Many families go on a Rocky Mountain ski holiday each year as part of their annual tradition. The memories made during these annual trips are often some of the most enjoyable experiences for your children, but not always for those tasked with making all the arrangements.
You`ve booked your plane tickets and carefully selected a great ski-in ski-out condominium located at The Canyons Resort in Park City, Utah. The condo is well appointed and has a full kitchen, perfect for preparing breakfast just before hitting the slopes in the morning. The kids will really appreciate having their favorite snacks and hot coco once they`ve stopped skiing at the end of a long day.
You hope you`ve thought of everything but you expect that a snag on your first day can create an unfortunate beginning to your family ski trip. You`re scheduled to arrive in SLC around 1:05PM in the afternoon. All you have to do is grab your luggage and then jump on the shuttle to Park City so you can pick up your keys at the property management office. If things go according to plan you should be dropping off your gear at the condo around 2:30PM.
Once you`ve dropped off your bags, you`re going to ride the free town shuttle to grab a late lunch and then swing by the equipment rental store to pick up your ski rentals around 4:00PM. One quick shuttle ride back to the condo to drop of your ski equipment and then its back on the shuttle to do the grocery shopping for the week and handle the all important liquor store run. With a little luck you`ll be back at your condo by 6:30PM or 7:00PM.
You may be able to save some time by calling a cab instead of riding the free shuttle or maybe avoid the cabs and shuttles altogether by renting a car, but other than on your first day it will probably remain parked in the garage until the end of the trip.
You`re really good with planning, but you didn`t think about the fact that most people finish skiing by around 3:30PM and the busiest times at liquor stores, grocery stores, and equipment rental shops in a ski resort town are from 4:00PM to 8:00PM each day. Locals try not to make trips to the grocery store or liquor store between these hours because they know the wait to check-out is often 30 to 60 minutes.
Now imagine if your prayers for fresh snow materialize as you pull into town. Ten inches of fresh pow is fine on the slopes but only makes running around town more difficult than it would be otherwise. Add a 2 to 3 hour flight delay, a problem with the rental car agency, traffic delay from the airport to Park City, or tired and fussy children, and you`ll ask yourself if this ski vacation is your last ski vacation.
The possibility for delays is always there, but it shouldn`t affect your long deserved vacation. Suppose your vacation home was already neatly stocked with groceries, everything carefully placed in the fridge and carefully arranged in the pantry, all just when you walk in the door. Now you can make everyone something to eat and actually relax in lieu of handling a bunch of errands. The only thing to do now is wait for the ski rental delivery company to arrive and fit everyone`s ski rental equipment right in your home.
Even if you run into flight delays, traffic delays, a Utah snow storm, you`ve planned ahead and your ski trip will begin the way you anticipated. Delivery companies like Ski Butlers www.skibutlers.com and The Grocery Girls www.thegrocerygirls.com can make sure your errands are handled no matter what unforeseen delays are thrown your way.
Now is the best time to ensure that your upcoming Park City vacation is truly as relaxing and enjoyable as you hope. Place your order with The Grocery Girls and they will work with your property manager to deliver your groceries before you arrive. Your ski rentals will be just as easy to take care of if you use a delivery ski rental company. Isn`t this a better way to begin your ski vacation; completely worry free?
