WINTER
HOLIDAYS
A
blanket of snow transforms the trails, woodlands and valleys, sun-drenched
in summer, into a sparkling white paradise for riding, recreation and sport.
Responding to our clients' requests, we are delighted to introduce a special
programme for those who prefer a wintertime vacation. Here too, there is a
choice of location and activities to suit your mood. Riding horseback through
the snow has a special appeal. You can take a sleigh ride, learn to snowmobile
or test your skiing skills. Then exchange your tales of your daytime adventures
before a heart-warming log fire. For everyone, the sights and sounds of the
West in winter are forever fascinating.
The
following are examples of Winter Holidays available in the USA, call Ranch Rider with
your requirements for Winter Sun Holidays in the USA, Argentina and South Africa.
| USA |
| LONESOME SPUR RANCH - BRIDGER, MONTANA |
| A chance to experience a working ranch and also ski the great Red Lodge area of Montana. Spend 3 days enjoying a real Montana working ranch experience (wrap up well!); the cows still need looking after even in the winter. Follow this by 3 days downhill skiing and other winter activities (including snowmobiling - extra charge). The ranch will provide transport to and from the ski area each day along with a three day lift pass, ski and boots can be rented locally. |
| TRIPLE
CREEK RANCH - DARBY, MONTANA |
| Triple
Creek Ranch is a true luxury hideaway and all the trappings which embrace
a winter wonderland come alive here. You're invited to celebrate the serenity
and solitude of snow, sun and scenery. Choose from such activities as
horseriding (weather permitting), snowshoeing and cross-country skiing
in the Bitterroot National Forest (shoes and skies available). Other exciting
winter activities are available at extra cost: downhill skiing on Lost
Trail Powder Mountain 30 miles away (shuttle available), dog-sledding
and exciting snowmobile treks through trails of unspoiled, natural beauty.
Why not do an all day snowmobiling trip with gourmet lunch and snacks,
then come back for a soak in the heated outdoor Jacuzzi with perhaps a
complimentary drink from the bar before a gourmet dinner with wine. And
to really set the seal on a perfect winter's day, snuggle up in front
of a crackling fire with a warming liqueur - or take a horse-drawn sleigh
ride under Montana's dazzling starlit sky. |
| GOOSEWING
RANCH - JACKSON HOLE, WYOMING |
| Nestled
in the Gros Ventre Mountains rising above Jackson Hole, deep snow and
endless pristine backcountry are the wintertime hallmarks of Goosewing
Ranch. The Gros Ventre Valley is a natural winter habitat for bison, moose,
elk, mountain sheep, eagles and much more. Whilst many prefer to snowmobile,
there is also endless room for exploration via snowshoes, cross country
and telemark skis. A typical week's snowmobiling itinerary takes in a
drive to the trailhead near Grand Teton National Park to board your snowmobile
and take it through an elk feeding ground deep in the backcountry; snowmobiling
the famous powder atop the high plateau of Union Pass - the perfect place
to test your new skills; and a ride along the trail cut by the first mountain
men as they explored the northern Rockies -perhaps the highlight of the
stay. You may even get to snowmobile in the majestic Yellowstone National
Park. You'll have time to develop your snowmobiling skills, at your own
pace, while enjoying the fantastic scenery. Did you ever climb a hill
on the back of a snowmobile and then ski down? One, two, three and four
day snowmobile tours are also offered. |
