Greetings from Telluride - Snow embodies us all!

Greetings from Telluride, Colorado. We’ve had a wonderful early season this 2012. A healthy early snowfall got the season off to an exciting start, and this last storm blessed us here with an excess of two feet of fresh snow. As I learned the hard way, better get to the lifts early on a powder day. Telluride is like a dog kennel for the powder hound inside us all, albeit slightly more refined. And when the snow falls, so do the responsibilities of the locals. It’s a grand exclusion of almost everything that is not waist deep powder and face shots the whole way down. A race to first tracks. Otherwise, the lifestyle adhered to in town and emulated in the Mountain Village can only be regarded as tranquil. Every individual, whether you’re a long time local or a first time visitor, is tied by a bond: an appreciation for yesterday, a complacency with the present, and an excitement for the future.

Telluride is an exciting place to be. The addition of a brand new restaurant, Bon Vivant, sits at the top of Polar Queen Express (Lift 5) and is a perfect addition to the already wonderful spread of après-ski locations around the mountain, in the village, and back down in town. A packed list of concerts, shows, and events for the winter season is sure to keep your schedules packed and your spirits high. And the snow...let me rephrase, Ahhh, the snow. We’ve been dancing for and have been rewarded with ample precipitation. A solid foundation is sure to keep the full boundaries of the mountain open and accessible. Any additional snow we receive will be embraced with open arms, open mouths, and open hearts. And, of course, the same welcoming embrace will be extended to our guests. Watching people having a blast doing the things we enjoy doing every day is a magical feeling: sharing a wealth of warmth, happiness, and embrace.

                See you soon.

Ski Town Lingo
It can be weird going on vacation to a new place, a place that can seem somewhat foreign from your home.  Maybe it’s the weather that’s completely different, the food may not quite be the same, or maybe the language is new and well, foreign.  It can be even stranger when this place is still in the U.S. Resort towns can seem a bit foreign at first, especially when you hear the locals speaking.

Lake Tahoe Ski Butlers Bought by Founder
Some good news below for all our loyal customers! 

Truckee, CA…Ski Butlers Tahoe has been bought back by Ski Butlers founder and current President, Bryn Carey. “This is a great opportunity for the Lake Tahoe area and Ski Butlers,” said Carey. “Lake Tahoe is one the most recognizable destinations in the ski industry and our award winning service is a perfect fit for its visitors. I am bringing my knowledge, enthusiasm, and resources from owning the Park City, Vail, Breckenridge and Jackson Hole branches and implementing it here in Tahoe.” It might not be all business, explains Carey. “I am also very excited to be able to ski Tahoe’s world famous terrain.”

Carey founded Ski Butlers out a single car garage in Park City, UT. After a well-received first year in Park City combined with such high demand, Carey expanded to Vail, Colorado. During this year Carey also began to sell franchises. The Lake Tahoe branch opened in 2004 and became a Ski Butlers franchise in 2009. 

Ski Butlers forms Partnership with Rossignol Group
Ski Butlers and the Rossignol Group (Rossignol, Dynastar, Lange and Look) have created a partnership to better serve the consumer. 

“This is a great opportunity for both companies,” said Bryn Carey, president of Ski Butlers. “Aligning two industry leading brands will not only benefit Ski Butlers and Rossignol, but more importantly benefit the consumer. It is a natural fit.”

Ski Butlers and The Rossignol Group have worked together since Ski Butlers was founded in 2004. The relationship has been built on a passion for the sport and the desire to lead by promoting growth within the ski industry.

“At Rossignol, it’s understood that delivering innovative new technologies and designs is essential to the growth of our sport. We’re implementing new rocker technologies throughout our ski lines to help skiers progress faster. With Sensor Fit boot technology we’re addressing all of the common boot fit issues to create the best balance of comfort and performance. We want skiing to be more fun and more accessible; so by combining our time-tested constructions and technical innovations we’re ensuring the best on-hill experience possible.” said Ron Steele, VP Sales and Marketing for Rossignol.

Return of La Nina

Jackson Hole just keeps getting better! Last winter accumulated 723 inches of snowfall, 475 of those inches were during the ski season. Looking to next season, meteorologists predict a return of La Nina! Statistically, winters during which the ‘la Nina’ phenomenon provide 52% more snow than non-la Nina years at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.  We should expect another year with ample powder days. 

            

All new this season, the Marmot double chair lift! This lift will carry skiers and snowboarders 1200 vertical feet from the South Pass Traverse, below the Thunder Lift, to the top of the Gondola, helping to move along the morning madness. Beginning a day at the top of the Gondola Summit will provide guests with the opportunity to get ready for the day by grabbing something to eat at the Dog House Café or enjoying a relaxing morning and sitting back at the award winning Couloir Restaurant.

            

Off the mountain, lodging has been expanding there ranges from not only luxury but also convenient and affordable ski in-ski out properties. Jackson Hole Resort Lodging has developed it all. The Luxury Collection has full access to the 5 star clubhouse and spa. The Lift, Lodging and Lunch, continues to be one a terrific values, providing everything you need for a day for $99.

            

With tons of snow in the forecast, new lifts, and great lodging, what else can you ask for from Jackson Hole? We can’t wait to see you on the slopes!
