So after having a few days of R&R – after all, sleep is necessary to maintain this lifestyle – we welcomed Vail to Portillo.
Portillo recently joined with Vail and Rock Resorts as a Sister Hotel and we had a great time hosting the Colorado group.
Right now Vail is promoting their Epic Pass, which gave us the perfect excuse to have cocktail parties, vacation give-a-ways, and have some fun in the snow.
Their visit perfectly coincided with the best storm we’ve had this season. In the past few days, the skies dumped about 110cm of fresh snow. Yesterday was the most amazing day we’ve had all season and while I’m still learning how to manage deep powder, I had an absolute blast. Life doesn’t get much better than a sunny powder day in the Andes.
Well, for some, maybe there is. Portillo’s own staff went with Rex and the Vail team to film turns on Garganta, Vizcachas, Caracara and the Traverse. The footage is still being edited, but will be uploaded to our websites shortly.
In the meantime, we’re prepping for another big storm. The Austrian Ski Team is here this week, along with Jaime Bianchini of Peace Pedalers . I’m sure these guys will keep things interesting this week- never a dull moment!
