About Me

I am a Luxury Ski Vacation Travel Advisor specializing in organizing ski travel across major destinations worldwide. I coordinate accommodations, transportation, equipment services, lift access, and detailed itineraries so travelers can experience well-planned and efficient ski vacations. I work with luxury hotels, mountain lodges, and private chalets, and provide at-home equipment fittings and on-site rentals. My expertise covers the United States, Italy, Japan, and South America, with a focus on Colorado.

United States

I specialize in Colorado’s ski resorts, including Aspen Snowmass, Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Steamboat, Copper Mountain, and Telluride. These areas offer diverse terrain, consistent snowfall, and lodging options ranging from slopeside hotels to private chalets. I assist with selecting accommodations, arranging transportation, securing lift tickets, and planning ski school or private instruction. I also work with other U.S. regions such as Utah’s Wasatch Range, Wyoming’s Teton Range, and the Sierra Nevada, advising clients on terrain, seasonal conditions, and logistics.

Europe

Europe offers a wide variety of ski destinations combining alpine terrain with cultural experiences. I organize travel to resorts across the French, Swiss, Austrian, and Italian Alps, including large interconnected networks such as the Three Valleys, Zermatt-Cervinia, St. Anton, and Dolomiti Superski. These regions offer extensive runs, high-altitude skiing, and a mix of luxury hotels and private chalets. I coordinate accommodations, lift passes, transportation between resorts, and guidance on seasonal snow conditions, ensuring travelers can navigate Europe’s mountain systems efficiently.

Japan

Japan is known for consistent powder, especially in Hokkaido. I organize trips to Niseko, Furano, Rusutsu, and Kiroro, as well as Honshu’s Hakuba Valley and Nozawa Onsen. I guide clients on resort selection based on terrain, snow conditions, and travel logistics. Services include accommodations, lift tickets, equipment rentals, and coordination of transfers and lessons.

South America

South America provides skiing during the northern hemisphere summer, primarily in Chile and Argentina. I arrange travel to Valle Nevado, La Parva, and El Colorado in Chile, and Cerro Catedral and Las Leñas in Argentina. I advise on altitude, seasonal snow patterns, terrain, lodging, and equipment services, ensuring efficient access to the mountains.

Across all regions, I handle every logistical detail, including luxury accommodations, private chalets, at-home equipment fittings, lift tickets, transportation, and lessons. My work is designed to provide travelers with accurate information, clear planning, and seamless execution so they can enjoy skiing without logistical concerns.

Awesome Vacation
Reviewed By wills - Austin, TX | Traveled to Italy | Europe
Shanley helped us plan our honeymoon. She was super accommodating throughout the whole process, but I think the most value she provided was with her awesome hotel/restaurant/activity recommendations. We were debating between two locations, and after talking to Shanley and telling her what we were looking for, she nudged us in the right direction and planned an incredible trip for us that we'll never forget.

A truly turnkey experience!
Reviewed By McCall Tomeny - Dallas, TX | Traveled to Anguilla | Anguilla | Caribbean
Shanley planned the most wonderful get away week for us to St. Martin and Anguilla. We gave her just a general sense of what we were looking for, and she turned it into an amazing experience, from the destination and hotels to every thoughtful detail along the way. Everything felt seamless, special, and so easy for us. We’re incredibly grateful and would highly recommend her.

Shanley absolutely nailed what we were looking for
Reviewed By MT - Dallas, TX | Traveled to Anguilla | Caribbean
We came to Shanley just wanting a relaxing vacation, and she delivered exactly that with a trip to St. Martin and Anguilla. The properties and staff at both destinations were incredible, and Cap Juluca in particular was on another level, proof that her recommendation to save it for last was spot on. She also steered us toward a private boat transfer instead of the ferry, which turned out to be a fantastic call. The boat and crew were great, and it set the tone for the rest of the trip. Highly recommend working with her if you want a trip planned by someone who truly listens and delivers exactly what you're looking for.

Beyond memorable!
Reviewed By LVC - TX | Traveled to Venice | Italy | Europe
Our trip was seamless and it was all due to Shanley! Each day brought on a whole new itinerary with things that we never could have experienced on our own without her thoughtful details each step of the way. I won’t be planning a trip without Shanley’s help in the future??
