Kraig Rust

This evening, Frank with Sitzmark (the wholesaler, that we are going thru) called and said I had sent too much money  for lift tickets.

To make a long story short, they had forgot to tell us that,  since we booked the trip early,  Vail/Beaver Creek  was only charging us $275 for a 5 day lift ticket.

To shorten it even more,  everyone who ordered a 5 day lift ticket will get $58 back,

Those who ordered a 4 day ticket will get $29 back and get a 5 day lift ticket

Those who bought a 3 day ticket can  PAY $28 and get a 5 day lift ticket.   Please let me know ASAP on this!!!

Now to help you out even more,  the SMT has decided to spend all the extra money on booze & strippers!!!!!

Only kidding on the strippers!!

Whether you want me to send you a check,  or give you cash out there,  please let me know either way!!

4. Other Activities

Beaver Creek was conceived by a development group from nearby Vail, with the intention of creating a truly special resort destination. Billed as the “local’s mountain” in the region, Beaver Creek Mountain features a long ski season (November to April) and an average annual snowfall of over 300 inches, making its 1800 acres of skiable terrain and 140-plus trails an attractive — even seductive — destination all season long.

The natural beauty of Beaver Creek and the nearby villages of Arrowhead and Bachelor Gulch provide many leisure options no matter the season or weather. Diversions abound in this rugged corner of Vail Valley: book a “seat” on a hot air balloon and soar high over the Rockies, take a horseback trip through White River National Forest, or even catch a Broadway-caliber show at the Vilar Center for the Arts.

A resort community wouldn’t be complete without award-wining spas — many of the area’s leading hotels offer deluxe spa packages. In addition, there’s great shopping, dining and nightlife in Beaver Creek, Bachelor Gulch, and Arrowhead Villages, as well as the nearby towns of Edwards and Avon.
