The catered ski chalet concept is still a new idea in the minds of US Skiers. This option has existed in Europe for years where hundreds of catered chalets are available. Few are aware that it has been offered in the US for 10 years. Moving Mountains Chalets introduced their first chalet in Steamboat in 1998. Starting with one six bedroom home and as the owners and operators, Robin & Heather Craigen have grown their fledgling business to represent 14 private residences that are the best of what is available in Steamboat. You can rent any one of them with a full-service lodging package that will change your mind forever on what a ski vacation should be.
In addition to luxury vacation homes (chalets) that boast ensuite bathrooms, high-speed internet, private hot tubs and everything else you would expect from a 5-star hotel, the Full-service Package includes a private chef and team of staff preparing and serving you fresh cooked meals daily, chauffeur-driven airport pickup and private ski shuttle service (no rental cars needed), as well as acting as your private concierge service.
"Families like to stay in homes, rather than condos and hotels. They like to relax and spend time together and gather as a large group which creates a lot of work for someone when it comes to feeding and organizing everyone for a day on the mountain" said Robin Craigen, co-founder of Moving Mountains Chalets. "We offer them the option that their last run of the day is not to the store to buy food because we take care of the meals. Our staff provides a seamless vacation experience that begins when you land at the Steamboat airport and ends when they return you for your flight home."
If you wonder why Catered Chalets are such a rare find, Moving Mountains will tell you that most Americans are just not aware that the catered package is available to them in a private home. Once they understand the value of the package, where personal time saved becomes personal vacation time, they are hooked.
"The USA is regarded by many studies as a vacation starved nation. The habit of taking just one or two weeks off per year places ever more importance on the success of a family vacation. The time-value of offerings such as the full-service catered package is a no-brainer once you have tried it and our repeat bookings confirm that our guests realize this." said Craigen in answer to this question.
