ADRIANA & ALLEN
Two Generations of Dreams
Two decades ago, they fell in love not just with each other, but with the mountain. Ever since, it has been their dream to return to Beaver Creek as a family.
That dream came true this year when they returned to celebrate Adriana’s 40th birthday. Her gift? Seeing her son’s reaction as they saw snow for the very first time.

The Von Stroh Family Story
“Vail was the magnet that pulled us all together,” said Rolland Von Stroh, 76, as he and his wife, Cappy, planned their annual family ski day over hot morning coffee.
Now three generations strong and separated by state lines and career paths, the Von Stroh family come together every holiday season for some much needed quality time. That’s been the case since their three boys were two years old.
These days, grandchildren Wells (6) and Kingsley (8) are the ones leading the way to the legendary back bowls. “We can’t even keep up with them anymore,” Rolland laughed.
Coveted as one of the largest ski resorts in the world, Vail has been an extraordinary winter vacation destination for passionate skiers and snowboarders for more than 50 years.
Past the Beaver Creek gate lies an idyllic and intimate village where legendary ski terrain meets blissful luxury mountain resorts. A place where immaculate grooming and world-class skiing give way to warm après-ski cookies and five-star cuisine.
Breck’s five interconnected peaks offer amazing variety for every skill level. Peak 10 offers steep runs and challenging moguls. Peak 9 is best for beginners. Situated in the heart of the resort, Peak 8 is packed with trails for all levels. Intermediate skiers will feel at home on Peak 7’s blue runs, while those seeking an above-treeline experience will get their thrills on Peak 6.
With three unbelievable mountains, tons of outdoor adventures, lodging and dining all in two unique villages, it’s clear that Keystone is the best place to experience the best of the Rocky Mountains. The fun and excitement is all in one convenient location.
