Kicking things off in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, Jill began developing her sales career and destination knowledge in the ski industry. Skiing with clients throughout Colorado at top ski resorts and building relationships is how she spent her days in the mountains. From there to Vail Resorts for six years, which allowed her to intimately learn some of her favorite places on Earth. Vail, Beaver Creek, Keystone, Breckenridge and Heavenly Ski Resort in Lake Tahoe were part of her regular circuit, ensuring her clients were happy. Moving over to Aspen, she shifted to hotels into group sales for the iconic Hotel Jerome and the Westin Snowmass, learning the ins and outs of the hotel business. Most recently as Director of Travel Agency sales for Ski.com, she expanded her destination scope further to over 100+ ski resorts around the world and developed strong relationships with resort partners along the way. She is now a Mountain Ski Expert for her very own clients of Jill Beth Travel.

North America
Colorado, Utah, Montana, Nevada, California, Wyoming, and Canada have the best of everything and are easy flights from most major airports! For beginners, resorts such as Steamboat, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone, and Snowmass are perfect; especially for a first trip to the Rockies. Authentic ski towns with a mixture of history, architecture, charm, and style are the colorful towns of Aspen, Telluride, and Crested Butte. If you’re looking for more challenging terrain, Vail, Jackson Hole in Wyoming, and Aspen Mountain should be at the top of your list. Destinations with a little bit of everything such as a wide range of restaurant choices and shopping, beginner to expert terrain, nightlife choices for every age and pace, head to Whistler, BC, Aspen Snowmass, or the Vail and Beaver Creek area.

South America
For anyone who wants to ski during our North American Summer, this is the destination for you! Argentina and Chile offer spectacular conditions, hotels that include all you’ll ever need, and the experience of a lifetime to check off your bucket list. Views for days, top-level service, and ski-in and ski-out accommodations at Portillo or Valle Nevado in Chile. Argentina offers Bariloche and Las Lenas ski destinations for great snow conditions, shopping, snowmobiling, and sight-seeing around these charming towns.

Europe
Distinct, idyllic, and charming villages are waiting for you in the many ski resorts of Europe. Train travel and horse-drawn sleighs are some common ways you’ll get around and the Old-World beauty and culture will captivate you. Families will enjoy skiing of all levels, from beginner to extremely challenging, award-winning ski schools and lots of activities in many of the popular European ski destinations. Lodging choices range from small boutique hotels to 5-star luxury with vibrant apres-ski scenes. An abundance of flights into major airports in Geneva, Zurich, and Milan will get you skiing soon in Europe!

Japan
Snow, snow, snow, and culture! Northern Japan boasts annually 350 – 600 inches of snow making it one of the most sought-after destinations for skiers in the hunt for powder. The ski season in Japan is a bit shorter than ours, with January being the most accumulation and attractive time to visit. Expect to also enjoy a culinary delight of sushi, tempura, and ramen in the more rural towns, and a fusion mix within the resorts to cater to all visitors. English speaking ski guides and resort staff are there to assist. Japan should be on your ski and adventure bucket list!
