The beauty of spring in Colorado, is that it is possible to ski, golf, bike and hike in the same day, and enjoy wine from a local vineyard in the evening. "The important to budget travel is to approach ahead. When it happens to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new locations we have never been before, the fact of expense and budgeting is often in the back of our minds. Arranging and consuming our travel budget carefully is a main concern for most families. Minimizing expending and fees, while still savoring your vacation to its fullest, is the key to guaranteed achievements and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning behind economizing money while vacationing is simple: Even if your personal finances is extremely limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also thinking about that while traveling, no matter whether on a price range or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel expenses!..". And, its not too late to plan a Colorado ski vacation without breaking the bank (for inspiration, see the photos in the list).
The key is to head west, says Mistalynn Meyeraan, marketing and public relations coordinator for the Grand Junction Visitor & Convention Bureau in western Colorado. The Visitor & Convention Bureau, working with Powderhorn Mountain Resort, is making it easier than ever to take an affordable Colorado ski vacation this winter or spring with 2013 Ski, Stay & Play packages.
Packages including overnight hotel accommodations and lift tickets start at $76 per person per night. There is also a package with a stay at an RV park for only $68.50 per person per night with lift tickets included. The package even offers guests a discounted rate in golfing and bike rentals in the area.
Powderhorn Mountain Resort is a small, personal Colorado ski resort receiving an average of 250 inches of snow each season. Perched above the valley on the Grand Mesa, the mountain offers 63 trails at beginner, intermediate and advanced/expert levels, a vertical drop of 1,650 feet, three terrain parks and a tubing hill. With a base elevation of 8,200 feet, Powderhorn is just a 40-minute drive from the City of Grand Junction. In 2013, Powderhorn has been receiving ample amounts of powder for snow seekers. Back down in the Grand Valley, at an altitude of 4,586 feet, Grand Junctions moderate weather allows for year-round golf, hiking and biking.
Between now and March 31, travelers can select packages with one of 11 lodging properties. Prices are per person, based on a one-night stay, double occupancy and availability. Included in the price is one adult lift ticket, but does not include taxes. Full details are available on the Grand Junction Visitor & Convention Bureau website, on Facebook or by following @gjcvb on Twitter.

Americas Best Value Inn, $82.00

In Grand Junction, it really is possible to ski in the morning and play golf or bike in the afternoon, says Meyeraan. Travelers who book Ski, Stay and Play packages also will receive exclusive deals at local golf courses and bike rental shops. The packages pair nicely with winery and vineyard visits, too, creating a complete Colorado ski adventure. The Grand Junction area is home to Colorado's wine country, with over 20 wineries.
Participating Golf Courses offering a value package include Lincoln Park Golf Course, The Golf Club at Redlands Mesa, and Tiara Rado Golf Course. Participating Bike Shops include Brown Cycles, Rapid Creek Cycles and Ruby Canyon Cycles. All details can be found on the Grand Junction Visitor & Convention Bureau website (www.visitgrandjunction.com/ski-stay-play).
