Think about your last ski vacation…. wass it truly epic? Memories to last a lifetime? Did you push past your limits? Escape the crowds and find a secret stash of your own?
We hope that it was all that and more, but more and more people are reporting that they were mildly enthused on their last ski trip.
So what is different about a guided ski trip?
Everyone has something they are really good at. Some of you can find accounting errors deep in the books, some can whip up an incredible meal, and some can sniff out the best powder stashes on a mountain while evading the snow-hungry crowds.
Unless the latter is you, why put yourself in charge of delighting your inner kid on your next ski trip. Instead, imagine joining a guided ski tour and spending a week skiing with someone who does it for a living, lives and breathes it, and spends every waking moment on the mountain.
Going on a ski trip with local guides means that you can skip the few days of exploration and missing the perfect run by just a few feet, and jump straight into the goods. Remember that amazing little stash you found on the last day of that trip? Imagine if every run was like that. Bam! Bam! Bam! One incredible run after another, curated and delivered on a silver platter by your goggle-tanned guide.
So what else is better about being on a guided ski/ snowboard tour? Well for one, let’s admit… driving in winter can be horrible, and driving on the wrong side of the road, in a foreign place, on glare ice, while fumbling with a map is even worse. What’s more fun? Settling back and enjoying the views, while a local handles the driving for you.
What’s worse than driving in winter? Blowing right by a secret set of hot springs that you didn’t know were there, and having cold feet when you could be soaking in that healing water! One of the most overlooked benefits to joining a guided ski tour is that your guide is equipped with a legendary arsenal of local gems that took years to explore and find. During our guided ski trips we stop at several amazing natural hot springs along the way, including a set that are tunneled into a cave inside a mountainside.
On top of all that, when you join a guided ski tour, we plan the finer details for you, so you can dine at all the best hand picked restaurants that deliver time and time again, plus stop at local craft breweries, distilleries, and get hooked up with the best shop to go to in each town!
So next time you are planning a ski vacation- why not try a guided ski trip? Give us a shout to learn more about our ski tours on the Powder Highway.
