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 “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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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. While Christmas chatter before you’ve even picked out a Halloween costume might seem premature, holiday vacation houses go faster than Santa can disappear up a chimney. Call us today because we can’t think of a better place to celebrate the Christmas and New Years holidays than in Colorado. And, here at Moving Mountains, we are experts in making magical family memories you’ll always want to remember. What better gift could you ask for?
