The 32nd annual Food & Wine Classic in Aspen was perfectly timed with idyllic summer weather over the weekend of June 20 - 22, 2014. Dancing Bear Aspen celebrated with three nights of festivities at Aspen's premier Private Residence Club, overlooking Wagner Park.

On Thursday, guests enjoyed A Summer Soirée, featuring a cheese selection curated by James Beard-award winner Laura Werlin, appetizers by 7X Beef, Avalanche Cheese Company and the Caribou Club. Wineries poured their reserves and special selections including John Anthony Vineyards, Wren Hop, Skipstone, Failla Wines, Landmark Vineyards, Justin Wine, Chalk Hill Estate, Armida and Castello di Casole with sparkling and still waters from Voss.

On Friday, The Texas Legends & Wildcatters Party took place in the afternoon sun with Chef Kevin Williamson of Ranch 616, writer Greg Haynes Johnson and event planner Autumn Rich & Co. as the hosts. Special guests included 2014 Food & Wine Best New Chef Matt McCallister, Katherine Clapner of Dude, Sweet Chocolate, Tito's Vodka, Roots Run Deep Winery, Cocktail Whisperer Michael Martensen of Knife Bar in Dallas, Chef Kyle McClelland and "Tipsy Texan" author David Alan.

Saturday night's late night gathering with Casa Dragones showcasing their new Blanco tequila complemented by an oyster bar, appetizers from the Caribou Club and beats by DJ Rawdon. We look forward to the next Food & Wine Classic, set for June 19 - 21, 2015.

You know and love its pristine slopes. But Vail is so much more than skiing. That means there's much more to your Vail private residence club than cold-weather lodging, too. Not widely known (so don't tell!), is the trove of adventure the wispy, wildflower-dotted valley has to offer. Here are five stellar reasons to zoom over to your Vail residence club...in summer.

Battle Mountain Kids Camp

When the rabble-rousers are ready for fun, enroll the kids in Battle Mountain Kids Camp. Half- and full-day programs get Hikers (ages 7-10) and Mountaineers (ages 11-12) cooking, crafting, playing games and exploring.

Jazzy Nights

What began in 1995 as a one-weekend lineup of jazz greats and expanded into a summer-long festival, Vail Jazz Fest 12 riffs off on June 22, with free Sunday concerts at Vail's Farmers' Market, hands-on Jammin' Jazz Kids workshops Mondays in July and Thursday open-air concerts at Vail Square. These musical notes are just the prelude to the grand finale, though: An all-out Labor Day jazz party, spotlighting 40 world-renowned jazz talents. Tickets go fast, so cherry-pick your concerts at VailJazz.org.

Family Fun Zone

Atop the Lionshead Gondola, at Adventure Ridge, get the whole family's adrenaline pumping. Brand new this year? The zipline for kids ($12) alongside one for Mom and Dad ($25) at 10,000 feet. Weeee! When your heart rate rebounds, move along to ropes courses, climbing walls and a trampoline to tucker out the youngsters.

Breeze Up, Cycle Down

Gondolas! In summer! Take a scenic ride up the mountain--and get a haul pass for your mountain bike--either at Eagle Bahn in Lionshead or Gondola One at Vail Village. Enjoy miles of biking trails, from easy breezy green to double black diamond (all-day gondola lift with bike haul: $12 , kids 7 and under; $34, adults). Time it to hit the Friday Afternoon Club (starting June 27, 5 to 8 p.m.) atop Eagle Bahn, for carefree lawn games and live bluegrass.

Calling All Adventurists

Outdoor lovers get their groove back in the Vail Valley in summer. Ease in with a Vail Mountain guided hiking tour ($20) Wednesday through Saturday (10:30 a.m. for 3 hours, or 2:30 p.m. for 2 hours); then rev up, taking in sweeping Rocky Mountain views on saddled horseback ($69). Take it up the final notch with whitewater rafting. The village has a Whitewater Park or you can book river trips, Class I to V on the Arkansas, Colorado and Eagle rivers.

At the turn of a new century, in 1999, David Burden had a vision — a guiding idea that fractional ownership could be a high-end experience, a way of creating luxurious spaces for Owners who wanted to live in the world's most breathtaking locations. And so, he created Timbers Resorts. Now, 15 years since David Burden, the founder and CEO of our company, began this journey, he's created a collection comprising 13 properties, and growing, spanning sites from Colorado to Tuscany and beyond. As part of celebrating those 15 years, let's pause to note 15 key achievements — a collection of milestone moments and ongoing commitments that represent important parts of our company … and his vision.

