More Information for the Portillo Camp

Back to Portillo 2019 Camp Invitation
  1. Upon arrival, you will have time for afternoon skiing or for those who want to rest; there are spa services available, a huge hot tub, pool, and the bar/dining room is open.
  2. Dinner: Evening wear is 'Aspen Casual'. Ladies can dress-up as desired. Sport coats are ok for men, but certainly not required. Chino, our apres expert, wears 'nice jeans' and a dress shirt to dinner. Chino says after-ski boots are not necessary as there is no place to walk in them.
  1. Lunch: Tio Bob's, a beautiful ski-in, ski-out, 'reasonable' lunch château is on the mountain, but it is not included in the meal plan.
  2. The hotel has WiFi throughout and there is an internet room with several terminals.
  3. Bring a 220 converter for appliances. The adapter has two round pegs. Rooms in the hotel have hair dryers.
  4. No need for boot dryers as Portillo has a great ski and boot concierge.
  5. This time of year it can be spring skiing or full-on winter. Chino suggests layering options or even two ski outfits.
  6. After dinner, there is music in the bar before music starts in the disco about 11pm.
  7. The swimming pool and hot tub are heated and great after skiing.
  8. Tipping for housekeeping is at your discretion and can be done at the end of our stay.
  9. Any appreciation for the coaches may be collected by John but know that it will all go to his coaches.
  10. Crystal is available to handle all your questions, suggestions, rants (we hope not) and raves.
  11. Read the book "Four Words for Great Skiing" and watch the video "Finding the Love Spot"  -   there will be a test.
