Mount Snow Ski Vacations

Mount Snow, located in Vermont, is the one of the

largest ski resorts in the Eastern United States.

Featuring 26 lifts and more than 135 trails, the top

elevation at Mount Snow is 3600 feet, with a vertical

drop of 1700 feet. There are 20 chair lifts and six

surface lifts available.

Snowboarders are welcome at Mount Snow, and

there is a ‘kids only’ terrain park as well as a special

tubing park. The Grand Summit Hotel and Crown Club

sits right off the slopes, and guests enjoy a heated

outdoor pool and ski in/ski out accommodations. There

is something to suit everyone at Mount Snow.

Many different winter ski vacation packages are

available. Many of these packages are really great

deals designed to save families money. Child care is

available at Mount Snow, and the youngsters will be

well cared for, and learn to ski as well. The adults

aren’t left out of the learning process either! Both group

and private lessons are available.

Mount Snow is very family oriented. At Mount Snow

a unique ‘back-to-base’ trail system is used that

keeps everyone in your family from getting lost. Kids

under six ski and ride for free. When an adult buys a

3 - 5 day ticket during mid-week, their kid receives a

free ticket for that same time period as well. During

January, the Kids Ski & Learn Free weeks seem to

be the most popular family deals.

Mount Snow features a full service health spa that

you should take full advantage of. A variety of

massages are offered, as well as various skin

treatments. Spa packages are also available, and the

spa caters to couples as well, and wedding parties are

also welcome.  There is also a fully equipped health

club and fitness classes are offered. There is always

something to do at Mount Snow – even if doing

nothing but relaxing is on your agenda!

Winter activities at Mount Snow also include

snowmobiling, snowshoeing, tubing, cross country

skiing, and sleigh rides. There is a ski shop on the

premises and rental equipment is available. There are

several restaurants and bars on the mountain to

choose from as well. Again, Mount Snow is family

oriented. You will find that this is a very safe environment

for your entire family, where you can relax and have fun

– without any worry. Be sure to ask about the family deals

when you call for reservations or information.

Advanced Marketing Announces Government's Plan to Convert to Digital Television

I recently read an article reminding of the government's plan to convert all transmission for television to digital by February 2009. What does this mean for the average consumer and viewer of daily television shows?  This means that if you have the old television set that only receives analog signals; you will not be able to watch your favorite TV shows without making some changes.

 What you can do

There are two basic options that you can take.  One is to buy a box that converts the digital signals to analog.  You can get more information at http://www.dtv.gov/ on how to do this and maybe even get a coupon for a $40 rebate.  The second option is to buy a new Television that is cable of receiving the new digital signals without the box.  This is especially important if you are still using an antenna as opposed to cable or satellite which typically already uses conversion boxes.

You can get more information on this from the articles at Televisions Unlimited. You can also find information on specific digital television models by going to our retail site.
