Trip Plans

Come to Vail with the Pine Tree Ski Club and
Experience the Ultimate Ski Trip!

Dear Fellow Ski Bums & Bunnies,

Mark your calendar for January 24 to January 31, 2009 and plan now to join the Pine Tree Ski Club in magnificent Vail, Colorado.

Thanks to the BEST snow conditions we've EVER had and a fantastic group of people, Pine Tree's trip last year was truly amazing. We enjoyed seeing old friends and meeting new ones. Let's see if we can make this year's trip even better!

Escape to the Spectacular Beauty
of Vail For Extraordinary Skiing, Exquisite Snow, Breathtaking Mountains

Whether you’re a non-skier, a novice, a cruiser or a mogul monster - Vail has something to offer for everyone. From it's thousands of acres of unsurpassed skiing and breathtaking views all set against a background of vibrant blue skies to its many exquisite shops, delectable restaurants and cozy bars-Vail has it all! And this year it’s even better with the completion of several new hotels, shops and restaurants that were under construction last year. There’s even a rumor of a new place to dance the night away!

It's sure to be another memorable event.  Picture this ... crisp, clear mornings of fresh, glistening powder ... exploring the legendary Bowls ... cruisin’ down Flap Jack (still the best!) ... trying to catch that guy with the chicken on his head ... SHOTS! ... note to Kerrie: pace yourself on the first day! .... Mardi Gras beads, singin’ & dancin’ at Pepi’s ... PTSC Motto: What happens in Vail STAYS in Vail! ... watching our own Superstar, Kristi, sing at Red Lion & Pepi's.... did I mention SHOTS? .... getting to sleep just a few hours before it’s time to get up and ... start the fun all over again!

If you’ve been on these trips before .... YOU know what I’m talking about! If you haven’t been in a while – it’s time you came back. If you’ve never been - WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??? Vail just keeps getting better and so does our group. I’ve been told we’re the friendliest bunch in the world!

Missing Person Report

We welcomed some new members last year: Gail & Jerry, Tom, Murray, Kurt, Debbie & Keith (now Mr. & Mrs.!). Those of you we haven’t seen in a while - COME ON BACK!!!  WE MISS Y’ALL!! Kenneth, Randy, John, David & Angela, Mark & Jeannie, Heidi & Chip, RITCHEY!, Sammy & Barbara, Chip, Rusty, Chaz, Dan, Mary, Lynda & Phil,  Sprayberry, Miles, Stewart, Jim & Denise, Sue, Debbie & Jim, Homero, Wardlow, Jack, (just to name a few) .... where are you??

Details, details ....

Our home away from home this year bill be the Evergreen Lodge. It’s conveniently located within walking distance of everything. Amenities include a heated pool, GIANT indoor hot tub, sauna, ski storage, on-site restaurant and the Altitude Club (premier sports bar with 14 big screen TV’s, pool tables, etc.).

Some cities offer direct flights into Vail/Eagle which is only a short distance to Vail Village by shuttle. Or, you can fly into Denver and catch a shuttle. We have a special discount shuttle rate through Colorado Mountain Express. Either way, our trip starts at Evergreen Lodge, so it’s up to you to get there! Flights fill up fast, so the sooner you make your reservations, the better.

We will have a welcoming party on Sunday. Our special club dinner/banquet during the week is always the highlight of the week with everyone participating, so get your jokes ready (props are a plus!)!

Due to even stricter room reservation policies than we’ve enjoyed in the past, I’ve booked a VERY limited number of rooms. Basically, once I’ve booked them, I can’t drop rooms we don’t need without penalty. For that reason, please let me know ASAP if you plan on making the trip. I encourage you to get your reservation and deposit sent to me quickly. Your reservation will not be confirmed until I receive your deposit!

Rates listed are for single or double occupancy. For more than 2 people per room, add $20 per person per night.
