Welcome to Aspen Ski Resort near Cumbria. It is one of my favorite vacation spots. I first discovered this fantastic resort when it was recommended to me by a journalist who was interviewing me. I then contacted my travel agent for further information about the resort and from the first time I visited the place, it was love at first sight. Now, when I don't have acting jobs to do, I would come here and relax. My parents were both geographers, and their profession afforded my siblings and I the opportunity to travel with them all over the world when we were growing up, visiting some of the places I had seen in the television documentaries I had watched. Their passion kept affecting me, and eventually, I realized that traveling has been something I love for a long time. 00:01:44,460 A bit of background on the Aspen Ski Resort. 00:01:48,170 The area of Cumbria was first known as a vacation spot in the nineteen twenties. However, that was only as a summer vacation spot. The area became home to a summer resort in the nineteen thirties. 00:02:04,240 In the nineteen sixties, with the increasing popularity of downhill skiing, the first British ski resort appeared. The Aspen Ski Resort was established soon after in nineteen sixty-eight, and the Cumbria area became a popular destination for winter skiing vacations. Although snow skiing is the most popular winter activity at the resort, there are also some other popular activities. 00:02:34,220 In the spring, summer, and fall seasons, playing golf is easily the favorite activity of most of the resort's guests. There are five top-ranked courses within a short driving distance of the resort, and the resort offers many packages for visitors during the warmer months. Also, throughout the year, many of the resort's guests like to visit the Great Waters Brewing Company, 00:03:01,780 but it is under reconstruction at the moment. Also, many of our visitors take advantage of skydiving activities offered by a skydiving school, but the school is located in another town, which is about two-hour drive from here. 00:03:19,080 Some people ask what activities are recommended in the nearby Eddymoor region. Many visitors to that popular destination often also visit either the hot springs near the city of Marlborough or the local market in the city of Jamestown. The hot springs are geothermally heated groundwaters that rise from the crust of the Earth and are enjoyed by folks of all ages. However, the price of having a hot spa there is quite high this season. The Eddymoor Nature Museum is a great alternative. You will see details of the animals which are native to the area. Most visitors in the past gave really positive feedback about the museum. The market in Jamestown region has a nice selection of fruits and vegetables which are grown on farms in the area and also a selection of fresh seafood. The market is not open this week. 00:04:23,340 Please note that the Aspen Resort sponsors monthly education and entertainment programs which are open to the public. Previous programs have featured mountain walking in Europe and wildlife around the world. The upcoming entertainment program, which will take place at seven PM, May the eighteenth, in the resort conference center, will be about the landscape of the United Kingdom. These events are free to those attending, but seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis. 00:04:59,340 Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions seventeen to twenty. 00:05:16,540 Now listen and answer questions seventeen to twenty. 00:05:31,640 Finally, let me outline what some of the Cumbria area's other skiing locations are popular for. Lakeside is the oldest of the area resorts. Its popularity barely decreases over the years, and it was recently renovated. A newly built ski school there has attracted some attention, and it will be open to the public within a couple of months. 00:05:57,260 Petersburg is well known as a training site for skiing teams. It's the home training base for Olympic champion Billy Randolph. Winterton is a resort that is well known as a place for inexperienced skiers. It has many different bunny hills for new learners, and it doesn't require any good equipment. Elslops is a resort that will provide you with some special service. They have a certified staff that will care for your kids while you're on the slopes. For people who want to enjoy the beauty of nature as well as having some exciting activities, these places are... 00:06:38,660 That's the end of section two.
