If you're planning a ski day from Denver but are overwhelmed by the logistics, let a professional guide handle all the details and driving so you can focus on the slopes. Get picked up from your Denver or mountain hotel and enjoy private transport to the ski resort of your choice, and return transport at the end of the day. Learn some Rocky Mountain history along the way, and get help arranging ski or snowboard rentals if needed. The guide can also help arrange a day of dog sledding, snowmobiling, or tubing.
I pick up passengers at their location. For example I can pick up in Denver and take the passengers to their ski, snowmobiling, doggsledding, tubing destination. Cost of skiing, snowmobiling, dog sledding, is not included. I help with getting the clients with ski or snowboarding rentals and I can help get them to the slopes that match their abilities. Please note that I do not teach begginning lessons and I recommend that first timers take a lesson. On the way to the slopes or snowmobiling/dogsledding location I give them a little history of Colorado and show them Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater and if time the Continental Divide. Please note that there are many different activities to do in the mountains and usually there is time just for one or perhaps two. Please see the options available. I personally recommend the tubing and extreme sledding however the dog sledding is also a lot of fun. Please note that the cost for ski lessons, tickets and snowmobiling/dog sledding are not included in the price. Also the activities need to be sometimes booked far in advance to ensure there is room. I provide the transportation and history of the area as well as some interesting local stories.
I grew up in Switzerland and France so at an early age I started skiing and did some racing as well so 30 years ago I moved to Colorado and am very familiar with the mountain areas. I would be happy to do a ski tour for intermediates and above. By law I do not teach beginners but I help navigate them towards the appropriate ski lessons.
At the end of the day I will transport the clients back to Denver or if they are staying at Vail or in other ski resorts in Summit County. This tour is also available from Colorado Springs but the route may be different as well as some sites.
