Looking forward to a great season.

Aspen: Dec. 9-14 (with my 9 year old son)
Vail: Jan 25-30 (solo)
Deer Valley: Jan 31-Feb 7 (entire family)
Big Sky: Feb 27-Mar 4 (with my 9 year old daughter)

Will be my first time to Vail and Big Sky, so looking forward to checking out somewhere new. Always love Aspen, and went to Deer Valley for the first time last year and loved it.

Thinking of adding in a short family trip over New Years to either Bachelor or Schwitzer...any recommendations between the two for that time of year?

The stew pot in Snowmass (very close to view line). Causal spot. The habanero pork stew is amazing.

il poggio is good Italian, also very close walk.

French alpine bistro in Aspen is another good spot. Roughly 30min bus ride into town from Snowmass

We love tubing. Was looking at Woodward tubing website…almost $200 for the two of us. I don’t mind spending money, but that seems nuts for tubing

Sitting in the lobby of the Standard Highline waiting for our room to be ready. 3.5hrs after it was going to be ready in 30 minutes still isn’t ready. So far I wouldn’t recommend here. Will update if my opinion changes

Edit: the room, view, and location are great. Customer service…a little lacking, but they did let us have a really late checkout to make up for the delayed check in

The air show is August 10-11. Always fun to watch from Oak St Beach or North Ave Beach. They will do a practice show Friday the 9th

I get the excitement of renting a "fun" car, but with the narrow roads and tight parking we always go for something older with dings and dents in it already. I don't think I've had a trip without some minor car damage and have never been charged for it, where with the newer "fun" cars you will for sure be charged for any ding or scratch. Also, you don't want a big car. We find the Suzuki Vitara on Jimny to be about right for a family of 4. Recommend Gumbs car rental to anyone going to SBH. Family run business, and Odile is fantastic to work with.

They (twins) have been featured in regional tv and print advertisements for the past 4 or 5 years, so that’s where they generate their income. We have been able to contribute the maximum to their Roth IRAs

We have always used a financial planner/advisor for everything, but feel like maybe we aren’t seeing much benefit for the fees they charge ( don’t even really what the fees are). We have a fair amount invested, just never been in charge of it, so not very knowledgeable.

Appreciate any and all advice.

Yes, they do. Got that covered.

If you are booked all the way on the same ticket there is no need to collect bags at LHR. They will go to your final destination.

Love Chamonix. Skied there last year end of January and didn’t have great snow, pretty icy. Spent two days at Grands Montets, one of which we toured over the ridge to the glacier. Did Vallee Blanche, and spent a day at Brevent/Flegere. Had a great time. This year taking my wife and 9 year old twins. Will probably stick to Le Tour, and Brevent/Felegre.

My wife is most excited for the food. We were there as a family last summer and she was a little jealous that I got to go back in the winter and enjoy the food without them
