8 ways to make your Christmas more magical

Dreaming of a White Christmas? You’re all but guaranteed one in Colorado’s ski resorts. The holiday season and the Colorado Rocky Mountains go together like hot chocolate and peppermint. Our snow globe state shines under the twinkly lights. So, when you’re staying at one of Moving Mountains luxury mountain homes in Vail, Beaver Creek, Steamboat or Breckenridge, everything is merrier and brighter!

From sleigh rides to ice skating, Christmas trees to family feasts, we’ll move mountains to make sure your holiday is extra special this year. No “Merry Stressmas" on our watch!


The Moving Mountains guide to making christmas in a colorado ski town one you'll always remember

1. "HO HO HO WE ARE SANTA’S ELVES!...”

The Moving Mountains “elves” can help take the more stressful items off your list. Here are just a few of the things we can handle for you before and during your holiday vacation:

  • We’ll receive your packages and parcels and make sure they are stored and ready for you upon arrival.

  • We’ll stock your vacation rental with groceries, wine and even gingerbread house supplies.

  • Need those last few stocking stuffers? Running out of wrapping paper? The Moving Mountains on-call shuttle available in Breckenridge, Steamboat and Vail can get you into the village faster than Santa’s sleigh OR Amazon Prime. No driving around for a parking space or crowded shopping malls to contend with.


2. “O' CHRISTMAS TREE, O' CHRISTMAS TREE...”

Yes, you can have a Christmas tree in your home away from home. And it comes without tinsel tangles, getting sticky with sap, or having to locate the one burned-out bulb in the Christmas light strand. We’ll arrange for a fully decorated tree to be ready and waiting for you upon arrival. Just pour yourself a glass of eggnog and enjoy a beautifully decorated evergreen in your luxurious ski chalet.



3. “THE STOCKINGS ARE ALL HUNG BY THE CHIMNEY WITH CARE...”

Hang up the stockings AND your apron. Give yourself a vacation from cooking (and especially the cleaning up!) so you can fully enjoy quality time with the people you love. We’ll arrange for a personal chef who can roast much more than chestnuts! They can prepare your Christmas Eve feast or Christmas morning treats.


4. “DASHING THROUGH THE SNOW...”

There is no shortage of ways to dash through the snow in Steamboat, Vail, Beaver Creek, or Breckenridge, but a Christmas week favorite is a horse-drawn sleigh ride. We’ll make the arrangements; you bring the Christmas carols. Or for the more adventurous in the group, there’s snowmobiling through sparkling snow on a bluebird sky day!


5. "LATER DUDES! LET ‘ER RIP, HANG TEN...!

Grab some sleds and the family and make some Christmas memories playing in the snow! Our mountain towns have everything from gentle sledding hills for the littles in your group to exhilarating tubing hills that will have even the adults screeching in delight as they scream down the mountain.


6. “THE COLD NEVER BOTHERED ME ANYWAY...”

Strap on your skates and step out on the ice for a magical experience. Gliding across the rink with snowflakes softly falling and twinkling lights surrounding you captures the beauty of the season. Breckenridge, Steamboat, Vail and Beaver Creek all have outdoor ice rinks that are the centerpieces of their ski villages.


7. “DON’T LET GRANDMA GET RUN OVER BY A REINDEER...”

Keeping Grandma off the ski slopes doesn’t mean she can’t join you up on the mountain. Any of the non-skiers in your family can hop on the gondola for a scenic ride to the top and meet everyone for a hot chocolate break. Or there are plenty of other activities from shopping to spas to snowshoeing and cross-country skiing that will keep everyone active and happy!


8. “MAYBE CHRISTMAS DOESN’T COME FROM A STORE...”

The presents are all unwrapped, so jump out of those matching pajamas and into your ski clothes. A few runs together down the mountain on Christmas morning are memories your family will be talking about all winter long.


So, ’tis the season to let Moving Mountains help you plan the perfect holiday.
