YOGA
>Back to top

• I have never done yoga before. Will you teach to different levels?
  Fit Ventures teaches the Yogafit® style, which is a style of yoga that is inclusive of all abilities and levels.  Modifications and props together with progressive flowing movements ensure that your experience is safe, relaxing, and fun. 
  
  
• Do I need to bring a yoga mat or any other yoga class equipment?
  Fit Ventures provides all yoga equipment, however, if you own your own mat and are partial to it, please feel free to bring it with you. Fit Ventures also supplies equipment for all organized group activites (there is a nominal fee to rent equipment at other times). Included in your venture is a weekend Activity Pass which allows you free use of trails, ice skating pond and the tubing hill lift.
  
  

FITNESS & ACTIVITIES

• Do I need to do any specific physical training/exercises to prepare for this venture?
  If you are currently following an exercise regime, continue.  If not, rest assured you do not need to have specific training for your Beaver Meadows Venture.  During scheduled activities professional instruction will offer choices for all abilities with your safety and success in mind.
  
  You may, however, consider coordinating your pre-trip training with any specific goals you may have set for your venture experience.
  
  

RESORT & TRAVEL
>Back to top

• If I travel alone, is it possible to share a room?
  Yes, absolutely.  When you submit your reservation request please note your interest in sharing a room.  Fit Ventures will make the rooming arrangement if there is another single, same gender, traveler interested.    You will be charged the Shared Room rate if we are able to accommodate your request.  If not, you will be charged a Private Room supplement.
  
  
• What is the average winter climate at Beaver Meadows?
  In February there is 70% chance of daily Colorado sunshine, an average of 6-7” of fluffy snow, and the temperature hovers between 25-30%.  All the winter activities will invigorate and refresh your body.  Warm yourself fireside with hot cocoa when you are done.
  
  
• Can ground transportation be provided from either Fort Collins or Denver International Airport to Beaver Meadows Ranch Resort?
  Yes. This can be arranged by Fit Ventures on an individual basis, at an additional charge, with advance notice (Fort Collins is located 40 miles, and Denver is located 87 miles from the resort).
  
  
• What is the expected resort attire?
  Dress for comfort and warmth. This is a ranch resort, where casual attire includes jeans.  Wearing layers of natural fiber clothing will accommodate the temperature variation as well as your comfort while playing in the snow.  Loose and comfortable clothing which provides ease of movement is perfect for yoga.
  
  
• Should I purchase travel insurance?
  It is advisable to purchase travel insurance prior to leaving.  There are a variety of policies which cover, for example, accidents, illness, out of town hospitalization, and other emergency situations. You might want to first check with your medical insurance provider to confirm your status to seek out-of-network care and then decide.
  
  
• Can the restaurant provide optional meals for special dietary needs?
  Yes. With advance notice (just inform Fit Ventures) the Ranch restaurant can prepare special meals for an additional charge. The selected meals feature a variety of fresh and tasty “down-home” American cuisine.  A-la-carte items can also be ordered off the menu at the advertised price.

• Where is the closest hospital should I require medical attention?
