We recently traveled to Switzerland, the ultimate ski country,
a destination we had not visited in 27 years... since photographer Greg proposed
to ski writer Heather in 1986 in Zermatt...
Well, another happy chapter ensues as the editors of
FamilySkiTrips and LuxurySkiTrips toured five fantastic Swiss ski destinations
- traveling entirely by Swiss trains, buses and ski lifts all part of their
Swiss Pass. The trains worked with Swiss
watch precision, the snow in April was amazing and the scenery was fantastic!
So was the fondue ...
See our review on how to pack for two week ski trip when you
are carrying your skis, boots and luggage for a five ski resort odessey, see photos
of the Swiss ski resort of Adelboden, Aletsch Arena, Saas Fee, Verbier and the legendary
Zermatt.
We are home safe and sound, glad we flew into Logan airport
and Boston the day before the horrific Boston marathon massacre. We
are blessed and send our best thoughts to all peace loving skiers and runners and doers across
across the planet. Work hard, play hard, celebrate often!
Vail's Epic pass has always been one of the best deals in skiing. Even vacationers were well off to buy the season pass for about $600, often less than buying day tickets on holiday, since the pass is valid at Vail, Breckenridge, Beaver Creek, Keystone, and Arapahoe Basin in Colorado. Then Vail Resorts added on Heavenly, Northstar and Kirkwood in California's Lake Tahoe ski region.
Well Epic just became more Epic as Vail Resorts announced that Epic Pass holders can now use their season passes at four premier resorts includng Les 4 Vallees of Verbier. Epic Passholders can fly across the pond and enjoy three free days at Verbier, Nendaz, Veysonnaz and Thyon in Switzerland.
So say yes to the pass people! One pass, 12 amazing ski resorts! For as litle as $649 you can have unlimited unrestricted pass privileges at these big boys of skiing. Get your Epic Pass at www.snow.com
We at Family Ski Trips are big fans of Vail, Breckenridge, Beaver Creek, Keystone, and Arapahoe Basin in Colorado, Heavenly, Northstar and Kirkwood in California and we are eager to ski Verbier and Les 4 Vallees in Switzerland! Just wanted to keep you in the ski loop! You're welcome!
