Amy says, "I love nothing more than to be skiing, hiking, biking, fishing or just soaking up the sun with the ones I love, including my trusty 4-legged companion. At a young age my parents would take me on trips to the Colorado Rockies and so my obsession with nature and the mountains began. I have been helping families plan summer and winter trips to the mountains for 11 years now. I am not your average travel planner. My goal is to create more than a vacation. I want to help you create memories that will last a lifetime. Some of my most cherished belongings are the memories that I have of travel with my family and friends. I am now a mother and I look forward to the days that I get to share my love of the mountains and adventure with my daughter. There is nothing more valuable than time spent together doing something fun with the ones you love."

Cory is celebrating his 9th year with SnowVentures and his 11th year in the ski industry. Introduced to skiing at the age of 4, Cory's first big mountain ski trip was with a church group at the age of 15, leading him to the dream of being a true mountain man. That dream was realized when he moved from Minnesota to Summit County, Colorado 12 years ago.

Cory says, "I was always involved with the booking process of my own travel, and always loved planning ski trips for me and my friends. When I moved to Colorado, not really sure what I wanted to do after college, I applied for a Ski Vacation Specialist position and it ended up being a great decision. I love booking vacations, whether it's a ski trip for a client or my own personal travel. I treat every trip I book as if it were my own trip, making sure my clients are getting the best deals and places to stay."

Cory's Recommendations:

• Best Mountains to Ski & Ride: Vail, Breckenridge, Snowbird, Whistler
• Best Ski Movies: Art of Flight, That's It, That's All
• Favorite Travel Destinations: Japan, New Zealand, Costa Rica, Thailand, Telluride, Lake Powell

Born in Colorado, Kai has always loved the Rockies. After a family move to Minnesota, Kai - being the only skier in the family, planned his family's first Rocky Mountain ski vacation at the age of 13. That experience of poring over all the ski magazines to decide upon a destination was almost half the fun for Kai, and here he is still planning ski vacations 22 years later! That first trip he planned for his family? They chose Keystone, of course -- long known as a great family mountain and resort!

Kai says, "A few years back, I was fortunate enough to spend 5 seasons as one of Deer Valley Resort's ski instructors. Utah, the Beehive State, has been my home for over 10 years now, and I've spent the last 7 years planning ski vacations professionally. During that time I've traveled to most of the major western ski resorts across 6 states and 2 continents to lay down some turns and check out their scene with your perspective in mind."

Kai's Highlights:

• Telemark skier
• PSIA Certified Ski Instructor
• Served 4 years in the Navy
• Vacations anywhere with a sailboat or set of skis
• Wants to take his kittens skiing with him :)

Lilly moved from Florida to Breckenridge in 1998 for love, and found it, along with a new appreciation for the mountain lifestyle. Lilly joined SnowVentures in 1994 and says it was the best career decision she's made. She and her family, including husband Randall, daughter Emma, son Joey, and Polly the dog, all enjoy the Colorado active lifestyle.

Lilly says, "I love creating vacations that will be lasting memories. I enjoy listening to my clients to find out what they are looking for and what they want from their vacation. I then find them the best vacation to fit their desires and needs, while meeting their budget. I take my own family vacation planning seriously, as it is the best time we have together as a family, and you can trust that I will do the same for your vacation.“

Lilly's Favorite Warren Miller Quotes:

• If you don’t do it this year, you will be one year older when you do.
• The best thing about skiing backwards is you can see where you’ve been.
• No one on their death bed ever said, "I wish I had spent more time in the office."

Randall has been coordinating ski and snowboard vacations for more than 25 years. Originally from Florida, Randall transplanted to the Colorado Rocky Mountains in 1987 for a first-hand perspective of the "ski bum lifestyle." The next few years of traveling to nearly every ski resort in America, Western Canada and Western Europe provided many experiences that solidified his expertise in the art of planning a perfect ski vacation. As one of the founding partners of SnowVentures in 1995, Randall made Breckenridge his home base and has been sharing the magic of the mountains ever since.

Randall says, "The magical mountain lifestyle that drew me here is now being instilled in my children, Emma and Joey. One of the biggest thrills for my family is waking up early after a big storm and hitting the mountain together for a day of powder skiing, from first chair to last chair! Breckenridge is my " backyard" and is still one of my favorite mountains."

Randall's Favorites:

• Vail ~ the Back Bowls still amaze me!
• Steamboat ~ best glade skiing anywhere!
• Jackson Hole ~ when you are looking for a challenge, scary steep!
• Lake Tahoe ~ there is almost too many choices!
• Summer activities ~ camping anywhere in Colorado is good, as is golfing, hiking, biking and the many mountain resort festivals -- Telluride Bluegrass Festival is a must!

Anne started her career in Aspen, Colorado with Continental Airlines. After a few years of traveling the world, Anne settled in Breckenridge and started a small business from her passion for the mountains. Now, after more than 30 years of working and playing in the Rockies, Anne shares her time between the mountains in the summer and the beaches of Mexico in the winter.

Anne says, "We have recently seen a shift in the travel industry ~ from the online, self-booking trend to the hiring and use of a trusted advisor. At SnowVentures, we believe that a ski and snowboard vacation should be enjoyable, even in the planning stages. We will help guide you through the process while offering invaluable firsthand experience and priceless advice along the way."
