DUBOIS, Wyo., Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — A world-famous Wyoming winter destination for snow enthusiasts, Brooks Lake Lodge is legendary for its incredible snowmobile scene, and for good reason. Offering the perfect mix of terrain, conditions and scenery, Brooks Lake Lodge & Spa offers expert sled heads as well as novices an exceptional experience, making the lodge a yearly tradition for many couples, friends and families. Averaging 400-600 inches of snow each winter, the remote Brooks Lake Lodge, perched at 9,200 feet in Shoshone National Forest backcountry, has been called a «bucket list destination» for snowmobilers, offering an extraordinary snowy playground with scenery for days, including the Pinnacle Buttes, Brooks Mountain and Richard’s Peak.

Brooks Lake Lodge’s dedicated staff includes an elite roster of snowmobile guides who help riders create lifelong memories in the mountains. Activities Manager and Wyoming native Jeremiah «Skinner» Bell has been a snowmobile guide for over 25 years, the last 16 of them at the lodge where his passion for the sport is as deep as the snow he spends his winters exploring and conquering. A fierce competitor on the snow cross and hill climb circuits, Skinner has earned his reputation as a high-flyer who pushes the boundaries of snowmobiling as a sport. But his favorite part of guiding at Brooks Lake Lodge is helping build the confidence of guests and watching them overcome their fears. Especially rewarding is guiding returning guests year after year, «knowing where they started as a rider and seeing how far they have come,» he says. «It doesn’t get any better!» A two-day sledding trip at the lodge, guided by Skinner, was called «nearly perfect» by SnoWest magazine, who gave him high praise for knowing the area inside out.

Snowmobile guide Kacy Conner’s roots at Brooks Lake Lodge are deep – and romantic: it’s where his parents met and fell in love, where Kacy was born and where he met his own wife. He and his wife even married at the lodge – making him a true Brooks Lake legacy. This will be Kacy’s fifth year guiding snowmobiling and he «lives for winter,» having started riding when his parents gifted him a 120cc Polaris at the age of two. Kacy’s favorite part of the job is bringing new clients to ride in the mountains surrounding the beautiful lodge he has been raised on.

The lodge’s third snowmobile guide, Jared Nichols, moved to Wyoming in 2012 after spending time in Hawaii on a Navy destroyer. The first thing he bought upon arrival in the state was a snowmobile, and it was during a trip to Brooks Lake Lodge for their notoriously awesome winter lunch when he fell in love with the area. This will be Jared’s second season guiding at the lodge.

Aside from staggering amounts of powdery snow, epic riding and great guides, the lodge appeals to the appetites of the sled heads who in a typical year travel from around the world to ride, relax and eat like kings and queens. The culinary team at the lodge offers guests gourmet comfort through its hearty and thoughtful meals, all included in an overnight stay. As American Snowmobiler said of the dining scene, «Each course of every meal was a mouthwatering delight.» And after a day at play in the snow, the lodge’s private cabins with pine beds, down comforters and wood burning stoves provide the ultimate setting for a well-earned night’s sleep.

And while riders can arrive with their own sleds if they wish, Brooks Lake Lodge boasts a new-this-winter fleet that includes four Ski-Doo 850s, five Polaris 850s, two Polaris 800s and four Ski-Doo 600s. Enamored of the stellar snowmobiling scene, Travel + Leisure just recognized Brooks Lake Lodge in its coveted winter issue, encouraging travelers to «power through the powder» on the resort’s more than 2,500 miles of snowy trails.

Overnight winter rates at Brooks Lake Lodge start at $450 per person per night and include all meals and all activities and guides (snowmobile rentals carry a separate fee). For the 2020/21 winter season, which runs December 20, 2020, through March 15, 2021, the lodge is limiting accommodations to a maximum of 18 overnight guests at a time, as the safety of staff and guests is the number-one priority.

VAIL, Colo., Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Après is that special time after a day on the slopes where you unbuckle the boots, kick back, have a snack and enjoy a favorite beverage while recounting the day’s highlights. The tradition has become an integral part of a Vail, Colorado, ski day and while the look may be a little different this year, the Antlers at Vail hotel is offering a new package that allows guests to create their own more intimate but equally enjoyable end-of-day scene. With the Rooms, Boards and Bottles – Stay and Après package, guests can return after a day of fun in the snow to a private après-ski experience with a chef-prepared charcuterie board and wine or local beer to enjoy in the comfort of their own spacious condominium complete with a crackling gas fireplace, flat screen TV and a private balcony to take in the fresh mountain air and views.

Located close walking distance to Vail’s Eagle Bahn Gondola, the Antlers offers a convenient and amenities-filled option for travelers to stay, play – and now après – in Vail. The individually decorated condominium suites range from studios to four-bedroom units, each featuring a fully equipped kitchen, dining area and a comfy living room space to stretch out in and relax after the best of winter outdoor activities. Antlers Stay and Après guests can enjoy the ultimate in-suite experience with Chef Barry’s fabulous complimentary après-ski charcuterie board, arrayed with a hearty assortment of cheese and meat, chicken and tuna salad, pickles, olives, vegetable crudité, hummus, gluten-free crackers and sliced baguette, all paired with a bottle of wine or six-pack of Colorado craft beer.

Forget fighting for a table or waiting for what feels like an eternity for that well-earned drink. At the Antlers, the après experience begins upon your return to the suite. And a chance to warm up and soothe sore muscles from a day of Colorado skiing is as close as the Antlers at Vail’s two creekside hot tubs accompanied by the year-round heated outdoor pool.

The new Rooms, Boards and Bottles – Stay and Après package at Antlers at Vail starts at $932 plus tax for three nights in a studio suite (and, as always, NO resort fees). The package is available in any of the Antlers condominiums from studio to four-bedroom, with additional nights available at a 15-20% discount.

As for guests who wish to enjoy more than one après-ski experience in their private Antlers residence, local restaurants such as Garfinkel’s, with its traditional American pub food, and El Sabor, with authentic Mexican cuisine, will deliver their popular après offerings to the Antlers front desk. Or guests can bring their own fixings to prepare DIY après snacks and meals in the suite’s full kitchen stocked with all the cooking essentials.
