In this episode we meet Maureen Poshman founder of Promo Communications, a PR agency based in Aspen, Colorado that specializes in luxury travel and hospitality. Maureen and her family have lived in Aspen for many years and she shares her extensive knowledge of the area.

Maureen’s agency works with Portillo, a fantastic ski resort in Chile, located a 2 hour drive from Santiago airport. Maureen tells us all about Portillo, which really does sound like a perfect family ski destination. Portillo is the oldest ski resort in South America, celebrating its 75th anniversary this season. Portillo offers an all-inclusive ski week package with lodging, meals, and lift tickets at the iconic yellow hotel surrounded by 15,000 ft peaks.

We talked about planning a family ski trip to Portillo, which would be during our North American summer.. The ski season runs from June/July through late September. Families will love the kids ski free weeks, childcare, hotel activities, and ski-in/ski-out convenience. Rates are around $4,000 per person for a week, that includes hotel, meals and lift tickets.

We loved learning how Maureen balances running her business with an active lifestyle.  Maureen takes advantage of powder days, even if that means working later into the evening. She also works in time for yoga, skinning and family ski days. And for those of us dreaming of a life in Aspen, we learned about workforce housing that aims to make living there feasible for families. It’s clear that real estate prices have soared, and the community strives to remain accessible.
