Think Three: The Secret For Planning Your Perfect Ski Trip
Copper Mountain's Packaged Deal
You have so many options when it comes to winter getaways. So how do you pick the one that’s right for you? You have to account for the wants and needs of everyone in your family or vacation group. Then you have to consider your budget, as well as your travel dates. If you’re planning your trip for a holiday weekend, be prepared to pay a bit more. If your vacation dates are flexible, you can score some excellent deals across the board. When putting your plan together, strategize in terms of checklists.

First things first.
- Who’s in? If you’re taking your immediate family, you’ve (hopefully) got this one. But what about the extended family? Any in-laws or cousins coming along for the ride? Maybe this is the opportunity to work in some time with the relatives you REALLY wanted to spend Christmas with – or just wish you saw more often. Is this the annual besties roundup? Or maybe a reunion? Determining the group that’s going is the first step in planning your winter escape.
- Who likes what? You’re a pack of skiers or snowboarders? Great. But wait – your young cousin REALLY wants to come, but has never been on skis and isn’t all that athletic. This is why you need a destination with options – make room for everyone to join the party.
- Who’s got skills? And at what level? It’s more likely than not that your group has different skill sets. Find out. If it’s hands down unanimous for loads of moguls, alright. But let those who are happiest on the cruisers find their fun too. Use this as the basis for your choice of mountain destination. Chances are, you’ll be looking for variety.
Seek out special.
- Map it out. Take a look at the resort websites you’re considering. Click on the trail maps. Do you see stripes running in black, blue and green? Do you see updated, express chairlifts? How about terrain parks and back bowls? Check for all of these things so that everyone coming along will have happy days.
- Find more fun. Do you want a vacation that’s truly memorable – loaded with moments that entertain beyond the time on skis or board? Here’s where you’ll look for a resort with more. How about taking your gang on a roller coaster ride through the pines? You’ll want the one that delivers on vertical drops, 360° turns, and 25 mph max speeds, but also has control options for those not looking for high grade thrills. Live music is another perk to enjoy throughout your visit. Make sure there is an element of fun/nightlife waiting.
Snag a deal.
- 3 is a magic number. There’s power in the number three, so why not put it into action? A ski resort that already offers up a lot, but is ready to give even more, is a resort devoted to delivering your best possible vacation. Psst! We know of a Colorado resort utilizing the power of 3 through this winter season. Copper Mountain’s 3 Is Magic deal can save you up to 58% off your winter vacation. The lowest prices on lodging and lift ticket packages are guaranteed, with great deals on equipment rentals, ski and ride school, and even more perks tucked in.
