Ski vacation with heavy
Utah Ski Vacations Utah Ski Vacations Utah Vacationers Last week I took some time off to re-visit many fine resorts in Utah and the incredible snow its mountains had to offer. With early storms, the snow is nearly perfect. Fluffy, white powder covers each hill and crevice. But being back at Sundance really reminded me of how magnificent the sliding is in Utah. The snow wasn't the only perfect aspect of Utah, but the weather was as well. With over 2 feet of fresh powder, Utah was the ideal place to ski or slide, and it still is. Many resorts are already open. The snow season is here. Experience a great Ski vacation with heavy early snowfall in Utah’s Skier Vacations Paradise by visiting Sundance. Sundance opens December 10th, 2004. Spend the holidays in Utah, sliding and skiing away in the Wasatch Mountains. If you can’t get away for the holidays don’t fret as March and April are considered to be the peak months to enjoy the winter snow offered at the Utah Mountains. Another Utah vacation bonus besides great sunny weather and loads of fresh powder is the lack of lift lines experienced at various resorts throughout the country. No one wants to spend their Utah Vacation standing in line. Sundance has no line even during the busiest days. Most visitors are amazed at the quality, quantity of fresh powdery snow to ski or board during their Utah Vacations. Now its time for you to get out to Utah and enjoy its mountains, have some fun in the sun and snow, and go on your own Utah vacation. The powder is pilling up and the sun is still shinning- with the occasional cloud taking over the crystal blue skies. Utah skiing and boarding weather is great so make sure to bring your sun block before heading out and wear those hats and glasses! Enjoy your Utah Vacation to Sundance. “South of Salt Lake is the casually elegant community of Sundance. The resort was created in 1969 within the locale of a 6,000-acre village devoted to artistic experimentation and environmental conservation. Under the direction of the resort’s owner, Robert Redford, Sundance is an experience for the senses. Guests can ski and enjoy 41 runs on 450 acres, take an art class in the Artisan Center , cross-country ski by lamplight, eat lunch in the cozy Foundry Grill , enjoy a candlelight dinner at the award-winning Tree Room , or belly up to the bar that once was shot up by the original “Hole in the Wall gang” in the Owl Bar .” www.skiutah.com Utah Vacation Utah Vacation Utah Ski Vacation Utah Ski Vacations Utah Snowboarding Vacations Utah Vacation Stay 3 Ski Free Romantic Weekend Getaway Check out our LiftPrices » Day pass » Season Passes Take a SkiLesson » Adults » Kids » PerformanceSki Labs Rent Equipment View the Stats View the Image Gallery View our Ski Lodging » LodgingOverview » Promotions » Experiences& Packages Book Your Trip | Hot Deals | Calendar | Contact | Site Map | Weather | Search 1-800-892-1600

Roberto 4 1 12-28-04 11:43 am Start New Thread Argentina Destinations There are some wonderful, inexpensive options that you can explore while visiting Argentina. Depending on the length of your trip I'd recommend spending time in Buenos Aires -the capital of Argentina- and also in Iguazu Falls , about 700 miles north of Buenos Aires. Visiting Iguazu is economical. A three night package that includes air fare, lodging in a 5 stars hotel , all transfers and breakfasts, plus 3 excursions is about $480 USD per person (pricing may vary at the time of booking due to availability and may differ from May 2005 prices). In Buenos Aires, there are many things to do , including outdoor activities such as visiting ranches and learning about Gauchos ' life. Not to mention getting acquainted with tango and other forms of traditional argentine music like malambo . Perhaps 4 nights in Buenos Aires and 3 nights in Iguazu may do for a nice one week vacation, but this is just but one alternative. For more accurate pricing on specific destinations in Argentina, we usually require: - Approximate date of traveling. - Length of trip. - Main destinations you would like to visit. - Number of people traveling. There are 7 main regions that visitors like to see. In order of how much they cost they are as follows, from cheaper to most expensive: 1) Buenos Aires (capital). Lots of attractions: tango , ranches and gauchos . Buenos Aires lifestyle: shopping, hanging out and best steaks in the World. 2) Iguazu Falls in Misiones province (The Iguazu Falls, jungle trips, Wanda mines, San Ignacio Jesuits ruins, etc). Many times, this visit will include crossing the border into Brazil for which american citizens are required a visa. Iguazu Falls, sometimes called Iguassu, are known because of their enourmous water beds and heights. 3) Mendoza (west of Argentina, Andes ridge): wine tours, mountains, horse riding, white water rafting , many parks and museums . Probably, the 'greenest' province in Argentina for its many parks and flowers. During winters, Mendoza is also a well known destination for its ski center Las Leas . 4) Northwest: Salta , Jujuy and Tucuman provinces. Ravines and high altitude trips. In touch with Incas past history. Salta is of special note. It's building city codes only allow facades to resemble the colonial period so a visitor will find an enchanted place with an old flair to it, a spanish one. In Salta it is also possible to do some great trout fly fishing 5) Peninsula Valdes (in Patagonia , Chubut province). Animals in the wild: sea lions, penguins, orcas, large amount of birds species. When in season, there are guided whale watching trips . If you are into fly fishing , west of Chubut -in a town called Trevelin, the Rio Pico region- there are some of the most sought after river streams in the World for trout fishing . 6) Bariloche (southwest of Argentina in Rio Negro province, like a ski community). Spectacular scenery and unforgettable southern lakes . Bariloche is the largest southern city in Argentina with over half a million people and is house of Cerro Catedral , where great skiing is possible. 7) Glaciers (includes Calafate in Santa Cruz province and Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego province). Most travelers take a combo Calafate/Ushuaia for about 5 nights. This is a gorgeous trip. One caveat, Argentina is large. It is the 8th largest country in the world and 4th in South America. Distances are long and logistics for traveling are not sometimes easy. So choosing too many destinations in a short span will not work. Flight connections will make you waste a lot of time in airports. One last thing. At the time of this writing -February 2005-, Argentina is still very cheap and has a very favorable rate of exchange. In particular for Europeans. So you will probably be happy visiting us, making the most of your precious travel monies. Meals and cabs are very cheap. A very nice filet mignon (almost a pound) with french fries may be around 6 bucks. Depending on the restaurant, add one more dollar. Yes, you read correctly. I was there last December. I hope this brief commentary on why you should consider traveling to Argentina sparks your desire for the 'unknown' or for traveling to a place you have never considered before. Contact Erna when you have a chance. She will help you decide how to best enjoy your stay while in Argentina. Best wishes and traveling in 2005. Travelsur staff.
