Agents skied, snow boarded and drank hot chocolate by the fire in Tahoe before taking on Universal rides and doing the hula in Hawaii.
Nine agents from Australia and New Zealand joined four hosts for a recipe of four Alamo cars, four ski resorts, awesome spring skiing conditions, countless rides at Universal Studios and one perfect sunset in Honolulu packed in to seven days.
This group took part in the Hawaiian Airlines and Ski Max Cali Snow Tour famil, including Sacramento, North Lake Tahoe, South Lake Tahoe, Mammoth Lakes, Universal Studios and Honolulu.
The trip started with a beautiful spring day exploring the farmer’s markets and the State Capitol Building in Hawaiian Airlines gateway of Sacramento before taking a scenic drive to Lake Tahoe.
The lucky group of agents checking out The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Hollywood.
Fitted out with ski gear, the group enjoyed a welcome dinner at the Hyatt Regency, eating s’mores around the fireplace and watching the sunset over the lake.
The group then spent four days hitting the slopes – at Heavenly in South Lake Tahoe, then Northstar and Squaw Valley in North Lake Tahoe, and then a final day shredding at Mammoth Mountain.
Days on the slopes were capped off with hot tubs overlooking the mountains, hearty local meals, sampling the award winning local beers at Mammoth Mountain Brewery and checking out the local nightlife.
Muscle weary but happy, the caravan of cars hit the road again, cruising through the desert towards Universal Studios Hollywood. The group made the most of their Front of Line passes to experience all the attractions – from the new Despicable Me Minion Mayhem to Transformers the Ride 3-D, and no one could agree on a favourite. They also got a sneak peek at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, the awesome attraction due to open in 2016.
The final day was spent in Honolulu, relaxing, shopping and enjoying a Hawaiian sunset.
