Discount Lift Tickets - Learn What Colorado Ski Resorts Do Not Want You To Know!

How to get Discount lift tickets for Keystone Colorado, Breckenridge Colorado, Arapahoe Basin Colorado, Loveland Ski Area Colorado, Copper Mountain Colorado, Winter Park Colorado, Vail Colorado, Beaver Creek Colorado

Updated for the 2005-2006 ski season.

Discount Lift Tickets in Colorado- All Colorado ski resorts make it difficult for anyone coming from out of state to get a great deal on lift tickets. Don't expect to get a great deal anywhere if you didn't start looking in late September or early October. As your Keystone Lodging provider, we can help, but WE DO NOT SELL LIFT TICKETS.

The most expensive way to ski is to buy your lift tickets at the ticket window without any coupons. The following information will help you find the best deal around no matter what time of year.

Colorado Ski Season Passes

If you are in Colorado in April, September or October, you can look into buying a season pass for Keystone, Breckenridge, and A-Basin. Both Loveland and Copper Mountain sometimes sell season passes into November. If you plan on skiing 5 or more days, a season pass to one of the areas ski resorts will more than pay for itself and is the cheapest way to go...even though you won't get to use it for the entire season.

:: Keystone :: Breckenridge :: A-Basin :: Vail :: Beaver Creek ::

Season passes are sold along the front range at places like Gart Sports, REI, and Christy Sports. Season passes for Keystone, Breckenridge and A-Basin usually cost around $329. A 2nd option is to pay slightly more and get 10 days at Vail or Beaver Creek added to that same pass. You MUST buy these in person, and you typically have to use it at least once before the holiday season, or it will become invalid for the rest of the year. These passes do have blackout dates during the holidays and during Presidents Day weekend usually, so make sure you read the fine print before purchasing these ski passes. If you're planning an early season trip (Before December 20th) AND a later prime ski season trip (January - April), this is by far the least expensive way to go. Best of all, once you get a pass that you have to buy in person, you can renew it over the web year after year.

:: Arapahoe Basin Only ::

This year, Arapahoe Basin is offering a season pass of their own. For the 2005-2006 ski season, these are only $239. This allows unlimited skiing at Arapahoe Basin, but also allows you to ski at Keystone or Breckenridge for 5 days. One of the 5 days can be used at either Vail or Beaver Creek. This is an awesome deal if you're coming out for a short trip of 5 days or more. Best of all, you can buy these over the phone and just pick them up at the base area of Arapahoe Basin. As always, get in on this deal EARLY. Passes are usually sold in September and October only. Check out the Arapahoe Basin Website for full details.

:: Copper Mountain :: Winter Park :: Mary Jane ::

Copper Mountain is offering season passes for the 2005-2006 ski season for only $279. You can buy these without being present, but you must submit a photo of yourself so they can print your pass. Add a few more dollars and you can ski Winter Park and Mary Jane too. However, Winter Park is a solid 1 hour drive from Summit County. Still, the skiing at Mary Jane is legendary and you won't be disappointed with your day excursion to the snowpack in the Fraser Valley of Colorado.

:: Loveland Ski Area ::

Lesser known by people from out-of state, Loveland is a very inexpensive option. You'll see Loveland Ski area on your way into Summit County on the East Portal of the Eisenhower Tunnel. The closest ski lodging to Loveland is in Keystone....only 15 miles away. Loveland offers season passes for $253. Being an independant ski resort, you can only ski at Loveland. Loveland is one of the highest ski resorts on North America and they are usually the first to open the ski season in North America in October. Check the webste for details. They have an outstanding variety of terrain and there are little or no crowds at any given time.

++++++++++++ Warning ++++++++++++

Do not EVER try to use a 4 pack or season pass that is not yours. There are extremely stiff penalties including large fines and possible jail time if you are caught. The lift operators WILL catch you. A free lift ride is simply not worth the consequences.

++++++++++++ Warning ++++++++++++

Colorado Ski Resort "Four Packs"

Another money-saving tip is to buy what is called a "4 pack" for your ski resort of choice. A "4 pack" is 4 days of skiing for any 1 person. Typically the ski resorts sell these early in the season, but have also been known to sell them again in late March or in April. Buying late in the season is ideal...unknown to many, April is usually the snowiest month in Colorado!

:: Keystone :: Breckenridge ::

For the Keystone and Breckenridge 4 packs, you must buy them in person and they are not transferrable. In previous years they have been transferrable until people started selling them for a profit on eBay. $ packs usually run about $99 and are bought in the same fashion that a Season Pass is bought. The 4 packs do have blackout dates, so read the fine print carefully.