1. Growing from a single property, The Timbers Club in Snowmass, Timbers Resorts has expanded to a dynamic portfolio of 13 sought-after locations. View the whole list, here.
2. Our staff has grown and evolved into a team of which we are deeply proud. Have a look at our roster, the people that continue to make Timbers Resorts what it is, today.
3. Forging partnerships with leaders in the travel world, we have built relationships with what we think of as purveyors in the art of living well. See their profiles, here.
4. Timbers Resorts has developed an array of special events and trips for our Owners. From cycling in the Rockies to wine festival receptions in Aspen, New York City, and Miami, the offerings continue to enrich and entertain.
5. Focusing on family, we've built the Tykes' programs and Tykes' rooms, ensuring that our youngest set is always encouraged to view Timbers Resorts as a special place to call home.
6. Maintaining that personal growth is part of the Timbers Resorts experience, programming at our properties includes offerings such as language lessons in Italy and golf clinics in Sonoma.
7. Timbers Resorts has earned recognition within travel and other industries. Accolades include the Condé Naste Traveler 2013 Readers' Choice Award. For a full list of our awards, see our Accolades page.
8. The Timbers Resorts Corporate Giving Program continues to support charities, always with children in mind.
9. The opening of Castello di Casole, in 2012, re-emphasized Timbers Resorts' commitment to not only luxury, but also to historically sound restoration and respect for the cultural past at our locations.
10. Timbers Resorts expanded not only into Europe, but also Polynesia, in 2014, as we announced our representation of The Residences at Kapalua Bay, on the northwest shores of Maui.
11. Fifteen years in, we mark our ever-growing commitment to responsible, sustainable cuisine in our on-site restaurants. Chefs such as Scott Pikey, at Mayacama, continue to bring exquisite locally sourced ingredients to every meal.
12. The incorporation of wine culture into our understanding of luxury has been key. Partnering with local wineries and vintners, Timbers Resorts has embraced the experience of learning about and loving fine wines.
13. Our focus on the arts in our properties' communities remains unabated. The 5Point Film festival, in Carbondale, for example, has been a Timbers Resorts partner for seven years running.
14. There is nothing quite like the waters around St. Thomas, and Timbers Resorts began last year by making sure Owners' experiences of it remained front and center — expanding our water sports program for The Preserve at Botany Bay.
15. We have emerged as a luxury residence club that enjoys a diverse and fascinating family of Owners and guests. If there's a bottom line to the success of the past 15 years, it's been getting to know each and every one of you! Thank you for everything you bring to your homes, and to ours.

A decade and half along, Timbers Resorts is still growing. And so, here's to the future, and to the vision that started it all.

Getting to where you're going is the whole point of a vacation, and one of the hard parts between here and there can be the packing.

Timbers Resorts' luxury residence club Owners travel the globe. One might be headed for the slopes or hiking trails of One Steamboat Place, The Sebastian -Vail or Dancing Bear Aspen or Wine Country at The Orchard at The Carneros Inn. Another might be bound for the sun-drenched hills of Tuscany at Castello di Casole or the cool, green expanse of Mayacama in Sonoma.

No matter what the destination, a smartly packed set of luggage is essential. Let's look at how to get you there with everything you'll need for a vacation free of complications. Here are tips on what to remember, as you travel door to door.

The Warm-Weather Packer

If you know the bright, dry days of Arizona await you at The Rocks Luxury Residence Club, or you're headed beachward for the white sands of The Preserve at Botany Bay, pay attention that your luggage includes lightweight, breezy items. Think about the following.

— Linens, Linens, Linens: Nothing says a lazy afternoon or early evening stroll like your favorite linen slacks and a soft, flowing shirt — classy tucked in or left out. While evening wear may make sense for that special dinner (so don't leave behind all your jackets and shoes) pack eminently interchangeable ensembles that emphasis linen and other temperature-friendly weaves.

— Water and Sun: It might be the rolling waves where the Atlantic meets the Caribbean in St. Thomas, it might be the desert of the Sonoran in Arizona, but you're going to need some swimwear. It probably goes without saying, but don't forget some (fashionable) sunglasses, a tube of sunscreen, and a straw-style hat to keep some shade.

— Power Options: Wherever there's a stretch of perfect sand and sun, there will also often be a lot of distance between you and the nearest outlet. Bring an extra cell phone battery, if you know you'll want to stay in touch while having fun. 

Packing for Cool Days and Nights

For autumn in the mountains, or the Sonoma hills, layers are the secret to cooler destinations when you pack.

— Sweaters and Shells: Emphasize sweaters in your baggage, and don't skimp on breakers and other shells that can be added to your basic set of clothes. Places like Sonoma are gorgeous but can be unpredictable. Add a jacket and a raincoat.

