Land Of Opportunity
UNITED KINGDOM, September 8, 2005. Think of skiing in the USA and you inevitably think of the Rocky Mountains and Utah's champagne powder, Jackson Hole's challenging steeps or the mighty mountains of Colorado.
Which is all well and good - and easily accessible with Pure Vacations - but this innovative company is providing British skiers with more than just the Rocky Mountains this winter.
As the first British tour operator to offer the ski resorts of New York State to the UK market, and with additional east coast options in Maine and Vermont, Pure Vacations has got the mountains of the USA covered as well as the snow that will inevitably be falling on them in a few weeks time.
Their programme offers top class accommodation in or close to each resort, from the atmospheric Peery Hotel in Salt Lake City (the city's oldest hotel) to the opulent Kaatskill Mountain Club, recently opened at the foot of Hunter Mountain Ski Resort in New York State.
Great value package deals are available including flights, accommodation and in some cases car hire and lift passes, and with the pound continuing to be strong against the dollar this is a great time to discover the uncrowded slopes of either the Rockies or the east coast and enjoy a very different ski experience to that of the Alps.
"The States is about as user-friendly as you can get on a skiing or boarding vacation," says Pure Vacation's Managing Director Wesley Baker. "Service is everything, from slope grooming to lift operation and hotel facilities, there are no language barriers and your pound goes a long way compared to Europe. We believe the USA should be on the 'to do' list of any keen skier or boarder".
Pure Vacations can also put together 'tailor made' packages for skiers and boarders wishing to travel independently, and the company will be bringing yet more resorts on line over the winter, so check out www.purevacations.com for some of the most unique North American skiing opportunities available.