:: Copper Mountain :: Winter Park :: Mary Jane ::

Copper Mountain offers 4 packs for only $69 and ARE transferrable. This deal usually is around for about a week and may have already passed. If so, you're still in luck...both Copper Mountain and Winter Park offer 4 packs for $120, which is still only $30 per day. This offer expires on Dec 9th 2005, so jump on this quickly if you want to get in on the deal! There are usually rules and restrictions as to the dates you can use the 4 pack, so check the fine print carefully.

:: Loveland Ski Area ::

Loveland also offers a 4 pack as well for the 2005-2006 ski season. The 4 packs run only $99 but are only available through November 21st 2005. There are no blackout dates on these 4 packs and can be used anytime during the 2005-2006 ski season at Loveland.

:: Aspen :: Snowmass ::

Okay, so these 2 resorts aren't really all that close to Summit County, but if you want to see what celebrities do during the winter in Colorado...try Aspen or Snowmass for a day. Cheap passes are available, but you have to get them in person. They are available up until November 20th, 2005 at select locations around the Colorado Front Range.

Other ways to get Discount Lift Tickets

Are you a member of the armed forces? Keystone has a special setup with any active duty military, Reservists, National Guard and dependents. Rocky Mountain Blue offers a Freedom Pass for only $129. This pass is good for unlimited skiing at Keystone or Arapahoe Basin. It can be purchased at military bases in colorado including Buckley AFB, Peterson AFB, Schriever AFB, F.E. Warren AFB, Fort Carson and the Air force Academy. You can purchase this anytime during the 2005-2006 ski season and it is good through closing day at Keystone. THIS IS THE BEST LIFT TICKET DEAL IN COLORADO.

Keystone Lift Tickets Sign up for a free Colorado Gem Card. These cards will give you discounts at other ski areas that are further away. The closest resort that accepts this card is Loveland Ski area, which is about 15 miles away right at the Eisenhower Tunnel on the Continental Divide.

Keystone Lift Tickets Know someone with a season pass? Season Pass holders usually can buy a lift ticket for you for a deeply discounted price of $29-$59. The number of times they can do this is limited.

Keystone Lift Tickets Don't forget eBay! Many times people will buy a package deal and not be able to use it. Sometimes it's a 4 pack, sometimes it's someone who has an inside track to the resort and is trying to make some money on the side. Either way, MAKE SURE you check the lift tickets carefully to make sure you know what you're getting. Search around and see what you can find!

Keystone Lift Tickets Buy an Entertainment book for the Denver area. These books are PACKED with ski coupons. We typically buy these books and keep them available for our guests to use. The coupons are for slightly discounted lift tickets. ($5 - $10 off ticket window prices) There are also coupons for ski school.

Keystone Lift Tickets Buy your tickets on the front range in or around Denver. Go to any Safeway or King Soopers grocery stores, or ski and snowboard rental shop. They sell disount lift tickets for most ski areas.

Keystone Lift Tickets As your Keystone Lodging provider, just ask us and we'll do what we can to get you the right information you need or point you in the right direction to save you the most money given the time period of your visit. We typically keep a packet of coupons just for our guests use. When booking, please email or call us with your requests and we will mail coupons to you before you arrive. Coupons are first come first serve. These coupons usually come from Entertainment Books, and wherever else we can find them. We do not sell lift tickets.

BE CAREFUL - Some other lodging providers will entice you with a "package deal" saying that they will give you discounted lift tickets after your reserve your lodging...only to suddenly "run out" of the lift tickets after they have your money.

Monster Energy Drink girls get all the attention when they walk into a party or special event. They walk into a party with all the confidence in the world because they know they are going to have fun and they are making money to party.

The consumers are excited to see the monster energy girls because they know they are about to receive some promotional items and free product.

Monster Energy Drink girls must be seductive and great at alluring in their customers. They get most of their confidence from being around a crowd of people and knowing that these people are treating them like a celebrity.

Can you imagine how much confidence you would have after entering a party and everyone wanted to take pictures of you... well that's how it is for a monster energy drink girl.

I feel bad for all the pretty girls that I see in a bar that are not getting paid to party. Most of the promotions I have done, I get so many pretty girls asking me how they can become a promotional model.

The majority of girls that I have hired knew absolutely nothing about doing promotional work. They were just beautiful girls that approached me during a promotion and asked me how could they become models like my girls.

I would also get a bunch of guys approach me during the promotion begging me to hire their girlfriends or a girl they thought was hot. They wanted to be the guy that was dating or hanging out with a promo girl. The guys were also shocked to find out how much the girls made per hour...

They were so shocked that they asked me if they could be a promo guy.. sorry I do not hire guys.

Promotional modeling is a great way to make extra income doing part time work.

Most beverage promotional models make a couple of thousand a month and even more.

The girls get the opportunity to travel out of the country such as during spring break, they get to go to Cancun and other spring break destinations. a

My girls really have the greatest time when they get to hang out with celebrities during exclusive parties.

