  It's Golf time!!    

  
  

  We are a FUN golf group- we are not all great golfers, just enjoying the sport, friends and the outdoors.   

  We will be playing 'Pay as you Go' which means you can come to any one or all the dates. No prior commitments more than 1-2 weeks in advance. They are county courses, we play 9 holes and all the courses have carts available if you want one.

  We can't make reservations until 2 weeks prior, so can't confirm that we have that park or time slot until reservations are made. So, if you are interested, please call, text or email me and I will let you know for sure where we are playing. We will be starting on June 4th and will most likely golf on Tuesdays.

  We try to start at 5:20 pm or as close to that as I can get and then after golf get together for drinks/food and bragging rights about how great we all did (LOL)!

  Let me know if you are interested and I will send you a tentative schedule and add you to the weekly email list with confirmations of the site and time.

  Please email me:

  The Aspen/Snowmass Experience

  Anyplace else this would be four separate vacations. Snowmass, Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk – with more than 5,300 acres of terrain and boundless dining and nightlife, there are more than enough reasons to plan a ski trip to the most exciting winter escape in the world.  Four mountains, one lift ticket – experience The Power of Four.

  SNOWMASS
  

  
  

  A consistently well-ranked family ski vacation destination, The resort is a favorite ski resort for skiers and snowboarders of all levels and terrain preferences. Snowmass' impressive 3,000-plus acres offers terrain ranging from wide-open groomers to playful glades and gullies to steep, backcountry-like runs.
  

  At Snowmass, you could spend your entire trip skiing and riding its terrain without covering the same ground twice. From the choice expert terrain of Burnt Mountain Glades, High Alpine and the Cirque, to the long blue groomers and impressive beginner facilities for newcomers, it is an easy choice.
  

  ASPEN

  

  At Aspen Mountain you can ski down the same runs that hosted last year's World Cup finals, ride through gladed powder stashes, chase after the snowcat-towed Oasis Champagne Bar, or put together one quad-burning top-to-bottom after another. And all of this is just steps away from downtown Aspen. No wonder this mountain is a legend.

  In fact, Aspen Mountain doesn't have any green runs on it, so beginner skiers or snowboarders will want to avoid the mountain. Aspen Mountain has nearly 3,000-plus vertical feet every run via the Silver Queen Gondola. From high-speed, steep groomers to challenging mogul runs to technical tree runs, Aspen has terrain options for every type of advanced to expert skiers and snowboarders. Intermediate skiers have some unique gully cruisers to zip down.

  ASPEN HIGHLANDS

  
  

  Of the four mountains, Aspen Highlands avoids the spotlight, which is perfectly fine with the locals and in-the-know skiers and riders who tackle its uncrowded slopes. Hike the ridge to Highland Bowl for the sweetest run of your life, or simply cruise along the mid-mountain groomers off the Cloud Nine chairlift.
  

  BUTTERMILK

  
  

  Buttermilk is one mountain with two personalities. Best known around the world for being home to the Winter X Games and the Red Bull Double Pipe event, the mountain has become an icon for freestyle riders and skiers, who hit up the Buttermilk Park to see what they’re made of. But the mountain is also easy-going for beginners.

  For more information, visit www.aspensnowmass.com

  Lodging: Top of the Village
  

  
  

  Top of the Village perches directly on the ski slope, allowing for incredible views and easy access to lifts. Ski-in, ski-out lodging in deluxe condominiums. Within walking distance of shopping, restaurants, and activities in Snowmass. Accommodations include, private covered parking, washer/dryer and gas grille in every condo, outdoor heated pool, two hot tubs, sauna, exercise room and elevator serviced buildings. Complimentary TOV shuttle transportation throughout Snowmass Village during hours of operations.

  Be sure you read and understand all of the ski trip policies as published including cancellation policies.

  The tranquil Provençal landscapes and wild moors of the Camargue region

  The colors: from the green expanses of vineyards to the pink of the salt marshes of the little village of Aigues Mortes

  Relaxation on board at the end of each day's ride

  What awaits you

  A week of cycling, suitable even for less experienced cyclists. The stages are mainly on back roads with little traffic, mostly flat, with a few ups and downs in northern Arles. There's only one more challenging stretch, to reach Les Baux de Provence, but the extraordinary scenery that you pass through certainly repays the effort. The rides are combined with boat rides to reach the starting points of the routes and to enjoy the views from the water.

  This tour can be self-guided or guided: choose to cycle at your own pace using our App, or with the whole group following the tour leader.
