Join us for the last ski trip of the year to the ultimate Colorado ski resort and one of the largest ski resorts in the world, Vail! With historic late season snow, a mountain with a variety of terrain for everyone, and classic accommodations in the heart of Vail Village, this promises to be one of the best trips of the year.

Trip Highlights

Non-stop air from Tampa to Denver, Colorado. On the bus ride we will make a grocery/liquor store stop so you can stock up on drinks and snacks for the week. Welcome reception with an opportunity to sign up for ski lessons and hear about the mountain. Ski multiple mountains on one pass with a short bus ride to each. Purchase lift passes and you will receive a $25 lunch voucher for each day courtesy of Vail Resorts.

The Lodge at Vail was the first hotel in Vail area. Located at the base of Vail Mountain, just steps away from Gondola One. The legendary Lodge at Vail combines old-world charm of an alpine inn with superb amenities, impeccable service and overall elegance found at some of the world’s finest hotels. One step outside and guests will find themselves in the middle of Vail Village with shopping, restaurants and bars everywhere. The Lodge at Vail also has restaurants, bars, heated outdoor pool and a day spa.
