Ski.com, formerly Aspen Ski Tours,
today launched its newly enhanced Web site and expanded range of vacation
packages, building upon the company’s status as North America’s largest
independent seller of mountain travel. Not only does Ski.com offer the inside
track on mountain vacations, but it also now offers a host of year-round sport
tour options, including everything from diving to climbing.For the first time, the complete vacation offerings of Ski.com and its
recent acquisitions—Lynx Vacations, Sportours, Adventures on Skis,
AnyMountain Tours and Go West Tours—are integrated, making a wide range of
mountain, ski, snowboard, golf, tennis, spa, cycling, hiking, scuba and
customized city vacations across the world just a phone call or click away.
  Ski.com’s seasoned travel specialists, a network of sport travel
enthusiasts who average more than 12 years of experience, combined with the
company’s independent status, ensure that customers get the unbiased,
professional advice they need to book the perfect vacation. In fact, every
traveler who books a vacation off- and online is offered the personalized
service of an assigned live agent specialist who is available to provide one-
on-one advice throughout the planning and booking process, as well as during
and after travel.
  “Mountain travel is definitely not ‘one-size-fits-all’ and to plan a
customized trip, vacationers need the help of a knowledgeable, passionate
specialist who regularly visits the resorts and hits the slopes,” said 18-year
Ski.com veteran agent Bobbi Carson. “My favorite part about my job is finding
the best fit for each of my clients, whether I’m assisting a couple looking
for a luxury mountain vacation, a family needing a great children’s ski school
program, or a group of college students traveling on a limited budget.  It’s
so rewarding to find the perfect match.”
  Ski.com’s size and industry strength enable it to negotiate great rates
with suppliers for deals on air, hotel and condominium properties, car
rentals, lift tickets, equipment rentals and more—while still offering the
service for which Ski.com is most known.
  “Ski.com’s 34-year legacy of quality service makes us unique in the
mountain and sport travel industry,” said Mark Uhlfelder, senior vice
president, Ski.com. “Our recent acquisitions and widened breadth of vacation
offerings now allow us to provide this same individual attention year-round to
sports enthusiasts of all stripes.”