— Extra Footwear: Remember that with the cooler climes can come a bit of rain, and post-rain ground stays wet longer when it's under less direct and constant sun. Be sure to bring some extra footwear and pairs of socks, and bring a backpack, bag, or shoe-sack to tote dry footwear along.

Snowbound Luggage Tips

What you pack for pristine slopes and snowy trails can make the difference between immersion in the elements and annoyance at the creeping cold.

— Explore Rental Snowgear: The fact is, puffy shells and the accoutrements of skiing can lead to airport hassles and a lot of lugging gear around by hand. Talk to a Timbers Resorts concierge about rental options, and maybe concentrate on the basics for what you do away from the trails and runs, both day and night.

— Thermal Time: A bit of thermal under-layer goes a long way toward locking in body heat. When you're warm enough your days will stretch before you.

— Skincare and Sun: Don't forget about your skin. Colder climes can lead to dryness, so pack some serious moisturizer and lip balm. Sunglasses, too. It's easy to forget that a wintery excursion often means hours atop a reflective white expanse. Protect your eyes.

Revival of the mind and spirit, reinvigoration of the body and soul. These are the goals when it comes to providing Owners and guests with the best at Timbers Resorts. With a little forethought and wise planning, your luggage will front-load that effort for (relaxing!) success. Have a packing tip that we missed?

It's been called a game-changer for Denver. At a price tag of nearly $500 million, the renovation of Union Station in Colorado's capital not only returns a sense of history and style to an important railway center, it creates a new hub for Denver's lovers of culture and the past.

Owners and guests at Timbers Resorts' five Colorado properties certainly appreciate both of those elements. And so, whether you're skiing at Dancing Bear and The Sebastian - Vail, or hiking from The Timbers Club in Snowmass — or casting a line in the waters around Timbers Bachelor Gulch and One Steamboat Place — this is the perfect moment to connect with a historic structure that is now rejoining a family of American "Union" train terminals.

Witness the rebirth of Union Station as it reopens to architectural and popular accolades. Let's look at the story of the grand place, noting some highlights from its past and present.

• Union Station united what had been Denver's four train depots, opening as a single structure in 1881.

• The station burned in 1894, was rebuilt, and was then largely demolished and rebuilt again from 1912–14. This reconstruction introduced the French influence of the Beaux-Arts architectural style to the site.

• The current renovation began in 2011, with the station slated for a July 2014 historic reopening celebration.

• Once a year, the Cheyenne Frontier Days train runs by steam engine between Union Station and Cheyenne, Wyoming, bringing passengers to and from the Frontier Days Rodeo.

• The new Union Station will be crowned by a 112-room hotel, and its interior will feature nearly one dozen restaurants and shops.

• The main hall has been designed for event-level acoustics — intended to be a kind of "urban living room" — complete with sound system.

This is the year to see an old, majestic site get a new lease on a long and well-deserved life. Next time you're passing through Denver, see what Union Station has become.

Every year, on the cusp of summer, we set aside two days to celebrate the people who made us: Mom and Dad. And every year, at Timbers Resorts, many of our Owners and guests find fresh ways to renew their appreciation of just those folks by celebrating at our luxury fractional homes.

It's Mother's Day and Father's Day, this month and next. While you spend your weekends with family, let's look back at where the holidays go their start, and at how you can celebrate, here, on a pair of special Sundays.

Quick History: How Moms and Dads Got Their Days

The holidays we share as Mother's and Father's Day have origins, in some cases spanning centuries.

• Mother's Day: From early Greek and Roman history, when celebrants held festivals connected to mother goddesses, all the way to 1868, when Ann Reeves Jarvis started a day honoring mothers that brought former Union and former Confederate moms together, precursors for Mother's Day abound. The key moment was in 1905, when Jarvis' daughter started the first Mother's Day as we know it … to recognize the sacrifices that mothers make for their kids.

• Father's Day: It was in the state of Washington, in 1909, that Sonora Smart Dodd first lobbied for a Mother's Day equivalent. She wanted to honor her father, who raised her and her five siblings on his own. She got the holiday passed in Washington, DC., in 1910. In 1972, the U.S. government made it an official day throughout the whole country.

Celebrating with Timbers Resorts

At Timbers Resorts, mothers and fathers are equally special, and both represent a reason to celebrate. If you're looking for some ideas this May 11 and June 15, check out these options, touching on just a few of our properties.

• Brunch at The Sebastian. Step into the mountain-inspired culinary world that is the Leonora bistro, starting your special day with brunch. You could even set aside the private dining room for a larger family event.

• Spa treatments at Castello di Casole. Why not make the day about a chance to rejuvenate? From classic massages to a pedicure accompanied by a glass of wine, moms or dads are certain to leave Essere with a fresh perspective on their day.

• Picnic at One Steamboat Place. If you're thinking about a bit of al fresco dining, have The Truffle Pig's culinary experts craft the perfect picnic basket for your Mother's or Father's Day spread.

• Private outing at The Preserve at Botany Bay. Maybe it's a day of sailing, paddle boarding or snorkeling. The team on property can set up a private day for mom and dad to remember.

However you spend Mother's Day and Father's Day, we invite you to spend it with us. Play, relax … and wine and dine the important people who got you here in the first place. Timbers Resorts is ready to help make your holiday special for the whole family.

As summer travel season approaches, the pause in school and work commitments will send many travelers to Timbers Resorts' private residence clubs around the globe. While real estate fractional ownership is fantastic upon arrival, the shifting TSA rules combined with family travel can make a journey challenging at times. To help get you to your destination resort more efficiently, please consider the following travel tips to help your airport experience go more smoothly:

• Take advantage of TSA PreCheck: The TSA PreCheck program is designed to allow low risk travelers a quicker screening process for domestic and international travel. You can apply for TSA PreCheck here. There is an $85 fee to apply, and fingerprinting and ID check is required.
• Look into Global Entry: For frequent international travelers, the CBP's Global Entry program can make a huge difference upon your return to the US. There is a $100 application fee, and both an interview and biometric information are required prior to approval. You can apply for the program here. Most U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents are eligible - see here for the current guideline.
• See if Clear is available at your airport: For $179 per year, travelers can apply for and purchase a Clear Card for use at select US airports. Current locations include Orlando, Denver, Houston, Dallas, San Jose, and San Francisco. A family Clear Card can be purchased for an additional $50. ID verification and fingerprinting are required prior to use.
• Edit your wardrobe: One easy way to save time is to reduce the security line "wardrobe shuffle" before you leave home. Slip-on shoes are easier to remove than those with laces. Avoid wearing belts with metal buckles if at all possible. And place jackets and sweaters in your carry-on before entering the security line.
• Throw jewelry, watches, keys, and phones in your carry on: Taking a second to move these items over to your carry on will reduce stress and speed your way to the gate.
• Use FlightTrack 5 to check on your plane: This $5 app is a fantastic airport assistant - it has terminal maps, flight updates with push notifications, gate information, and delay updates. You can also see if your flight has onboard wi-fi.
• For family travel, watch the kids and the stroller: Folding up your stroller and removing your child from it prior to entering the security line will be appreciated - the stroller goes on the conveyor belt, and your child goes with you through the screening process.

While airport security can be unpredictable, utilizing these tips and services should work to reduce stress and save time on most air travel. Many happy returns!

We're pleased to welcome The Residences at Kapalua Bay on Maui as the newest property in the Timbers Collection and the Timbers Reciprocity Program.

Prominent among Hawaii's legendary resorts, Kapalua Bay is distinguished by its dramatic ascent from beach to mountaintop; by two world-class, tournament play golf courses rated #1 in Hawaii; by a spa appointed as the top destination spa in the United States; and, of course, by residences that know few equals. All that is Hawaii reaches its full measure here, from the island's best snorkeling to stunning tropical hiking. And from the shoreline to mountain ridge, there is always an enticing array of dining options. It can be said that this is indeed a paradise secluded at the northern tip of Hawaii's favorite island.

As of March 2014, The Residences at Kapalua Bay are available for trading in the Timbers Reciprocity Program (TRP). To explore trading options, Owners can log in to the website or contact our dedicated team of TRP representatives who are available to assist with questions. The team can be reached at [email protected] or 877.877.4405. Due to the initial high demand for this beach property, it is suggested to check TRP on a regular basis, even daily, if possible.

Additionally, we’re always looking for ways to make the travel experience even more enjoyable, comfortable and hassle-free. To that end, we invite you to visit our Owner Benefits page to learn about the exclusive perks, services and benefits available through our Travel & Lifestyle Partners. With such partners as Hertz, Sentient Jet, Mandarin Oriental, we strive to ease and enhance the ownership experience allowing Owners to focus on what is most important - treasured time with family and friends.

Family rivalry. A little competition. Playing our way to deeper connections with friends and loved ones. These are all part of the dynamics that make our vacations so valuable to us. And at Timbers Resorts, the power of play is at the core of the experiences our Owners enjoy.

Whether you're hitting the lifts and slopes at Dancing Bear Aspen, taking to the rolling greens of wine country at The Orchard at the Carneros Inn, or heading down to the gentle waves of St. Thomas at The Preserve at Botany Bay, games are not only part of vacation, they're what help restore us along the way.

