Colorado Travel Agent Expert

My husband and I have been avid skiers. He enjoys those challenging Black diamonds and moguls while I like to stay on the groomed paths or meander through snow covered forests of fir trees and aspens. As a couple, I have searched out the ski destinations that can offer the best of both worlds. Weather its snow crested bowls of fresh powder or warm chalets with toasty fireplace and hot coco. With so many fantastic ski resorts in Colorado it can be hard to pick just one to be a favorite. What I love about each ski resort I show the scenery can vary and offer different levels to challenge every level of skier from beginner to heli-skiing and off trail exploring. Being able to find that fresh uncut powder at 10,000 feet with no one around and enjoying the Mountain views and fresh air. My trips also factor in the town amenities and there is also the fine dining, night life, art galleries, boutiques, and coffee shops. Telluride became a National Historic Landmark in 1961 and has managed to keep its old west charm and its picturesque main streets intact. Telluride has amazing Spas to enjoy after a full day of skiing. A trip to Telluride you really get the best of both worlds with amazing mountain scenery and varying terrains offering green, blue, and black diamond trails to match anyone’s ability plus the amenities of the Mountain Village. There is nothing like being able to cut threw freshly laid snow from the previous night on the first run of the day and taking in the brisk morning air. Let me put together a ski package for you, your family or loved ones. You will be thrilled with the Old West hospitality and the skiing adventure offered in Telluride. The gondola transports nearly 3 million skiers, snowboarders, mountain bikers, and hikers each year, so this place is no longer such a secret! Keep going to the top where you will find more than 2000 skiable acres covered by more than 300 inches of annual snow fall a year. There are und activities besides skiing such as a skating rink, and snowmobiling. They also of course offer every level of ski school for those that need it or just want a refresher. There is even a world class adaptive ski program. Watching people ski down the most difficult of runs with physical challenges warms my heart every season we travel to Telluride.  Ready to try out Telluride? The experience I can share with you can make your trip unforgettable. Not only is this a specialty of mine, I can also put together packages for Aspen, Snowmass, Vail, Breckenridge and others. I have been to all of the top ski areas and know them well. I am your girl for trips out West!

Amazing England trip!!

Reviewed By Dana P. - from Richmond, Virginia | Traveled to England ~ Europe
Where to start? Planning all the details of a family trip was so overwhelming until I found Kim. Our concerns were listened to and she always came back to us with fun and engaging for all of us. She even was able to help with planning excursions using the "tube"(subway). So many sights to visit in London that we needed help with the choices. We were given choices based on our interests. From the Cotswolds to Bath, our journey was one I will never forget.

Tuscany dream vacation

We found Kim through a friend of ours who has her plan all their vacations. We wanted to focus on the Chianti region and Piedmont wine area. She set up private wine tastings, beautiful villas, and perfect hotels with vineyards all around us. 4 star hotels were truly 4 and 5 star. Each one had special feel to it. Some of these Kim had visited before so were had first had knowledge of what to expect . Our favorite part were all the sunsets over the rolling hills of vineyards. Looking for a romantic vacation, this is it!!

NY City Here WE COME!

Reviewed By The J sisters - NC | Traveled to New York City ~ New York ~ USA
Kim spent time with us as many calls as it took to plan our girls trip to see a musical. We live so far away from each other and hard to connect often so this happened...... We saw Kim on this sight and her profile fit us. We are so happy we did. She found tickets , hotel , transportation , for us. Honestly , I think all we did was say "yes that sounds great answers."!! The reviews speak it all. Thank you Kim for such a special trip for my sister and I. New York was electric. Can't wait to go again soon.

PERFECT HONEYMOON

Reviewed By Stevie an Katie V. - Trenton, NJ a | Traveled to Bora Bora ~ French Polynesia ~ South Pacific
I want to recommend Kim to handle all your travels. I I wanted to give my future wife the honeymoon of our dreams. I knew of a few places and looked around the internet. Too much with all the wedding duties. Kim presented me with great choices . She arranged day trips that gave "experiences" to create those memories. The over the water bungalow with the glass bottom floor was amazing. My wife cried when we finally arrived and saw our special bungalow . She had never imagined it could be so beautiful. Kim had a nice note along with fresh fruit and arranged a lunch prepared for us as we settled in from our long journey. Thank you Kim for making our start together in life as a married couple so memorable .

