Guided scenic tours that make you live a real adventure are now possible in Vail

During a recent promotional visit in Montreal, Vail Resorts announced it was introducing a number of new offerings for the 2009-10 season including a new and exciting program called the ‘Value Adventure Sessions’.
Depending on the their individual ability’s visitors to the company’s five resorts of Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone and Vail in Colorado and Heavenly in California can now explore the mountain with their own expert guide. Skiers will be assembled in groups that are no larger than five for a full day session of mountain discovery.

It’s a great way for skiers to discover incredible mountains without spending so much time on technique, said May Lilley,”

the international public relations coordinator.
Skiers and riders will gain insider’s knowledge of each resort and receive tips to improve their skiing and riding throughout the day. The program is geared towards intermediate and expert level skiers and riders who are looking for more adventure with the locals’ view of the mountain and less of an instruction and class setting of a standard ski school class. The cost will be comparable to a ski school group lesson.
Guests will be teamed in small groups with other like-minded ski or ride enthusiasts who want to get the most out of their day. The group will receive special access to move to the front of the lift lines, go places they might not see on your own, enjoy the best terrain and conditions available, and pick up tips and technical information along the way from the Vail Resorts expert guides from its world class Ski & Ride Schools.
“Skiers and Riders are always looking for the inside information about our resorts and we wanted to create a program that provides our guests with an enhanced understanding of each of our resorts without a rigid ski school class structure,” said, Rob Katz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Vail Resorts.
The groups will meet from 9:15am until 3pm at Vail’s Colorado resorts and start and end 15 minutes later at Heavenly.
