Skiing and Snowboarding Travel Agent Professional
Because I specialize in trips to Wyoming and Montana, I can also use these venues, as your travel agent and advisor, to book a skiing or snowboarding holiday. Both Montana and Wyoming have the snow and mountains that make snowmobiling and skiing exciting and popular activities.For example, one of the great places to go is the Big Sky Resort in Montana. When it comes to size, Big Sky Resort is the largest in the West—except for when it comes to people. With 5,850 skiable acres, 4,350 vertical feet, and more than 400 inches of annual snowfall, Big Sky Resort is the best among resorts in the West.The renowned Lone Peak at Big Sky Resort is a giant white incline with paths snaking down its slopes on all sides. You can get there in an hour from both Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport or Yellowstone National Park. It’s quite stunning to view when you see it for the first time.Like many other turns in Montana, the left turn into the Ikon Pass resort is marked with a log-cabin general shop that offers everything from breakfast sandwiches to cowboy hats and anything else in between. Restaurants, motels, and bars abound as well. Some of the favorites include Lone Peak Brewery and Lotus Pad in Meadow Village, where the majority of the people who live in this area reside. With so much terrain to explore in this locale, it would take a lifetime to see it all. Therefore, you’ll want to revisit this site at least more than once, especially if you’re a skiing or snowboarding enthusiast.If you want to take the family on a winter sports vacation, I suggest planning a trip to the Blacktail Mountain Ski Area in Montana. Overlooking Flathead Lake, this place is both unspoiled and extremely ski-friendly. While locals exclaim the first run is free, they’ll also warn you that it’s a long hike back up to the top. Here is where you’ll enjoy unsurpassed views of Glacier National Park and Flathead Lake. The ski site also features 1,000 acres of skiing, three chairlifts, and beginner and intermediate slopes. The area is sectioned according to a skier’s level of experience. So, whether you’re a beginner or have some experience, you’ll feel welcome at this popular site.I can also book you at a traditional and historic ski resort. One of the oldest ski areas is in Showdown, Montana. Surrounded by forests of the Little Belt Mountains, Showdown has been providing lift service to the Great Falls area since 1936. It is presently owned and run by three generations of a local family, practically all of whom are employed on the slopes. There is no artificial snow at Showdown; instead, the real thing is one of the resort's distinguishing features.To stay warm and nourished, you can sip the hot chocolate at King’s Hill Grille at the top of the slope and chomp on cheese fries when you get to the bottom. You’ll see a diverse range of skiers on the slopes. If you visit during New Year’s you can take part in a torch light procession in commemoration of the area’s history.Another great place to ski is in Jackson Hole. Because it is so popular, crowds may become a problem. Therefore, when you choose to go may hinge on whether or not you mind to be among more or fewer people.Jackson Hole skiing is a great experience, as the terrain is super snowmobile and ski friendly and the base village features plenty of nightlife and restaurants. Also, you have plenty of lodging choices. The area opens for skiing after Thanksgiving and closes around the second week of April.I know everything there is to know about booking a skiing and or snowmobiling holiday. As your travel agent for these two sports, I can create a winter dream vacation for you. Give me a call today to plan your next cold-weather getaway.
