Ask A Question

Expertise

I am very familiar with the resort areas of the Central Mountains of Colorado. I have worked in the resort industry here since 1988, and have first-hand knowledge (as a resident or former resident) of Aspen, Snowmass, Summit County (Breckenridge/Keystone/Copper Mountain), and now South Park, Colorado (yes....it does exist).

Experience in the area

I have worked in the resort industry in Central Colorado since 1988, including local coordination work for inbound tour operators. I have extensive knowledge of the Aspen/Snowmass and Summit County resort areas as well as South Park, but I have also worked with groups in Winter Park, Crested Butte, and Steamboat as well.

Publications

Successful Meetings Magazine, Association Meetings Magazine, the Meetings Industry Megasite web site

Education/Credentials

Unfortunately I found the travel industry after college, so my education does not necessarily match up with this field. I have a bachelors degree in Industrial Engineering from Stanford University.

I definitely would recommend a couple of days in Colorado Springs if you can do it.  As I had said before, the Broadmoor offers a Christmas package complete with a Broadway-style show that is really fun

Hi, and Congrats on your Anniversary!    I guess I need a bit more info to have a better idea of what types of things you all like to see/do.  For example, Colorado Springs is a great destination, and

2011-07-20 Colorado Vacation help:

Hi David!    When are you going to be traveling?  The time of year will make a huge difference in what I would recommend.  Also, what kind of things interest you?  In which part of Denver will you be staying?

2011-06-02 altitude:
