Target Customer
• The Fun Seekers / The Family Focused – A25-54, female skew– The experience makes the day. it’s just about being on the mountain; they like to glide, take
their time, enjoy the view and be social. They test their skills, but only if they’re having fun. They love to ski with family and with others.
• The Powder Performers – A25-54– It’s all about the powder. Knee-high is good, but deeper is better. They focus on form, seek
variety and try the skilled runs. It’s about being in the snow.
• The Explorers – A18-34– They’re looking for fresh terrain and a place to leave their mark. They look for the trees, rocks,
powder and seek out vast terrain where they might not see anyone until they reach the lift.
• The Adrenaline Junkies – A18-34, male skew– The test of limits. If they’re not falling, they’re not trying. They are aggressive skiers
and riders and looking for the best place to show off and prove whatthey can do. They’re in the air always.

Real skiers and boarders talk about their mountain experiences. On-air, skiers tell their tales of being on the slopes at the Vail Mountain Collection. Stories could include: feeling in the zone in the middle of a great run, getting an uplifting feeling and that natural high, the sights, sounds and thoughts that go through their heads and the great feeling after a full day and kicking back apres ski.
