Aspen Ski Vacations

28th September

Aspen Mountain has long been known as the playpen
of the rich and famous – and it is. But it is also a
great place to take a family ski vacation. Christmas
in Aspen is especially wonderful! Aspen Mountain
rises above the town of Aspen, with a top elevation
of 11215 feet and a vertical drop of 3269 feet. There
are 76 trails suitable for beginners, intermediates,
and experts, accessible by eight lifts, including
seven chair lifts and one cable car line.

While Aspen has much to offer skiers, as well as
those who enjoy the night life in a ski town, you
should expect lots of crowds and lift lines on the
slopes. Again, this is the playpen of the rich and
famous, and many people choose this ski vacation
spot simply for that reason – as well as for the great
runs and nightlife.

There are numerous places to stay in and around
Aspen, with more than 100 restaurants to choose
from as well. Ski instructions and equipment rental
are abundant in the area, and snowboarders are
welcome.

Alaska Ski Vacations

27th September

Alaska, which has always been a source of awe and
 mystery, has some of the best skiing in the world,
and the Alyeska Resort is one of the finest resorts
in the state. With a top elevation of 2751 feet and a
2501 vertical drop, the area gets an average of 631
inches of snow annually.

Red-helmets-hi-fi-matte-white

Although this is some of the best skiing in the world,
you won’t find the slopes overly crowded, and there
are no long lift lines. There are nine lifts, including
six chair lifts and two surface lifts, and one cable
car line. There are 68 trails for beginners,
intermediates, and experts, with the majority of the
trails designed for intermediate skiers.

Night time skiing is allowed, which makes your ski
experience more adventurous and thrilling. You will
see snow capped mountains, hanging glaciers, and
of course, the famous Northern Lights. This resort is
ranked number nine of the top twenty-five killer ski
trips by Skiing Magazine.

The season begins at the Alyeska Resort in mid
November, and runs through mid April. This area of
Alaska boasts the longest daytime areas in the
United States, with approximately sixteen hours of
daylight each day during April. During December,
however, there are only about seven hours of daylight
– which makes night time skiing necessary if you
are going to get in the time that you want to spend
on the slopes.

The Alyeska Prince Hotel is the place to stay! Here
you will enjoy elegant rooms and fine dining. Nightly
entertainment is available as well. There are other
nightlife spots in the area as well, that are not
associated with the Hotel.

If tubing interests you, then visiting the Glacier
Tubing Park is an absolute must! Featuring two
lanes of terrain and a surface lift, everyone in the
family will enjoy spending time at the tubing park.
The Alyeska Terrain Park is a must for
snowboarding enthusiasts. Other winter activities
that can be enjoyed in and around the Alyeska
Resort include flight seeing, helisking, ocean
cruising tours, dog sledding, ice climbing, back
country skiing, mountaineering, and polar bear
viewing.

At the Alyeska Resort, the ultimate winter vacation
can be experienced. Brave the elements, then return
to the Hotel for some pampering. Get a taste of what
Alaska is really like, and what skiing is meant to be!
There are activities for the entire family to enjoy, and
there are many area sights and attractions to be
enjoyed as well. This really is an awesome winter
family ski vacation!

Family Budget

11th May

“The average family exists only on paper and its average budget is a fiction, invented by
statisticians for the convenience of statisticians.”

Sylvia Porter

Unlike the quote provided above, seemingly reflective of general opinion on family budgets
today, we will attempt to take a much more positive approach to budgeting, as a family
oriented, user-friendly, financial management and planning tool and life-enabler.

However, when reflecting on family budgeting and inquiring as to why not more families are
actually using it, it becomes self-evident that similar skepticism runs rampant and deep in reality
and society, even globally so.

Once you start probing family budgets, expending time and energy researching the subject in-
depth, it becomes quite clear, that most families are caught in a vicious, almost never-ending
cycle of “What comes in must go out.”

Most families might feel that budgeting is a futile effort, unnecessarily burdening them with
thoughts and ways, to go broke methodically and slowly, without the creature comforts and
indulgences of our human modern-day society.

Others might voice that they feel as if they are merely throwing money away, in a never-ending
and dizzying spiral of spend, spend, spend. People are getting deeper and deeper into debt, no
matter how hard they try to get out of it. Questions are then raised : How do we stop these
courses of action? How do we change the thinking around family fiscal discipline?

Put simply, in “How to set up a Family Budget”, we focus in on how to empower families to set
up better, more realistic budgets, stick to them and celebrate their successes (and learn from their
failures!)

Families eventually do have a monthly surplus, see their savings start to grow, consolidate their
debt, set aside discretionary funds and personal allowances, build their wealth and become more

aware of their pro-active involvement and responsibility regarding their lives and finances. This
is when excitement builds and fundamental thought patters as well as spending attitudes are
changed.

Budgeting is seen as an accurate measurement of success when significant behavioral
transformation is taking place on the landscape of the family budget, spending habits and
financial patterns we observe over time!

