I’ve been here for just over 4 Years in the Vail Valley; I started out as a manager of a ski and snowboard shop in Beaver Creek before being hired by Vail Ski Vacations. I’m currently living in Avon with incredible views of Beaver Creek, having originally moved from the southeast coast of North Carolina, Wilmington to be exact…ever seen the movie Cape Fear with DeNiro?

What do you like about the Vail Valley? How does the Valley enhance your interests?

The Vail Valley allows you to pursue a career while be stationed in one of the greatest outdoor arenas in North America. As you push yourself at work you also push yourself with recreation…winter sports, summer sports, live music…there’s never a dull moment. My hobbies here in the valley include snowboarding, snowshoeing, kayaking, mountain biking, skateboarding, hiking and camping. And by the way, the Vail Valley sees over 300 days of sunshine a year!!! How do you like that Florida?!?!?

Give a brief synopsis of a typical day at work.

A typical day at work includes working on TPS reports, looking for my stapler, decorating my cubicle, harassing other coworkers (especially Greg)…pretty basic. On a serious note, I generally start the day by checking voice mail and emails and following up with anyone needed. Usually 3X weekly I will work on and create QuikBooks files to send to our bookkeeper. This keeps us up to speed with our cash flows and allows for a snapshot of our company’s financials. Once we have this snapshot we can then make knowledgeable, financially strategic decisions for the best interest of our company.

Throughout the day I will field phone calls from potential clients, work with existing clients and also work with domestic and international wholesalers whom send business our way. I love working with FIT (frequent independent travelers) clients but right now I’m really enjoy working with the wholesalers, as this is new to our company. Setting up new relationships throughout the USA as well as overseas is exciting! New contacts, new networks…it really takes our company in the direction we’re shooting for which is to be recognized and well-respected world-wide. I am proud to play such a vital role in developing our wholesale division.

Name & Position

Pamela Saden, Director of Concierge Services

How long have you lived in the Vail Valley? Where did you move from?

I’ve lived in Vail for almost 27 years having moved from Northern California, although I am originally from Southern California.

What do you like about the Vail Valley? How does the Valley enhance your interests?

What I like about Vail: I like the climate, blue skies, fluffy white clouds, the outdoors, a lack of traffic, the small town atmosphere, fresh snow, looking at the brilliant stars, feeling safe, the summers and winters, fall colors, wildlife and the arts.

I am a professional fine art photographer and love being in touch with nature, so Colorado is a great state for me to live in. When I am not working or taking photos I’m often making jewelry, working out, snowshoeing, hiking or creating new raw vegan recipes.

Give a brief synopsis of a typical day at work.

Being a concierge for fifteen years has taught me there really aren’t typical days in the life of a concierge. Helping others is what I enjoy and do best, ensuring my days always seem full. Whether I am planning someone’s entire vacation from their travel, dining, and activities to their childcare (just to mention a few things), or organizing a family reunion and providing information on what Vail and the surrounding areas have to offer, my job not only excites me but coincides with many aspects of my personal life.

After my first year of being a concierge in Vail I won Employee of the Year for the Radisson Resort in Vail (now the Marriott) and went on to be honored as Western Region Employee of the Year for Corporate Radisson. Flying to Berlin, Germany to accept my award was one of the highlights of my life. The honor and having my hard work recognized were critical steps in my development as one of Vail’s best concierge. My extensive knowledge of local Vail Valley activities coupled with the invaluable relationships I have developed with local businesses ensures that our guests’ stay will not only be memorable, but generally exceed their expectations.
