    Winter Park, Colorado

    Introduction:

    Situated at over 9,000 feet in the majestic Rocky Mountains, yet only two hours from the Denver International Airport, Winter Park Resort is one of the most accessible of the major ski and summer resorts in Colorado. From a skiers point of view, it's also one of the best. Just check out these stats…

    • 3,078 acres of ski terrain with a 3,060 ft vertical - the longest trail, 7.4 miles
    • 26 lifts, including two high speed six packs and seven high speed quads
    • 4 new lifts in the last 4 years - plus a whole new base Village!
    • Consistently rated # 1 for bump skiing in North America on Mary Jane (where else of course) by Ski & Skiing Magazine
    • Average 354 inches of dry Colorado powder each winter
    • 300 days of annual sunshine

      And finally, if experience and innovation count, how about …

    • 70 years of continual operation, resort development and history - right here at Winter Park
    Here is a bit of the early history… up here it's all around you.

    Skiing began in Winter Park, then known as "West Portal", in the 1920's. The construction workers, building the Moffat Tunnel were looking

    for some diversion and a bit of excitement. They found it on the steep slopes above their camps. It was a hike up and fly down adventure on basic barrel staves, the woman skied in heavy woolen dresses.

    By the late 1930's, the City of Denver, saw the potential for Winter Park as a year round playground for city dwellers and out of town tourists. The Winter Park we know was dedicated on January 28, 1940, opening for the ski season with one T-bar on Hughes. Lift tickets cost a dollar.

    By the late 40's there were seven lifts and many more trails. Serious development had begun. To better manage the resort, the Winter Park Recreational Association was established and they soon hired Steve Bradley (of the legionary '39 Dartmouth ski team) to run the resort. Steve introduced the "Bradley Packer" which is recognized today as the prototype of mechanized slope grooming. You can see photos of Bradley Packers in action in West Portal - where SkiTops Trade Show is to be held.

    The 50's saw further innovation - with the construction of The Balcony House, the first at any ski area to use passive solar heating. Winter Park was 'green' before it was cool.

    The Ski Train is yet another historic and charming aspect of skiing at Winter Park. Operating continuously since the early days, SkiTops was pleased to ride this train and ski Winter Park as a group back in 1998 when Network was held in downtown Denver. The SkiTops party on the train ride home is something of a legion as well.

    Under the leadership of Jerry Groswold, the 70's saw the development of the world renowned National Center for the Disabled. Countless numbers of disabled skiers attribute their love of the sport to those first experiences at Winter Park.

    Since then, Winter Park has only improved - the expansion into Mary Jane (1975/1976), Vasquez Ridge (1986/1987), Parsenn Bowl (1992/1993), and the Vasquez Cirque (1998) quickly come to mind. Not to mention the brand new Village at Winter Park completed this past winter offering expanded lodging, restaurant and retail space.

    Then in 2002, under the leadership of the current President, Gary DeFrange, Winter Park Resort and the City of Denver joined forces with prominent developer Intrawest to carry the Resort to the next level. SkiTops members will see the fruits of that collaboration this August - it's pretty amazing.

    Today, this year round resort community offers more than outstanding skiing - it's a summer playground as well. The mountain biking, the hiking, the golf nearby - it's all outstanding. Best of all, at 9,000 ft, it's nice and cool up here, and at night the stars come out and really shine.

    So sit back and relax while you read about our upcoming three day adventure - fashioned around business and learning, as well as a good time. This August we are off to scenic, friendly and very historic, Winter Park, Colorado.

    SkiTops Trade Show


    SkiTops Trade Show


    Sunspot Lodge
    2:00 PM – 3:30 PM: This is it. SkiTops Supplier Members Trade Show. Everyone please proceed to West Portal.

    Note: All attending SkiTops Supplier Members are eligible to exhibit at the Trade Show for the very modest fee of $50.00 per booth. Suppliers, be sure to bring your pop up display (full floor model or tabletop) and ample brochure materials. Each exhibitor will be provided a skirted table and two chairs. Don't look for a fancy pipe and drape booth arrangement; rather, expect a series of draped table tops. SkiTops will provide refreshments for everyone. By the way - a year ago, 41 of the 50 Supplier Members in attendance participated in the Trade Show. That was a 10% increase from the year before. This is a popular event - and a very affordable way to get your message out to the Tour Operators. Be sure to be there.

    5:00 PM – 6:40 PM: Group recreational activity - it's a surprise event. Everyone please gather at the base area, near the Zephyr high speed lift - and be sure to dress in casual attire, comfortable shoes and be sure to bring a jacket.

    6:40 PM - 9:30 PM: Everyone please gather by the Zephyr high speed chair (remember the warm jacket), as shortly we will all be transported to our Farewell Dinner atop the mountain at Sunspot, the most amazing venue at Winter Park Resort. During dinner, prizes will be awarded in a "walk off" to the top Sales Agents as measured by the quizzes administered earlier in the week.

    9:30 PM - We begin to download back to the base of Winter Park. The balance of the evening is on your own.