Outdoor Reception

25th March

Hosting your reception outdoors can be a great deal cheaper and a
lot more fun for you and your guests. When you host your reception
outdoors you have a lot of options as to how you want things to be.
The only downside to doing this is whether or not the weather
conditions will permit it. Because of this your reception and its
success is often at the hands of Mother Nature. Other than that, it can
be the best decision that you could make.
Outdoor receptions give you an endless supply of ideas and freedom
in how your reception will be handled. The best thing is that you can
host an outdoor reception at a hall or beautiful grounds, or you can do
so in your own back yard.
If your own yard permits it, it would be best to do it here because it is
a relaxed atmosphere and you need not worry about many of the
small details that come in when using public grounds (i.e. music).
There are many ways that you can make an outdoor reception easy
to plan, cheaper to pay for, and a great deal of fun. Of course, there
are small formalities that go with it as well.
I have developed a to-do list for you as well to help you to make the
most out of your outdoor reception.
Reception to do List
You have to start with a thorough to do list when planning an outdoor
reception because this will keep your affairs in order. When creating
your list, you have to consider having a contingency plan. The reason
for this is to accommodate bad weather conditions that may prohibit
your reception from taking place at all. Or having your reception
ruined due to a thunderstorm or severe winds.
Here is a sample to do list for you to look at so that you will know all
of the things that need to be considered. The list will include what
needs to be done, and why it should be handled.

To do list should include:
• Renting tent or gazebo and decorating it. Make sure that you
confirm your rental date at least two weeks ahead of time or
sooner if you can.
• Renting tables and chairs. It is cheaper when you set them up
yourself
• Getting regular updates on the weather. Of course, you should
have a contingency plan just in case the weather does not
permit an outdoor party.
• Getting any miscellaneous items such as extension cords etc.
• Hiring a DJ or band and confirming
• Deciding on food items and drink and who will prepare what
• Getting permits that may be required in serving alcohol
• Getting permission from neighbors. You don’t want them
complaining about the noise and the parking situation (invite
them too). Of course this rule applies when you are hosting
your outdoor reception in your backyard.
These are some quick tips for your to do list. Of course, you will also
want to know how you can possibly save as much money as possible
on this event and the tips and ideas are literally endless.
Perhaps the best reason to host an outdoor party is because it will
take care of the smoking problem on its own. When you host an
outdoor reception, there are so many choices that you can make on
what to do and serve your guests.

Planning the Reception

25th March

Great deals can be found when you know how much money you are working with. It really doesn’t matter how small your budget is for the
reception because all budgets can be accommodated. Your reception budget should consist of approximately 30% of your
wedding budget or more. Most wedding receptions are so expensive due to the fact of providing meals, decorations, hall rentals etc.
For the purposes of this guide, I will give two different examples of common receptions and an idea for cutting costs on the food and
drinks as well as give you the best tips for throwing your reception on a budget:

Renting a Hall

If you prefer to rent a hall or space for your reception, you mustconsider many things before making this decision. You will have tothink of the prices for the hall rental, the cost of using their servers(most halls include servers in price and they are not negotiable),decorations, flowers, meals, drinks etc.When you wish to rent a hall for your reception there are some thingsthat the hall will include in your rental that you can’t avoid paying forsuch as: servers, decorations, and wine. However, some halls willgive you the option to pick and choose the extras that you want.Depending on the type of hall that you choose to rent, the costs canvary greatly. For example, if you rent a large hall, you could pay morethan if you rented a legion hall.You might also want to consider that if you are starting with a smallbudget, that renting a hall might not be worth the effort and money, orit may leave you with less options. There are a few tips when renting a hall that could keep a great deal of your costs down. Let’s take a look at them.

1. You should only consider renting a hall if you have invited 50 or
more people to your reception.
2. When renting a hall, you have to decide if you are opting for a cash
bar or an open bar. A good compromise is to purchase a few cases of
beer on your own and host a cash bar for those who want mixed
drinks if you are trying to keep costs down.
3. Rent a hall that you can decorate yourself
4. If you must have servers, rent a hall that includes servers in the
price of the rental or go with a hall that lets you bring your own.
5. Choose a hall that will cater to whatever your needs or budget is.
6. When it comes to the food, you should go with a hall that will allow
you to bring your own food if you would prefer to not pay extra for
catering.
7. Serving vegetable and fruit trays, as well as finger foods like finger
sandwiches will be of great value in accommodating vegetarians
8. Opting for a casual reception will allow you to serve your food
buffet style which will be predominantly cheaper.
9. Opting to tell people to forego giving you a wedding gift and serve
a completely cash bar is a great way to accommodate guests and
recover some of the money for the hall.
10. Opt for non-weekend dates because these are not peak hours for
the hall and the prices may be cheaper
11. You should choose to host your event during the winter for the
best rates
12. Negotiate a special discount by paying cash instead of credit
card. Most reception halls will do this
13. Choose to go with a non-dinner reception offering instead snack
foods and munchables

Hosting a wedding reception at a hall does not have to cost through the nose if you know how to get around the basics, which I have just
mentioned. Most people would like to host their reception at a reception hall because they feel that it is more elegant than hosting it outdoors,
however, this is not always the case. Sometimes, hosting your event outdoors is more fun and it is also much cheaper.
