In addition to fantastic skiing, USA Today voted Telluride as the most beautiful ski town in the country. The town has been designated as a National Historic Landmark, which has mini­mized the sort of runaway development that's plagued other resorts. The Telluride ski experi­ence offers a genuine mountain experience for all levels of skiers thanks to a mix of quality terrain at all points on the mountain. From refined groomed runs to challenging moguls, there truly is something for everyone. Even beginners and intermediate skiers can ride to the high­est peaks and enjoy terrain and views typically reserved for the experts.

Find out why Telluride has been called, "The most beautiful place you'll ever ski." Averaging more than 300 inches of snow and 300 days of sunshine each year, odds are you'll find fan­tastic conditions on Telluride's 1700 skiable acres. And forget crowds: the trails are never packed, and there is rarely a lift line. Telluride's slopes and lifts remain uncrowded throughout the season - so you can really enjoy your ski vacation. In fact, the mountain is so uncrowded that you'll often feel like you are on your own private ski slope.

They are still subject to change but I am pricing with those charges already included (past trips did not list them in base price). The only thing not included in the price of $1875 are lift tickets which are approx. $45 per day. This works out great for those people that don't ski. This is an awesome price especially because it includes two meals a day. The prices are as rea­sonable as when we went to Europe a few years ago. Deposit of $350 due on 7/08/08.

Engelberg is a charming Swiss Village with an abundance of snow and glaciers. The location is also ideal for non-skiers to tour other Swiss towns such as Lucerne and Bern.

Engelberg is a winter sport resort which delivers on all its promises - guaranteed snow cover, thrilling off-piste skiing, and vibrant apres ski. It got voted the second most snow secure resort in the Alps. Engelberg offers top quality skiing with the endless charm of a small, authentic alpine village. Engel­berg also has the first revolving gondola—the 1993 Rotair—that takes skiers all the way to the top of Mt. Titlis, a 3,020-meter (10,000 feet) peak that faces north to hold its snow. The peak even offers a bar that may be needed before the dive down the black or better challenge of the infamous 1,000-meter/3,289-foot Laub of untracked snow. If that's not enough there's a 120-meter/395-foot ski hill and a glacier with year-round skiing.

If you are visiting Engelberg with non-skiers, they will not feel left out of the experience as they are welcome on the gondolas and can enjoy the on-mountain restaurants without having to ski. The town is easily navigated on foot or using the ski bus. Shopping is unique and plentiful as are restau­rants and bars.
