Skier’s Edge Lodge Now to be Owned and Managed by Global Connections
OVERLAND PARK, KS – January 16, 2015 – Global Connections, Inc. (GCI), the highly respected developer, travel club fulfillment and service provider, has purchased Skier’s Edge Lodge (Breckenridge CO) to become its fifth resort in a growing portfolio of wholly owned resort properties.
Skier’s Edge Lodge is located 5.5 miles south of Breckenridge at the base of Mount Quandary and within an hour of eight ski resort areas: Breckenridge, Keystone, A-Basin, Copper Mountain, Loveland, Ski Cooper, Vail and Beaver Creek. The Continental Divide is also located less than three miles away.
With three spacious room sizes to accommodate everyone from couples to extended families, the 27 unit Lodge (13 studios, 12 one bedroom and 2 two bedrooms) is one of the only facilities in Breckenridge with a heated swimming pool as well as a ten person hot tub. In addition to the comfortable accommodations and quiet yet central location, the cozy ski lodge’s most popular amenity is the gigantic stone fireplace in the center of the lobby. Skiers love to warm up by the historic center piece and share tales with each other after a day in the snow.
GCI opened its doors in 1996, fulfilling its travel club memberships by providing affordable vacations and other benefits and services to families across the country. Its resorts are winners of numerous Trip Advisor Awards and continually receive accolades from its members and resort guests. In addition to its own resorts, the growing organization owns and leases multiple resort condominium units throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean.
Its mission, to give families the opportunity to take affordable vacations is fulfilled by GCI’s continuing development and property acquisition, along with superior services as well as a full service travel agency with cruises, tours, vacation packages, and a concierge program.
According to Tom Lyons, CEO and President “Global Connections listens to our members and were made aware of the need for more ski inventory to augment our extensive travel opportunities. Skier’s Edge Lodge is a family resort, right in the heart of some of the best skiing in Colorado and perfect for families looking for a convenient, affordable location in the Rockies.”