Some will tell me that the greatest part of being a beverage promotional model besides the money is the friends they get to meet and work with.

Being a promo girl is exciting and it allows you to build your confidence. What other job can you have that allows you to get paid to party?

What the Netherlands is Famous For

Tulips - this is one of the things that come into mind when we think about the Netherlands. From the end of March till the end of May the Keukenhof flower garden (located near the town of Lisse) gathers visitors for the most fantastic flower show in the world. Flower plantations stretch all over the coast. In spring the whole district is covered with a multicoloured carpet more than 17500 hectares big. Almost half of it is tulips.

First tulip bulbs were brought here from Turkey and Central Asia. Netherlands, with its sandy coastal soil, proved to be ideal for tulip planting, and pretty soon these flowers got extremely popular - one bulb could cost as much as some mansion by the Amsterdam canal. Later the flower market fell into decay, but in the 18th century it was in bloom again. Nowadays the Netherlands is the world's largest flower exporter. There are more than 7,5 billion tulip bulbs gathered in the country every year, and a great amount of them is sold abroad.

The Netherlands is also renowned for its excellent cheese; it's the largest cheese exporter in the world. The most famous cheese sorts are Edam and Gouda, both produced of cow's milk. One of the most famous local cheese markets is found in Alkmaar, opened every Friday morning from April till October. The market still follows the rules of 1672, and the trade is carried out according to the ancient traditions: first the customer chooses sort of the cheese he wants to buy and then the seller and the client clap each others hands (one after another) until they agree upon the price. After the bargaining is over, cheese is brought to the weighing house (Waag).

Clogs. Initially clogs (wooden shoes) were traditional Dutch footwear worn by the common people. Only the richest citizens could afford more expensive and convenient shoes. Still, the Netherlands produce more than 3,7 million clogs a year. Citizens don't wear them any more, but people working in the country sometimes do - they are warmer and drier than simple rubber boots. Former clogs were also a part of traditional clothes by which people could define where a person comes from. Most beautiful clogs are produced in Hindeloopen, Friesland.

Windmills. During the Roman times the Dutch coast was covered with sand drifts and vast swamps. Long time has passed since this place was turned into the wonderful "water country". For years and years people were struggling to drain the territory and much contribution was made by the windmills. Now many of them are found in Dutch villages and cities.

Windmills were invented in the middle of the 16th century to help pump the water up to the higher level. This was a true break-though which helped manage with the disaster. From this point people could causeway the territory around the lake, pump water from it and start cultivating the soil. Sometimes the mills were built in a row, forming a staircase.

The worse the situation with the territory was, the more windmills were built. Many of them were erected south-east of Rotterdam since the district, Albrandswaard, is edged with the Rhine inflows. When these measures were not enough, people started creating reservoirs. One of the most famous Dutch reservoirs is found in Kinderdike. The reservoir is really huge and surrounded with 19 windmills, which makes it a spectacular view.

Tell Me Something Interesting About Yourself - How to Answer This Difficult Interview Question!

Hmm, this is a tricky one because the interviewer wants someone who has something to talk about outside of work.

And this is a perfectly understandable question, too - would you want to work with someone who had nothing to talk about apart from work? Do you have a skill or talent that you can talk about? Perhaps you have an unusual hobby or interest. Or maybe you have achieved something remarkable. What you talk about almost doesn't matter, so long as you can talk about something outside of the workplace. Consider these genuine examples that I've heard:

- A call centre supervisor said that she was taking dance classes and her ambition was to be able to do the splits.
- A management consultant revealed that he used to be an aerobics instructor when he was at university.
- A primary school teacher mentioned that he had a turntable at home and spent occasional weekends DJing at local nightclubs.

Be careful about trying to be funny. Humour is really difficult to judge - especially when you don't know people very well. Innuendoes can go down like a ton of bricks while an ironic statement may get taken at face value.

For example, I once met an interviewer who thought a candidate was being deadly serious when he joked that he was wearing his girlfriend's underwear! So try to think of an interesting fact about yourself rather than answering this question in a flippant fashion.

Good luck with your interview, and be sure to check out my other articles!

Tim has been writing career related articles for a long time now. On his website [http://www.71speakers.info] he tries to inform people about 7.1 speakers systems [http://www.71speakers.info] and why they are overrated.

Best and Worst Times to Travel to Europe

When planning your European trip, check your arrival and departures dates and see if they take into account peak, off-peak and shoulder travel periods.

Peak periods are the times when majority of travelers fly in and out of countries and these periods usually coincide with school holidays, Christmas, Easter and New Year. The country you are flying into will also have peak periods unique to that country, so expect flights and accommodation to be heavily booked and tickets to be more expensive. This peak period generally covers late December to January (because of the Christmas season) and late June to the end of August (summer break). Travel during the Christmas holidays can be difficult as plane ticket prices soar and ski resorts start overcharging. Public transport is also reduced in most areas since only a few trains will leave on Christmas day. The "shoulder period" is in spring and autumn and the low or "off-peak" periods are usually in the remaining months and in the winter.

