2009 is the Year of the Tram. After its launch in December 2008 ‘Big Red’ is twice as big and 20% faster, bringing skiers and snowboarders from Teton Village to the summit of Rendezvous Mountain in a scant 9 minutes. Situated in the heart of the Tetons and leveraging the ‘mechanical advantage’ of North America’s most iconic lift, Jackson Hole offers an unparalleled big mountain skiing experience. As a counterpoint to the challenging terrain accessed via the Tram, the high-speed Bridger Gondola offers access to acres of moderate groomed and ungroomed slopes for the intermediate skier.
4th Flies Free. For the upcoming winter Jackson Hole is offering affordable options for value-conscious winter travelers-- buy three plane tickets to Jackson Hole, and get the fourth ticket free. In launching this program Jackson continues its tradition of being a world class destination to share with friends and family. Please visit http://www.jacksonholewy.com/ for more information, and to book this great deal.

What’s New in Aspen/Snowmass
Aspen/Snowmass will invest nearly $8 million in on-mountain improvements this year and has invested more than $130 million over the previous six seasons. Improvements over that period include 11 new lifts with two new gondolas, the industry-leading Treehouse Kids’ Adventure Center, three new restaurants, additional terrain plus the new Snowmass base village.
In addition to the on-mountain improvements, the company will complete the first phase of the $18 million room renovation at The Little Nell hotel this fall. The Little Nell, Aspen’s only five-star, five-diamond hotel, just steps away from the Silver Queen Gondola is setting a new standard in hotel room design with the commission of internationally known residential designer Holly Hunt.
On mountain, Aspen/Snowmass will have 100 percent hands-free radio frequency gate access across the four mountains for the 2009-2010 season. Tickets will be a plastic card with a chip inside detecting guests as they move through lift lines. Now there’s no need to dig in your pocket to find your pass or ticket, allowing for smooth and quick access to the slopes.
From the Women's FIS World Cup Alpine Ski Races in November to the CoverGirl Snow Angels Invitational in April, the 2009-2010 season is packed with world class events. Highlighted by ESPN Winter X Games 14 in January, who recently extended their contract to host the X Games at Buttermilk through 2012, the events calendar includes exciting parties, free concerts and athletic competitions. Aspen/Snowmass will host Olympians from November through January as they prepare and qualify for the Olympic Games in February.

Slope Fashion 2009
Are you jumping ramps and carving moguls, but your style on the slopes is falling flat? It's time to start thinking about gearing up to hit the slopes in style. Here are the best style tips to avoid a wipeout in the frozen catwalk.
Ear Muffs
While you might think that ear muffs went out in the early 90's, I'm happy to announce they will be a huge fashion accessory for ladies on the mountain for 2009. These furry warmers will keep your ears warm, while showing you got more than just stylish moves.
Colour
Brights are back again this year. The brighter the better! Yes, we're flashing back to the 90's with purple's, yellows, and oranges. Bonus points if the suit has neons paired with neutrals such as tan, black or grey.
Matching & Patterns
Get set up with the latest matching jackets and snowpants this year. Matching is in, whether its matching accessories, equipment or clothing. Make an impression with a casual pattern that extends from top to bottom. Or keep it solid and extend flaunt a monochromatic look down the slope runway.
Regardless of what you are looking for, these styles and more will be found this year at the Toronto Ski Snowboard & Travel Show. See the latest and greatest in snow style from top tier retailers. HUGE SAVINGS are available so there is no excuse for a snow style faux pas.
