Aspen, Colorado
Experience the Power of Four
Aspen/Snowmass, anywhere else this would be four separate
ski vacations. It's not just one mountain.
It's Snowmass, Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk.
Decide which mountain fits your passion. Four choices
and nearly 5,000 acres. Snowmass, so many runs, so much
variety - cruisers, steeps, glades, off-piste, terrain
parks, superpipe and the longest lift-served vertical
rise in the United States. Rising out of the heart of
downtown Aspen and famous for its steeps, bump and incredible
views, Aspen Mountain and its double-black and tree
runs are fun for skiers and snowboarders alike.
Known as the locals' favorite ski mountain,
Aspen Highlands features extreme terrain, groomed cruisers
and breathtaking views of the Maroon Bells. For the
ultimate ski / snowboarding experience,
hike up and drop into Highland Bowl. Home of the ESPN
Winter X Games through 2007 (for an unprecedented six
consecutive years!), Buttermilk is also a premier
mountain for ski beginners. While experts frolic
in the X Superpipe and terrain park, the rest of the
family can cruise on the wide, rolling trails. Aspen/Snowmass.
Experience the Power of Four.

Crested Butte, Colorado
Crested Butte has grown from a booming mining town in
the 1880's to one of the most respected ski mountains
in the country, without losing that genuine mountain
hospitality. Experts will find numerous steeps, chutes,
and cliffs to explore off the Extreme Limits and The Headwall,
and can experience steep 'n deep, backcountry-style terrain
off the North Face lift. Intermediates and beginners will
thrill to the abundant cruisers under Paradise and Keystone
lifts. The village and town are dotted with excellent
restaurants and night spots, quaint specialty shops, and
art galleries to round out the skiing experience.
If you're looking for the authntic mountain town experience,
you'll find it at Crested Butte!
Guests will enjoy several million dollars' worth of improvements
throughout the resort this year (from base area facelifts
to expanded snowmaking to lift upgrades), with ever more
dramatic transformations to follow. Innovative architectural
teams are polishing plans to essentially re-create the
central ski village from the ground up.

Durango, Colorado
AKA - Purgatory
In 1965 the ski area was built along
Purgatory Creek - a whitty old-timer from the
late 1800's had named the brook, which feeds into the
Rio de las Animas Perdidas, or "River of Lost Souls".
The burgeoning ski area located in the
San Juan mountains adopted the Purgatory name, and you'll
notice that trail crews have continued the legacy. Now
with 11 lifts, including the Purgatory Village Express
Six-Pack, 1200 skiable acres and 2029
vertical feet, plus a whopping 35,000 backcountry acres
accessible through San Juan Snowcats, Purgatory Mountain
has something for everyone.

Breckenridge, Colorado
This season is an exciting one here in Breckenridge. New
this year, Breckenridge Ski Resort boasts the highest
chairlift in North America, reaching 12,840 feet.
The Imperial Express SuperChair accesses 400
acres of famed expert and advanced intermediate terrain
previously only accessible via hiking and provides panoramic
vistas of the Ten Mile Range. Accessed from the top of
6-Chair, skiers and riders are whisked
up 939 vertical feet to the legendary above timberline
terrain of Imperial Bowl, North Bowl and Whale's Tale
and to the resort's in-bounds extreme terrain located
in the Lake Chutes. The new high-speed quad brings the
total number of lifts to 28 and increases the resort's
lift-serviced terrain by 25 percent. The new lift combined
with Breckenridge's rolling crusiers, which are groomed
every night, the steep bumps runs on Peak 9, the award-winning
terrain parks and pipe and a historic town that tells
the story of Breck's spirit of adventure makes Breckenridge
is truly the perfect mountain town. (All Breckenridge

and riding for everyone. Keystone boasts bumps,

That's right. The expanded A51 Terrain Park is back with
new fun boxes and more hits, along with the reconfigured

don't worry. Keystone owns the night. Keystone has bragging
rights as Colorado's largest night skiing operation.
With the entire 66-acre A51 under lights, the park is
now one of the largest night parks in North America. In

Steamboat Springs,
Colorado
When Olympians gather in Utah it's called the winter games.
When they gather in Steamboat it's called Thursday.
There are several things you can count on when you vacation
in Steamboat. Rich western heritage, small town hospitality,
and snow, lots of it. With an average of nearly 30 feet
of snowfall every season, you can expect to relish in
many satisfying powder days. But it's not just any snow
in Steamboat, they have the driest and fluffiest snow
in the world. It's so different, they coined the phrase
Champagne Powder®. In fact, meteorologists have measured
Steamboat's Champagne Powder® as having 70% less moisture
content than average snow. If you have a hard time believing
it, visit Steamboat and get a taste for yourself.
Tucked away in Colorado is a small town unlike any other.
A place where western heritage and genuine friendliness
are as honored as the values of a time gone by. And a
place where not a whole lot has changed in the last hundred
years. It's just that now, mixed in with the Stetson hats
and cowboy boots, is the sophistication of a world-class
resort. Our western heritage, six peaks of world-class
terrain, and family programs rated the best in the west
by SKI Magazine, continue to set Steamboat
apart from every other ski resort. Whether
you're stepping foot into a local pub, one of our charming
boutiques, or stepping off the gondola, the reception
is the same - warm. But the down home genuine friendliness
is only half the reason people choose to vacation here.
Nestled 7,000 feet up in the Colorado Rockies, Steamboat
is one of North America's largest ski mountains.
With 142 trails, 3600 vertical feet, and nearly 3,000
skiable acres, its six peaks are filled with
world-class groomed cruisers, bumps, steeps, open meadows,
legendary tree skiing, and Mavericks, North America's
longest superpipe.

Telluride, Colorado
The celebrated soul of this historic town remains spirited
and uncompromised. Once bustling with miners in search
of gold and silver, over a century later both locals and
tourists are enchanted by its history, beauty and charm.
Majestic peaks cradle this tiny town, just eight blocks
wide, 12 blocks long and peppered with colorful Victorian
homes and clapboard storefronts.
Something for Skiers and Riders of all Ability
Levels:
Traversing from east to west, the terrain shifts from
expert to beginner, keeping skiers and riders
in areas suitable to their skills. The east end
of the mountain provides a formidable challenge for experts,
the middle of the mountain offers plenty of cruisers and
corduroy for intermediates, and the west side offers gentle
runs where beginners can play.

Vail's 43rd season promises to provide skiers and riders
with new programs, events and experiences that deliver
something for everyone.
Vail offers 5,289 acres of the most exciting
and vast adventures you can imagine. On a busy day Vail

elbow room. Choose from perfectly groomed corduroy trails
to Volkswagen-sized bumps on the Front Side or head straight
to one of the seven colossal Back Bowls to make your own
powdery first tracks; you've got six miles to explore.
Blue Sky Basin is an experience all its own with 645 acres
of gladed trees, cornices and naturally formed trails
that feel miles from civilization. Everyday skiers

Pipe is home to big-time events with a superpipe, numerous
jumps and hits and a unique log rail park. Three smaller
parks, Bwana, Mule Skinner and Hunky Dory, allow a more
progressive approach with features that stand lower to
the ground. With more than 300 days of sunshine, 346 inches
of natural snow annually and 34 lifts to get you there,

your secret adventures in Vail. And if you're not sure