All Inclusive Dive Vacay

Reviewed By Colton - North Carolina | Traveled to Curacao ~ Netherlands Antilles ~ Caribbean
Kim was so helpful with our dive trip. Being from NC and only diving here off our coast. Being the graveyard of the Atlantic is not so bad being a diver. A German U boat is quite the dive. Kim has logged over 200 or so dives which caught my attention. She knew each islands underwater landscape just as well as the above water one. She gave us amazing choices from excursions to dive shops on Curacao.. Kim shared how colorful their underwater was. All was ready for us and we will not be needing our dive shop trips anymore. Kim gave us a whole island experience which we will continue to use in the future. Get in touch with this passionate traveler who happens to be a travel advisor!

BEST DISNEY TRIP .... EVER....

Reviewed By Jason - Wyoming | Traveled to Disneyland ~ California ~ USA
You were AWESOME Kim! I stumbled on this site and your travel expertise jumped out at my wife and I .We felt she would find us unique experiences at Disney. We promised to visit Disney as adults once the kids were grown and gone! Kim researched for us and came back to us with unique, fun, and tailored for our interests. She had us out to enjoy Disney at Night. It was amazing being on a boat with the fireworks. Around the World with adult beverages was a blast. Rides, we had some old favorites that are iconic and new ones too. Kim listened to our "have to" hotel list. She came back with a fun one for us that was near it all for night time outings. We saw Disney in a whole new way without kids in tow. Epcot was so wonderful just taking our time with all the attractions. Kim helped us see the "adults can have fun too" Disney. Thank you Kim for all the hard work that went into our trip. We will certainly will use you on future trips.

Breathtaking ,Majestic, Trip of a lifetime!!

Reviewed By Aston an Carrie - Colorado | Traveled to Dolomites ~ Italy ~ Europe
Thank you, thank you a million times over. Kim made our "bucket list" trip a reality. My husband surprised me with this for our 30 th wedding anniversary. Kim had chosen quaint hotels at the base of the Dolomites. She helped my husband with hikes that fit our level of endurance. Having been there herself gave her knowledge other travel advisors may not know. Our 6 days there flew by leading us to the Piedmont area for wine tastings. Kim knew so many wineries that fit our palate. She arranged all of the tastings. OH WOW,, one was in a wine cave with barrels everywhere. Kim even placed 'rest days" in the itinerary which we didn't even realize we needed one. She nailed that one. I'm so thankful we didn't pull that piece out. We had fresh flowers and a fruit basket waiting at the villa in the Piedmont upon arrive. Those touches were well noticed and that is why you don't need to look any further , Kim is the one you should email or call if you want "unique vacations."

Upcoming Ski trip to Telluride , Can't wait!!

Reviewed By the B family - Vicksburg, Mississippi | Traveled to Telluride ~ Colorado ~ USA
We ski out west every year where amazing snow just falls out of the air! Being from an area with little snow fall, we want a beautiful holiday with plenty of snow. I found Kim through word of mouth from our friends who use her every season. Our friends shared her experience as an avid skier to so many resorts in the US and abroad. Her family has been skiing since she was little. I was so impressed with her knowledge of what type of runs are at Telluride. The restaurants she suggested look wonderful as we have made reservations already with ski season around the corner. She gave us two itineraries with deals we could never find. One itinerary had us within our budget number and the other had more perks attached that she had access to. Once we saw the difference a bit more got us in accommodations , we choose the better bang for your buck. Kim's attention to deal and giving us two choices to compare was above and beyond to us. She is our go to ski gal every ski season now. !!

Awesome Dive Vacation on the Dutch side!

Reviewed By Tom an Donna - Michigan | Traveled to St. Maarten ~ St. Martin ~ Caribbean
Kim was so helpful with our recent vacation to Sint Maarten . We both are novice scuba divers wanting 30-60 ft. dives. Having visited this side of the island several times, she was familiar with many of the dive sites she recommended to us. She went so far as to talk to the dive shop on the French side sites. This island is really interesting. Two countries, French and Dutch. the French side had a more laid back atmosphere. Go with Kim and you won't be disappointed. Thank you for giving us opportunities to make awesome memories!
