Rocky Mountain Ski Resorts to Experience
There are dozens of ski resorts throughout the Rocky Mountains. Many of them are small such as Beaver Mountain Ski Resort just a few miles from my home. But, there are others that warrant at least one visit in a lifetime. Some of these resorts may offer star gazing, while others showcase the magnificent beauty of the Rocky Mountains. Whichever the case, here are my picks for the top resorts. (These are not listed in any particular order.)
Park City Mountain Resort: Park City, Utah
One of the sleepy town ski resorts that transformed to a mega resort in my lifetime. Growing up, the mountain wasn't crowded and it wasn't overly expensive. There was a mountain top lodge with views that never stopped and runs with moguls that would swallow the timid. Later on, Jupiter Bowl was opened (when weather permitted) and had some runs that would begin an adrenalin rush that would last for the next week. After all of these years, it is still one of my favorite resorts for the variety. From some of the most difficult to pleasant runs for the beginner, Park City Mountain Resort offers skiing for all abilities.
Other reasons that you may want to visit Park City Mountain Resort is for the Sundance Film Festival held every January. If you go during this time, be prepared for crowded restaurants, crowded runs and non-existent hotel rooms. The star gazing may be a premium during this time, but so are the people. After the crowd has left, take a stroll down Main Street for some great restaurants, gift shops and an architectural glimpse of the old mining towns of the west.
Sun Valley Ski Resort, Ketchum, Idaho
In the middle of nowhere and that is why people love it. The rich and famous fly into the Hailey, Idaho airport on their private jets (and they are lined up), or people like me can drive in from Boise, Idaho (3 hours), or Salt Lake City, Utah (about 5 hours). There are regional flights from both Boise and Salt Lake City if you would rather fly into Hailey.
Sun Valley has a rich history of the resort life. It did begin as a sleepy resort town with a luxurious hotel, huge log lodges at the base of the mountain and on the summit. Once you enter one of these lodges, it is almost impossible to want to return outside to the cold. With small hotels, large condominium developments and cabins that rival the ski lodges, there is something for everyone. In the evenings, there are hundreds of restaurants, movie theaters and bars to keep people busy. The town fathers have managed to keep a feeling of openness with most of the area. But there is no mistaking that there is a ton of development hidden behind those pines.
Vail, Colorado
Can you picture a camera focused on a single skier in the middle of a mogul run with nothing but white surrounding them? Now, the camera begins to zoom out with the picture getting wider and wider. Another second and the skier is just a spec on a field of white. With this picture in mind, you may begin to feel the immensity of some of the bowls of Vail. This is a place that I only dreamt of and now I dream of returning.
With a narrow valley that includes an interstate (I-70) and the town of Vail, everything is at the base of the mountain. The resort area seems to go on forever with the feel of small villages every so often. Hidden in these villages are restaurants, hotels, condominiums, ski schools, rental offices and the essence of Vail.
Back to the picture of the lone skier in the middle of the mogul field. Sitting at the top of the mountain, the sun was shining on me and my two friends with me. There wasn't just one of these vast fields of moguls, but three. Each was as large as the next. It was pure heaven for a mogul nut. However, beyond was something that everyone should experience at least once ... the view across the top of the Rocky Mountains. The heavens touch to the tops of the mountains and you realize the majesty of the mountains.

Fighter Jet Trainers Sport Planes
You want a fighter jet as your personal aircraft; do not deny it. You want to travel faster than the speed of sound and play Top Gun in the sky. Well, it may be possible soon for you to do this, if you have the cash of course. Having studied the possibilities and options for a Supersonic Jet Trainer for fighter aircraft, one might notice that there have been lots of recent media discussions and many solutions at this years Paris Airshow. One such aircraft is the Mako trainer by Mercedes Benz. Top speed 1050 mph. Many years back we used the T-38 an F-5 Tiger with two seats.
These units are needed because before you put someone in an F-22 Fighter, which costs 100 million dollars, they better be able to fly the damn thing and fly it well. The Mako could also be a fighter if needed for small countries to be their Air Force. It can use either the EJ200 by Eurojet or an F414 by GE or even Snecma M88 (a company out of France trying to make itself popular in aerospace circles for lightweight high out put engines).
They see this aircraft as an intro to the F-16 or F-22. Many third world countries go to Arizona and use old vintage A-4s for training or train in the desert in CA. This aircraft is long like the T-38 about 45 feet. Aviation Week had some interesting things to say about this project.
However many companies are competing for these aircraft for trainers including the Koreans T-50, which we have discussed before and the price tag is good and they are readily available now while the Mako is about early 2003 bound and delivered in 2005. The US is now taking delivery of Raytheon's T-6A Texan 2 has the security of U.S. military procurement.
Now as a matter of fact I talked to a training pilot in San Antonio who said they were getting their first ones in last June. Many Aerospace consultants in Europe believe this aircraft may take the lead around the world as the trainer of place. Many countries still are not exactly feeling good about buying the Korean T-50s. In any case what a wonderful fun and cool aircraft to have as a sport plane. You know you want one. Think about it.

Tips for a Better Hotel Stay
Every day I encounter people either coming from or going to the airport. Some are experienced travelers; some are terrified at the 'big' airport they have landed at. All have one of two goals in mind - get to the hotel as quickly as possible or get to the plane as easily as possible. Here are just a few thoughts to help you achieve your goal.
1). ALWAYS keep a print-out of your reservation handy. At most airports in the U.S. there are multiple franchises, sometimes distinguished by innocuous words like Days Inn West or Comfort Inn South. Knowing the address of where you are going helps to get the right shuttles, directions for cabs and even the hotel you are attempting to get to.
2). If you do not have a room reservation and are calling hotels from the airport 'hotel' board, do not call five hotels and have them send out a shuttle when you know you won't be staying with them. This often results in shuttles dead-heading home without a passenger and makes their real guests wait longer for the next shuttle. You may someday be on the receiving end of this because some yahoo called for your shuttle 15 minutes before you and now it has already left the airport.
3). Do your homework when booking a hotel if you require certain features like restaurants or grocery/drugstores nearby (and open late if necessary), a fitness center, continental breakfast, business center, public transportation, etc. This you can sometimes discover by reading reviews. Reviews may also tell you if the area is safe enough to walk in after dark
4). Do a walk through of your room when you depart. This will uncover those shampoos left in the shower, medicines in a drawer, shoes or DVD's or flash drives left under a bed and clothes hanging behind the bathroom door. ALWAYS check electrical outlets for phone, camera or battery chargers left plugged in.
5). Do not assume you can miss your scheduled shuttle BACK to the airport and just 'catch the next one' or get an earlier one. Most are on reservation status and may not have room on the next one, meaning you either have to take a cab or perhaps wait an hour or more for a ride.
These are just a few common sense suggestions but are often forgotten about in the hustle and bustle of making reservations, negotiating airport layovers and transfers from airport to hotel and back. They can save you aggravation, time, money and even potential lost business when you discover you forgot your business notes, phone charger or PDA in the hotel room.