If you have only a limited time to see Europe, your best bet is to fly in and out during a shoulder period. Prices are almost at their lowest and travel conditions are great because you can avoid the crowds and the overpricing. If you have a lot of time to spare in Europe, try flying in the low season when fares are cheapest so you have more money to spread over your stay. It's always a good idea to start checking airfares 3-4 months before you leave. Airlines are starting to discount in order to reward early bookers and there's a lot time to wait if you think they're too high. The cheapest ticket prices might turn up on the net or at your ticket office at anytime. And while you're at it, make sure you've already reserved your accommodation 6 weeks to 2 months before you leave. It's a good idea to reserve a hotel for your arrival and departure days. The rest can be reserved afterwards. Also, remember to check for travel dangers and updates. Your government and insurance company might draw the line if you visit a certain territory they've warned you about. Be informed about the dangers and uprisings in the country you are visiting and do last-minute updates to check conditions right before you leave.

For most seasoned travelers, the best time to see Europe is from April to June and September to October when the weather is still warm, the holiday crowds have left and accommodation and transport are regularly priced.

In contrast, the single worst time to visit most parts of Europe (especially the western and southern countries) is the month of August. This is when many Europeans leave and take their holidays in nearby countries as well. The cities can be deserted and as a result, accommodation prices shoot up and finding a bed can be very difficult. Buses and trains will often be packed and it can be a struggle to get a seat while you cross countries. Even most tourist shops and sites can be closed because the proprietors have gone on holiday as well! There's little doubt that July and August are the busiest tourist months in Europe (mainly because of Americans on vacation) and it will require a lot of patience and money. Avoid these months as much as you can. If you really must travel in the high season, your best course of action is to stay away from the major cities and choose the off-track towns and villages and indulge in the local culture.

Broadway Shows For Kids - Best Broadway Shows For the Family

As a ticket concierge in New York, I often get asked about the best Broadway Shows for kids. The thrill and experience of a Broadway Show for children is absolutely priceless. An appropriate play can often have a very positive effect for many years to come. Whether it turns your child into an actor, director/producer, or simply just enhances their imagination and creativity, it will definitely be beneficial. It is important, however, to choose an age appropriate play to allow your child to develop a true appreciation of the arts. Following, in no particular order, is a summary of the best Broadway Shows for kids.

Wicked is a Broadway musical based on the best selling book, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire. It is the prequel to the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz and tells the story of what happened before Dorothy landed in Kansas. The main character in the show is Elphaba, a young girl with green skin who grows up to be the Wicked Witch of the West. The musical examines her early life and friendship with Glinda, who is the Good Witch of the North. Wicked has been in production for over five years now and has been dazzling both critics and theatergoers alike. It has been the best selling Broadway Show for several weeks and is an excellent choice for ages 4 and up.

Another great show is Lion King, a classic Broadway Musical for the family that is based on the actual 1994 Disney animated movie. For anyone not familiar with the plot, it tells the story of a young lion named Simba, who is born a prince. His Uncle Scar, now second in line to the throne, plots to kill his brother and Simba's father, King Mufassa, so that he may be king. Simba is led to believe that it is his fault and runs away. The musical examines his life journey and how he returns home to complete the circle of life. Lion King has been in production since 1997 and is one of the longest running shows in Broadway history. Still one of the best selling shows today, Lion King is perfect for ages 6 and up and should continue its success for many years to come.

Two other Disney productions that are great for kids, are Mary Poppins and The Little Mermaid. Mary Poppins is a Broadway musical based on the children's books by P.L. Travers and the 1964 movie. It is about a nanny who files in from the sky to take care of misbehaving kids in a British family. The show debuted in London in 2004 and on Broadway in 2006. It is consistently one of the top sellers and is appropriate for ages 6 and up. The Little Mermaid is a Broadway musical based on the actual 1989 Disney animated movie, which tells the story of Ariel, a mermaid who dreams of leaving the sea for a life on land. The show debuted on Broadway in 2007 and has been a hit since. It also is appropriate for ages 6 and up.

The last, but definitely not least Broadway show recommended for kids, would be Billy Elliot, a musical based on the 2000 movie in which a young boy gives up boxing to pursue his love of ballet dancing. Billy Elliot won 10 Tony Awards in 2009, including Best Musical. It is appropriate for ages 9 and up, but use discretion as there is a good amount of profanity in the show.

In summary, a Broadway show is something that every youngster deserves to experience. When making your selections, consider your child's interests, the length of the performance, and whether a matinee may be more appropriate. Lastly, make a big deal out of it, arrive early, and enjoy the show with your family.
