Visiting Colorado Mountain Resorts for the Upcoming 2020/21 Ski Season
August 2020
2019/20 Opening Day skier at Vail Ski Resort Colorado
Due to the fact that United States citizens can only leave the country to visit 28 other countries in the world currently, many Americans are choosing to travel to the beautiful and luxurious destinations that reside within our own borders. Colorado has remained one of the more progressive states throughout the coronavirus pandemic. With that said, we are delighted to say that the upcoming 2020/2021 ski season will still be taking place this winter.
Here are some things to keep in mind and be aware of while booking your vacation with Gondola Resorts as the winter season approaches:
SAFETY FIRST
Health and safety will always be a top priority for Gondola Resorts, and we will be alerting guests of the guidelines to keep everyone safe during their stay. Guests should anticipate the required use of facial masks within the mountain towns and all other parts of Colorado, as it is a present law. The use of hand sanitizer is also highly recommended as you travel to your destination here in Colorado. Be mindful that wearing your mask and using hand sanitizer allows for the resorts and mountain towns to remain cleaner and safer for all people.
SOCIAL DISTANCE
At this moment in time, Colorado is continuing to enforce social distancing as much as possible whether at restaurants, hotels, or in any enclosed building. As our guests enter the Colorado Mountains, we encourage all groups and families that are traveling together to social distance from other groups of people with a minimum of six feet in between both groups. The more you choose to social distance, the safer the environment becomes for you and all other mountain travelers. Practicing social distancing isn’t necessarily about protecting yourself; it’s about protecting the most vulnerable people in our community. We all need to champion social distancing and other healthy behaviors where we live, work, and play.
AIM FOR DIRECT FLIGHTS
During this time of a worldwide pandemic, it is best to try and book direct flights to and from your vacation destinations. If you have made reservations in Aspen, the Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (ASE) would be the closest and most convenient airport to travel through. For all other rental properties that Gondola Resorts offers, the closest airport to travel through would be Denver International Airport (DIA). Choosing to book direct flights will eliminate traveling stress and lower your chances of interacting with the virus while you navigate your way to your destination.
3 major airlines have non-stop flights into the Aspen/Pitkin county airport which includes United, American, and Frontier Airlines. Aspen/ Snowmass is now one of the most accessible ski resorts in the entire Rocky Mountain region with a total of 198 flights per week during ski season and 270 total flights during the holiday season. The airport is a short 3-mile ride to the excitement of downtown Aspen and 4 miles to Snowmass Village.
Direct flights to Aspen/Pitkin county airport and Denver International Airport
For Vail and Beaver Creek, nonstop air service is provided from 11 major U.S cities and one international location including Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Newark, Phoenix, Toronto, and Washington DC.
There are multiple flights daily to and from Denver International Airport to allow connections through Denver.
BOOK WITH ONE COMPANY
If you enjoy vacationing stress free with all of your traveling, rental, and activity information in one place, then it is in your best interest to book through one company. There are a lot of misconceptions when it comes to Travel Planners. In this fast-paced digital world, why would anyone use a travel planner when they could just book their own trip online, right? Well, not exactly. You certainly can book your own Colorado ski vacation, but we wouldn’t recommend it. You may have a few options to book only rentals or activities, which can lead to some confusion when you finally arrive at your destination. Don’t be fooled!
While there are plenty of online resources to go it alone, the truth is, booking your ski vacation with a specialized Gondola Resorts travel planner can bring a lot of added value to your trip. And since not all travel agencies are created equal, then it’s especially important to work with a reputable one. You should always book your vacation with our agents so that everything is done correctly and, ultimately, your trip is as magical as it can be. In terms of travel companies, there are deals going on this year due to the fact that plans and regulations around the world are changing rapidly. Gondola Resorts also offers the option to pay only $49.00 down for new reservations checking-in after June 1, 2020! Pay the remaining balance 7-days prior to arrival in the summer and fall, and 21-days prior to arrival during the winter season. This particular deal allows guests to accumulate a planned-out vacation at any of our beautiful properties as well as ensuring that it is safe to travel during the time you choose to holiday.
MAKE A COMPLETE VACATION PLAN
Booking with one travel company allows for guests to endure a seamless and well-put-together plan when booking a vacation. We suggest printing out your receipts, writing down the itinerary for your planned stay at any of our mountain towns, and doing research before you are ready to leave for your exciting adventure to our extraordinary Colorado Mountains. Gondola Resorts is here to help with any questions and/or concerns you have regarding your vacation stay and plans. We value your business and will always dedicate the time it takes to provide our guests with a relaxing and luxurious vacation.
Gondola Resorts can plan and book your vacation rental accommodations, advance lift tickets, ski lessons, airport transfers, and much more. The agency is well-versed and fully authorized to book travel for the finest ski resort destinations in Colorado. Whether it’s a family vacation, honeymoon, romantic getaway, or just a solo trip away from the grind, Gondola Resorts is best suited for Colorado ski vacations because they are based in Colorado. And of course, these services are 100% complimentary. Unless you already know all there is to know about Colorado ski resorts, there’s really no downside in having someone on your side to help you plan your trip.