With that in mind, check out this shortlist of ideas for your downtime activities, some old standbys and some new ideas alike.

• Snow-play: NASTAR Ski Racing: A day of fresh powder at The Sebastian - Vail or One Steamboat Place is elevated to a race for personal bests — and a bit of friendly one-upmanship — when it's built around the NASTAR system. The largest public grassroots ski-race program in the world, the way NASTAR works is that friends and family sign up at the organization's website and then start logging times and daily race results. You get tracked and ranked with others in your sport. Pull off an outstanding performance? If your record gets good enough, it can lead to invitations to NASTAR's national events.
• Beach Fun: Games in the Sun: Setting up a net and drawing a volleyball court in the sand has been the start of many a classic seashore day. Form your teams and get serving to see who's going to be the first to overshoot or miss the ball. Keep score, and the winner gets dinner on the defeated team's tab! Check out this how-to video for all the rules of volleyball. And with all that sand, your sun-soaked spot at Kapalua Bay or Esperanza - Cabo San Lucas becomes the perfect place for bocce. Rack up your points by getting your side's ball closest to the target ball. The World Bocce League provides all the rules at their website.
• Parks and Recreation: You don't have to travel more than a couple steps outside your front door. It takes little more than everybody's favorite flying disc to turn an afternoon on a stretch of wide green grass into a bit of good-natured sport. How about a pickup round of Ultimate? The game combines a Frisbee (or any flying disc) with some fairly familiar rules — think American football. Teams try to complete a pass in the opposite side's end zone. You can get the whole game down with these 10 simple steps.
• Taking Your Game Indoors: Finally, you might decide the best way to spend the day is to gather the kids and some friends around the dining room table for a game or two. Here are two that you might not have caught when they first made a splash. In Chronology, a fantastic choice for the multi-generational afternoon, you draw cards describing different historical events and try to line them up in the correct sequence that they occurred. Get five correctly in chronological order to win. Our second pick is the perfect pickup for Owners and guests at our wine-country luxury fractional properties: it's Viticulture. In this card-based game, each player "runs" a vineyard. Manage money, employees, the grapes — and, of course, the wine. First player to 20 points wins.

Whatever your version of play, our concierges are on hand to help arrange equipment and locations for your next bit of competition — whether it's racing the slopes or stoking the fireplace and settling in for an evening of tabletop fun. Game on!

It’s almost film’s most glamorous night of the year, the 86th annual Academy Awards, which take place on Sunday, March 2, 2014! For the Oscar nominees, past winners and presenters, there's no better place to be that night than in Hollywood for the show. For those of us not in that category, Timbers Resorts recommends spending the evening with us or at one of our partners' parties, all listed below.

As for the awards, if you haven’t been keeping up on the Oscars race, let us fill you in. First of all, Ellen Degeneres is returning as host for a second time after hosting in 2007. The family-friendly comedian is a master at bringing the laughs without offending A-listers so count on some good clean fun.

The red carpet has had some break out stars this awards season, notably fashion’s newest darling Lupita Nyong’o. Amy Adams, Jared Leto, Cate Blanchett and Jennifer Lawrence have been making a splash as well and are all in the running for big awards so be on the look out for some major sartorial statements worth of a winner. All of these stars are invited to the Secret Room Events Red Carpet Lounge at The Montage Beverly Hills the day prior to Oscar night. Timbers Resorts will be among the sponsors of this special salon where this year's nominees and presenters, along with past winners, will be invited to receive special invitations and gifts.

Moving onto the awards themselves, American Hustle, Dallas Buyers Club and 12 Years a Slave are heavily favored in the Best Actor in a Leading Role, Best Actress in a Supporting Role and Best Actor in a Supporting Role categories and one of the three is likely to take home Best Picture. Others favored include Alfonso Cuaron as Best Director for Gravity and Cate Blanchett for Best Actress in a Leading Role for Blue Jasmine.

Timbers Resorts properties are loaded with great places to view the festivities with a glass of champagne and savory bites. The private screening room at Dancing Bear Aspen, The Library at The Sebastian - Vail and the Gathering Room at One Steamboat Place are a few of the top hot spots with flat screens and surround sound. Or else allow your concierge to arrange a viewing party in your residence with plenty of bubbly and delicious fare.

Or if you're destined for a fancy affair such as "Hollywood's Big Night" at The Caribou Club presented by Aspen Film, get in the spirit with a glamorous gown. Didn’t pack one? No problem! Rent the Runway will send one right to you.

Happy viewing!
