It's hard to believe Whistler Mountain closes in one week - especially since it's snowing on the mountain again and still. With a March record snowfall of 160 inches spring skiing is at it's best! Lots of sunny days, the Telus festival in full swing with tons of free music, free swag, the ever sold-out film-makers and photographers showdowns, and many happy people. After a tough week when hundreds gathered in the village to honour the fantastic yet tragically brief life of of Sarah Burke, the town is certainly ready for a fete. With Whistler Mountain shut down, Blackcomb Mountain will continue to draw the diehard skiers until May 28th. Whislter's renowned Bike Park opens on May 18th and summer sightseeing begins again. Ski Butlers in Whistler also shuts down on April 22nd after another fun and successful season #5. Thanks to all who helped make it such a great season!

It’s been an action pack season here at Telluride but Spring is coming in fast. Since we last spoke Telluride has gotten its fare share of powder days where skiers and riders were able to enjoy all 4,425 vertical feet the resort has to offer. The Ski Butlers Team has also been actively donating its time around the community. We’ve had members volunteer at places from the Ah Haa School for Arts to helping out at the Annual Adaptive Center’s Scavenger Hunt that took place on St. Patrick’s Day.

Vail certainly knows how to end the season on a high note.
They are throwing quite the party - bidding farewell to the 2011/2012 ski
season.
The final two weekends have been highly anticipated and will
certainly soften the blow from a mediocre winter. Although the snowfall wasn’t
anything special this year, Vail still has a lot to offer. Taste of Vail
and Spring Back to Vail are the two signature Spring events.
Taste of Vail –
April 5-7, 2012
In its 22nd year, the Taste of Vail is one of the nation's premier
spring food and wine festivals. During the annual three-day event, upwards of
5,000 people will enjoy all that Vail has to offer. Participants at the Taste
of Vail will experience Vail Valley's world-class restaurants, fine wines from
top wineries around the globe - poured by winemakers and winery owners, along
with interactive seminars, auction and dance, the Colorado Lamb Cook Off, apres
ski tasting and the popular mountain top picnic sensory extravaganza at the top
of Vail Mountain.

Spring Back to Vail
– April 9-15, 2012
Closing Weekend at Vail takes a different approach. Rather
than fine wines and eloquent dining, Spring Back to Vail is more of a party. It
is the epitome of Spring Skiing at its finest. Board shorts, bikinis and the
World Pond Skimming Championships are just some of the fun that goes on.
This year Vail has outdone itself by offering 4 consecutive days of
unbelievable music – and it’s all free!
Lineup:
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals Thursday, April 12 Ford Park Venue opens at 7:00 pm - Music starts at 8:00pm
Thievery Corporation Friday, April 13 Ford Park Venue opens at 6:00pm - Music starts at 6:30pm
JJ Grey & Mofro Saturday, April 14 Solaris Venue opens at 6:00pm - Music starts at 6:30pm
Iration Sunday, April 15 Solaris Venue opens and music begins at 4:00pm
Thank you from all of us at Ski Butlers Vail. See you next season!

It’s one of those ideas that most companies initially use to help propel their name out into their local communities and to network while starting up. The basic idea usually starts out with merely trying to get your companies name out there. And there are companies that start here and end here. But the successful ones are the ones who dabble at first in an idea of networking and “I’ll scratch your back if you scratch mine”, but end up addicted to the chain of support and love that is created from local involvement. Like Ski Butlers has.

Having grown up in Colorado, Vail has always been such premier destination. People from all over the world visit Vail while locals and front rangers alike agree that skiing is unmatched. I would bet that we can all remember our first time dropping into the back bowls with nothing but open powder fields in front of us! It is so much more than a ski area…it is VAIL! It is hard to believe that the town is only 50 years old. I can’t even imagine what the Vail Valley looked like before the legendary back bowls, before Vail Village, Lionshead, Beaver Creek, etc.
