“This new pricing structure will provide our customers a great value on the heals of the recent snowfall we’ve had this past week”, said Gondola Resorts General Manager Gino Malara. “For example, a ski-in ski-out one bedroom condo at The Timbersreflects a savings of $200 per night through the remainder of the Keystone ski season”.

The snowstorm slammed Colorado Tuesday with Keystone receiving 5 inches of
fresh powder while Breckenridge received almost a foot of new snow. More snow is
in the forecast for Thursday.

Vacation Rentals – New options to consider

Posted on by

With so many new participants in the vacation rental business these days, consumers are starting to look much closer when shopping for that perfect holiday rental. When Linda Whitefrog booked her 7 bedroom 6 bath vacation home for their family vacation, she had a horrible experience. “I made a reservation from somebody I didn’t know online, and I lost $2,000″, she exclaims. “Now, I make sure to call the company direct, and ask lots of questions before committing any money”.

One of Gondola Resorts' luxury rentals - Telluride

Gondola Resorts lists more than 500 “professionally managed” luxury and modest rental properties, and offers consumers a level of security that many others online retailers don’t possess. “People call and are sometimes leary about pricing, accomodations and the overall experience”, says their vacation specialist. We take time with our potential clients and provide a comfortable and safe way to book vacation rentals. We have returning guests that will spend thousands of dollars on a family skiing vacation, and they don’t want the hassle of shopping other online companies when they know and trust our services”.

Rental searches can be started by dates/destination, and rental suggestions are populated instantly. Search returns are easily given, with links that narrow results by bedrooms, amenities, property category and more. Discounts and specials are listed under the “guest services” menu and offer travel insurance and discounted lift tickets to name a couple. Search returns can be browsed by category in the site’s specials area. Links to recently viewed properties follow from screen to screen, as do the dates of the last search. Inventory in Colorado ski resorts is particularly expansive.

At this time, Gondola Resorts offers rentals only in the Colorado and Florida markets. Those Colorado resort locations include Keystone, Copper Mountain, Telluride, Breckenridge, Steamboat Springs and in Orlando, Florida. You’ll have to do your shopping somewhere else for Europe or Mexico destinations although Gondola Resorts has plans to expand to these markets in 2011. Although the site will give only a range of nightly rates for your dates, booking is not direct — name and e-mail address must be submitted to correspond with a reservations agent (or call an 800 number).

Telluride gets 18″ of new snow; first major snow of fall season 2010

Posted on by

 The locals in Telluride Colorado awoke this morning to discover the very first significant snowfall of the fall season. With ski season just weeks away, thet18 inches of fresh powder made for smiles all across the winter playground destination. “This year’s ski season looks like it’s going to be a great one”,  said a visitor from Seattle, Washington.  Snowfall covered southwest Colorado bringing blizzard conditions in some areas and dropping 12-24″ of snow to the area.  Clearing conditions will prevail on Thursday and Friday of this week, but new snow is in the forecast for next week.

Snow covered the surrounding mountains already, but last night’s storm blanketed the entire resort town. The National Weather Service is predicting snow showers through tomorrow, with an additional 2-4 inches possible today and 1-2 inches overnight.

“We’re thrilled with the early season snow and looking forward to a fantastic year,” said Telluride Ski & Golf CEO Dave Riley. “With snowmaking underway and our summer projects nearly complete, including new runs, dinners at Alpino Vino via Snow Coach, and new retail, plus the returning World Cup and a feature in Warren Miller’s Wintervention, we are ready for winter.”

How to choose a great ski in ski out rental in Telluride, Colorado

Posted on by

Going to Telluride, Colorado?  Well, there’s no better place to getaway from it all than heading to the Colorado Rockies for summer or winter activities!  First, plan your travel arrangements.  If you’re flying to Telluride, than consider Montrose regional airport or Durango airport.  Both have non-stop flights from key U.S. airport hubs including LAX, Dallas, Chicago, Denver and Atlanta.  Get great rates early and also receive a 10% discount on any flight booked with lodging at key Internet travel sites.

Ski in Ski out in Telluride

Next, decide how much space you need.  Do you want a small hotel room so you can enjoy their in-house restaurants and ammenities, or more space via a condo or home rental?  You should also consider renting from an owner or property management company.  Telluride boasts both.  However, make sure you inquire about the location.  There are really two areas in Telluride to stay-the city of Telluride or Mountain Village.  If you want ski in ski out accomodations, stay in Mountain Village.  This area is just minutes from downtown Telluride but offers the most luxury and ski convenience for your money.

Have you decided if a condo or private home works best into your budget?  Here’s an example…you can get a 2 bedroom ski in ski out town home, or twice the room in a 3 or 4 bedroom home with twice the square feet all for about the same price.  Of course, this depends on the time of year that you’re visiting. 

Next, ask you service agent about the ski in ski out access.  Some claim they are true ski in ski out.  A true ski in ski out vacaton rental offers you the ability to ski directly to the building’s door or out.  Really, their should be no walking involved accept a few feet here or there.  Use the advanced search function on most websites to narrow your search to a true ski in ski out property.
