Many families go on a western ski vacation every year as their yearly tradition. The memories made during these annual trips are often some of the most enjoyable experiences for your kids, but not always for those responsible for making the travel arrangements.

By now you`ve booked your tickets with the airline and booked a beautiful rental condo close to Park City Mountain Resort in Park City, Utah. Your condo is walking distance to the hill, has a private hot tub, video games for the kids, and a fully equipped kitchen. You know how much the kids will appreciate coming home to delicious snacks and some warm hot chocolate by the fire at the end of each day.

You hope you`ve thought of everything but you expect that a delay on your day of arrival can potentially cause an unfortunate beginning to your family ski trip. You`re supposed to land in Salt Lake City around 1:25PM in the afternoon. All you have to do is collect your luggage and then jump on the shuttle to Park City so you can pick up your keys at the property manager. If everything goes according to plan you will be unloading your bags at your condo sometime around 2:30PM.

After dropping off your luggage, you`ll round up the gang for a quick trip into town on the free shuttle. The first order of business is to feed your tired and hungry crew before stopping at the ski rental shop to get fitted for your rentals. Once you`ve picked up all the equipment, its back to the condo to dump off the skis and kids so you can head back out to do the grocery shopping and liquor store run. Hopefully you`ll be back at home by 6:30PM or 7:00PM.

You may be able to save some time by calling a cab instead of riding the free shuttle or maybe avoid the cabs and shuttles altogether by renting an SUV, but other than on your first day it will most likely stay parked in the garage until the end of the trip.

You`re really good with logistics, but you failed to anticipate that most people are through skiing by around 3:30PM and the busiest times at equipment rental shops, grocery stores, and liquor stores in a ski resort town are from 4:00PM to 8:00PM each day. Locals try not to make trips to the grocery store or liquor store during these hours because they know the wait to check-out can be up to an hour.

Now imagine your hopes for a snow storm come true, as they often do in Utah, and you add eight inches of new snow to your arrival day chores. And we haven`t yet considered what happens if your flight gets in at 4:25PM instead of earlier as planned, your shuttle is late, you take a wrong turn in your rental car, there`s a weather related traffic delay, or the kids are just moody and tired, etc.

It can be a bit overwhelming, but what if your liquor store items and groceries were already delivered to your rental condo when you arrived? You could make a bite to eat for the kids, and then unwind from your busy day of traveling. You wouldn`t need to go to the equipment rental store because you reserved through an equipment delivery service that drops off your equipment and sizes your boots and sets your bindings right in your condo.

Since you`ve planned ahead you`ll be in good shape even if your flight is delayed, you get hit with a Park City snowstorm, or get delayed in traffic. Delivery services in Park City like Ski Butlers www.skibutlers.com and The Grocery Girls www.thegrocerygirls.com will make sure your errands are taken care of no matter what other inconveniences you may experience.

Take a few minutes to now to make certain that your upcoming Park City ski vacation is truly relaxing. Place your order to The Grocery Girls and they will call your condo rental manager to delivery your groceries before you arrive. Your only responsibility now will be answering the door when your ski equipment arrives. Doesn`t this sound like a better way to kick off your ski trip?
