Blue sky powder day at Grand Montet, Chamonix

Let us share our passion for skiing with you - powder, corduroy groomers, spring corn, it's all good. And the ski life; comfort and luxury after making great turns, apre cocktails, a spa experience, and gourmet dining with fine wine.

In 1979, Stephen wanted to move to a ski area. He was living in Southern California and loved the beach and skiing. The beach was in his backyard but he had to travel to ski, and he knew if he ever wanted to become a really good skier he had to live at a ski area. Just being an "ok" skier wasn't cutting it. So....along with one of his cousins, they researched a number of options, and for no particular reason, except for the slogan, "Ski The Big One", they chose Jackson Hole. The winter of 79/80 was Stephen's first season living in Jackson Hole, and that choice changed his life forever. A year later, he met Kim, who had recently graduated from Dartmouth, where she had been the captain of the ski racing team. They met in summer, so fly fishing was their first sport to share. Kim's family had founded and owned the R Lazy S Guest Ranch, and she was also an excellent fly fisher. Stephen was playing catch up, but not as bad as in the ski arena. Kim was a world-class skier, and was heading back to her job as a ski coach for the Aspen Ski Team after the summer. Love intervened, and Kim decided to stay in Jackson and head up the Jackson Hole Ski Area racing program with Peter Stiegler. Two years later, Stephen and Kim married, and the rest is history....sharing a life-long passion for skiing, fly fishing, and adventure travel.

We still love to ski more than ever! Of course shredding fresh powder is our favorite thing, and we have plenty of that in Jackson Hole and Grand Targhee. But hey, carving the groomers, ripping the soft crud, and just enjoy a day on the slopes is always fun. And we love to travel to ski also - some of our favorite destinations are Chamonix, France, Verbier and Zermatt in Switzerland, the Dolomite's (Cortina and Val Gardena) in Italy, Tyrolian Alps in Austria, Portillo in Chile, Bariloche and Las Lenas in Argentina, and at Whistler and Revelstoke in British Columbia.

Closer to home, we love taking short trips to Deer Valley and Park City, to Big Sky, or zipping over to Sun Valley for a weekend.

Wherever you'd like to go to enjoy a magical ski adventure and vacation, we can assist with all your planning, and make sure you have all the insiders knowledge to experience the ski vacation of your dreams.

We look forward to working with you. Stephen and Kim Vletas