    Thursday, August 27, 2009:

    Day of departure - or stay another night and enjoy Winter Park, and the cool evening breezes. It's nice up here.

    And now to the specifics …

    The Goal of SkiTops University …

    1. To give Tour Operators a low cost means of educating Front Line Sales Agents with respect to the ski travel products your agents will be selling this Fall. And at the same time …

    2. To provide Supplier Members an attentive audience of actual Front Line Sales Agents, all assembled in one place waiting to be trained on your resort region / product. These are the full time agents that the Tour Operator has selected as most capable of selling your resort, or your lodging, your ground transportation or your travel insurance products.
    SkiTops University


    SkiTops University
    The University Format …

    SkiTops U - Live and On Stage.

    This year the presentation portion of University will be held over 2 half day sessions, the first on the afternoon of Tuesday, August 25 from 1:00 PM - 5:30 PM, and the second to be held the next morning, from 8:30 AM - 1:00 PM. On stage, a series of 21 different Supplier Members will take the stage, one by one, to address in any manner they choose, the sales agents seated classroom style before them.

    Specifics Regarding SkiTops University Presentation Slots:

    There are a total of nine (9) full length Presentation Slots available. Each is 25 minutes in length and represent a $1,000.00 investment in training agents to sell your products.

    Note: New this year, when you invest in a $1,000 Presentation Slot, SkiTops will waive the registration fee for your first attendee. That’s right, in addition to the benefit afforded by 25 minutes in front of the Sales Agents, you save $125. Yes, this is a great value, but space is limited, so be sure to reserve your 25 minute Presentation Slot today!

    In addition, there are a total of twelve (12) shorter presentation slots. Each of these slots cost $500 and provide the Supplier with 12 minutes in front of the Tour Operator Sales Agents. This cost is in addition to your $125 per person Registration Fee for attending the overall convention.

    All the Presentation slots are sold on a "first come, first served" basis.

    Note: Two years ago it took about 2 days for the Presentation Slots to sell out. Last year they were gone in an hour. If you would like to be a Presenter, please register for your slot as soon after you receive this document as possible.

    Question: Can a Resort "team up" with several local lodging partners or perhaps a transportation company in order to build a more comprehensive presentation, and also to reduce costs?

    Answer: Yes - and here is how that would work …

    SkiTops will be assigning the Presentation Slots to the first 21 Supplier Members that commit via e-mail registration to the space / expense associated with the slot. If a presentation slot is sold to a ski resort - and that resort wishes to share their time with others from their resort community, they need only to be certain that their "partners" are also SkiTops Supplier Members, or are willing to join SkiTops as Supplier Members - and to advise SkiTops of your plans at the time of the sale. Indeed, a lodging entity could speak for the Presentation Slot - and then advise that they are sharing that slot with the local ski resort. Again, first come, first served.

    Note: Whoever speaks for the Presentation Slot will be the Suppler Member who will receive formal recognition as the Presenter.

    Tour Operator Incentives Associated with SkiTops University:

    SkiTops continues to invest significant funds in the success of the University program. We want to see at least two top notch sales agents from every company at the event.

    Therefore …

    SkiTops hereby offers to underwrite the costs of airfare, train or automobile transportation associated with bringing two Tour Operator Sales Agents to Winter Park, up to a maximum of $400.00 per agent. Simply present your proof of transportation costs to SkiTops Administrator, Judy Fjeld for reimbursement. This offer is valid only for the transport of full time Sales Agents currently employed by a SkiTops Tour Operator member. If those agents that choose to drive instead of fly, SkiTops will pay $0.55/mile reimbursement. In addition … SkiTops hereby offers to underwrite the lodging costs for your two Sales Agents for a maximum of three (3) nights, said reimbursement based on the least costly lodging option, including shared rooms where appropriate, as made available to the Tour Operator Sales Agents by Winter Park Resort (see
    lodging options section of this publication for details).

    Question: Can Tour Operator Owners / Senior Managers join their full time Sales Agents for the University presentations?

    Answer: Certainly, SkiTops Tour Operator members are welcome to attend any or all of the Supplier Presentations. This could be a good chance to work with your new agents for example, drawing on your experiences to enhance their knowledge base.

    For additional Tour Operator lodging, as well as SkiTops Supplier Member lodging, Winter Park Resort is offering several outstanding lodging options at very affordable rates.

    • Another fine choice would be the Zephyr Mountain Lodge, also in the Village. The Zephyr is comprised of two buildings, and each one offers free high speed internet and access to outdoor hot tubs. Parking is underground. Shops and dining options are steps away.

    • For economical lodging and a great location relative to the Tour Operator / General meetings, the University sessions and other events, select the Vintage Hotel. Comfortable hotel and studio units here are very affordable. The Vintage offers an outdoor pool and Hot Tub. New for 2009, the Cabriolet car (an open air gondola) will transport you from the Vintage Hotel to the new Village at Winter Park in about 2.5 minutes. No longer is it necessary to take a shuttle to get from the Vintage to the ski area base or Village.
