SNOWMASS $1499. per person (includes air, ground transfers, condo & 5 day of 6 day lift ticket.)

Snowmass, Colorado is to many skiers, the perfect ski mountain and it may just be. It is always up at the top of the ratings for Favorite Ski Areas in the polls and has been named the number one ski area several times. And, if you need more than one or two mountains to bring you thrills, well there are actually three more just minutes away. Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands & Buttermilk are just a short shuttle ride, and you can ski all four mountains with your lift ticket. Lodging is in the Top of the Village Condos and are ski in and ski out. Other amenities include a pool, hot tub and shuttle on call. There are many great restaurants, shopping and activities for the skier or non skier to indulge in, so what are you waiting for? Get your ski buddies and sign up Now! Payable in three payments of $500, $499. & $499.

( LRSC membership required. Final payment due by Nov. 10, 2015 )

Winter Park/Mary Jane

March 2 - 9, 2016 $1275. pp

(Wednesday to Wednesday)

Includes air, ground transfers, condo and 5 day lift ticket

Two mountains. One for everybody

& one for those who dare for more !

Winter Park ski area is the closest major ski area to Denver & and was often overlooked because it did not have the glitzy reputation of Aspen or Vail. The mountains have always been known for great skiing and now the base has been updated & there is no excuse to stay away any longer. The Mary Jane ski area offers more advanced terrain for those skiers who want a bigger thrill on the steeps. The Zephyr Mountain condos are located at the base area & offer easy access to the lifts (50 yds) and other base area facilities. This ski trip is Wednesday to Wednesday and offers a tremendous value plus it will include a group party as usual. Limited space, so sign up early ! Payable in three payments of $425.00 LRSC membership required. Final payment due December 8, 2015
