifts when they should be staying dry! The full service catered chalet takes the hassle out of your hustle. Breakfast is ready for you nice and early, lift tickets laid out on the dining room table, the courtesy shuttle is warm, waiting in the driveway to take you to the ski / snowboard hire shop or more importantly to the children’s lesson for the day. Ahhhh
  • Now remember this is skiing holiday!! Here is where North America and in particular Breckenridge, Colorado excels. The terrain in Breckenridge is beautifully suited to all level of skier and snowboarder. We have all seen the family dynamic, some want to try to scare themselves silly in a couloir, whilst others are happy to cruise and enjoy the scenery. Children love skiing through the gladed trees, whilst parents often prefer not to navigate the slalom run that is the ‘enchanted forest’ in Breckenridge. There is something for everyone here in Breck. And the beauty is that it is all found in very close proximity of each other allowing for a family ski where everyone is happy
