WHY MOUNTAIN MEETINGS? Before answering this question, one first must ask, “Why do people gather?” Is it to inspire? To recharge? To collaborate and connect? To motivate or celebrate? To drive growth? The answer—of course—is all of the above. So how does a mountain meeting help you succeed in achieving these objectives? INSPIRATION AT EVERY TURN Blue skies. Sweeping vistas. Majestic natural landscapes. Destinations like the great Colorado Rocky Mountains, stunning Lake Tahoe and picturesque Park City redefine inspiration to offer visitors transformative experiences. AT ONE WITH NATURE Nothing recharges the body, mind and spirit like time spent in the great outdoors. Committed to preserving the environment, our resorts offer a unique chance to comfortably commune with nature. CONVENIENCE AND CONNECTIVITY Whatever your metrics for success, you would not be gathering if it were not to facilitate collaboration and foster meaningful connections among your attendees. Mountain destinations make that easy. Lodging, meeting facilities, dining and activities are all within a short walking distance, and energizing options for teambuilding offer unique ways to bring people together. EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME When it’s time to motivate a team, or celebrate their success, mountain destinations offer the chance to put a checkmark on one’s bucket list. At the same time, world-class lodging, award-winning dining and plentiful activities guarantee you’ll give your attendees an experience they will never forget. GREATER THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS At the end of the day, a meeting should ultimately drive growth. A mountain meeting equals success—for you, for your attendees and for your business— however you define it.
