Ski Vail

Ski Vail Early Season Colorado / Dec. 7-13, 2008

“First time in Vail - it was great!”– Dan, 2007

Our Vail ski trip, following immediately after our Men’s and Women’s Clinics, is a perfect way to hone the skills and confidence you achieved at the Clinics and another chance to soak up the ambience that Vail provides. Even if you don’t sign up for the Clinics, you will still have the opportunity to enjoy world-class skiing at “early season” prices.

Vail Ski Resort is famous for its powder skiing and consistently rated the Number 1 ski resort in North America! With almost 200 trails, 34 lifts and 7 natural bowls – stretching six miles wide, powder-filled glades and the most groomed terrain in the universe, Vail is ranked among the world’s best – offering more skiing per square inch than anywhere.

“My favorite ski area” – Judy, Vail 2007

OTHGI ski trips are all about great skiing in outstanding locations with a group of people who share your interest and passion for the sport.

The Vail Marriott Mountain Resort will be your home away from home for the week and has become a favorite of OTHGI members because of its attentive staff and central location in the heart of Lionshead. The Marriott is everything a first-class

resort hotel should be and is a short walk away from the Eagle Bahn gondola, one-of-a-kind shops and world-renowned restaurants.

Our week will begin with registration at Charter Sports, located inside the Marriott, where you will receive information on ski storage, rental and more. Following registration, we will have a welcome dinner to get acquainted, relax and discuss the week’s agenda.

The following morning, our guides will join us for a hearty breakfast buffet before heading off to explore the mountain with you and get you ready for a week of truly wonderful skiing.

“The trip host was careful to see that everyone felt included and had a group to ski with.”– Mari,Vail 2007

The group will have time to enjoy each other’s company during dinners and hospitality hours. To round the trip off and give a flavor of the West, we are planning a special trip to 4Eagle Ranch for a down-home, ranch style dinner, sleigh ride and entertainment at this authentic western ranch dating back to the 1880’s.

OTHGI has set a standard to provide no hassle, well organized ski trips to outstanding locations with a compatible group of skiers. Vail is an annual Over The Hill Gang, International tradition, beginning in 1985. Come join us and see why.
