The Colorado Concierge guide

How multi-family ski trips in Colorado are planned

Direct answer. A multi-family ski trip in Colorado is planned as one engagement with one point of contact. The Colorado Concierge secures the homes, purchases the correct lift passes for each mountain, arranges private instructors and guides, books a private chef and dinner reservations, and coordinates airport transfers and in-resort transport. Trips with two or more homes or eight or more guests fall under the Ultra tier, from $3,500, quoted in writing after a consultation. A $500 planning deposit starts the work and is applied to the fee.

What "multi-family" changes

Two or three families travelling together create requirements a single-family trip does not have.

  • Lodging. One large home or two or three homes within walking distance. Availability for homes sleeping twelve or more is limited in Aspen, Vail, and Beaver Creek, and Christmas week and Presidents' Week sell nine to twelve months ahead.
  • Lift passes. Each group member needs the pass that matches the mountain: Epic for Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone, and Crested Butte; Ikon for Aspen Snowmass, Steamboat, Winter Park, Copper, and A-Basin. Mixed ages and ability levels usually mean a mix of full passes, day tickets, and lesson packages.
  • Ski instruction. Children and adults ski at different levels. Private instructors are booked per family or per ability group, not per trip.
  • Dining. A private chef handles group dinners at the home. Restaurant reservations for twelve or more require advance holds, particularly in Aspen.
  • Transport. Arrival times differ. Transfers are coordinated per family from Denver International, Eagle County, or Aspen, with an SUV or sprinter available in resort.

FAQ

Can three families share one booking?

Yes. The engagement is scoped once, with one itinerary, one contact, and one invoice for the planning fee. Supplier costs can be split by family on request.

Do you buy lift passes for the whole group?

Yes, at face value, once the mountains and dates are confirmed. There is no fee for pass arrangement when it is part of a planned trip.

Can each family arrive on a different day?

Yes. Transfers are scheduled per family. The home is prepared and stocked before the first arrival.

Do you book ski school for children?

Yes. Private instructors or resort ski school, depending on age and level, booked in advance for peak weeks.

Is a private chef included in the fee?

No. The chef is a supplier cost billed at the chef's own rate. The planning fee covers sourcing, scheduling, and menu coordination.
