Adventure Travel Alert: EpicQuest Launches with Premium Adventure Itineraries, Exclusive International Destinations and World-Class Athletes

Jackson Hole, Wyo., Dec. 23 — Today’s launch of EpicQuest marks a new era in international adventure travel. Offering a diverse portfolio of high-intensity travel itineraries across a range of sports categories and destinations, EpicQuest provides a backstage pass to the greatest travel adventures in the world.

EpicQuest has retained a distinguished roster of world-class athletes to guide many of its excursions. Already on board are Olympic skier Tommy Moe, surf legend Laird Hamilton, legendary free-skier Jeremy Nobis, and big mountain snowboarder Jeremy Jones. Renowned female skiers, such as Lyndsey Dyer, have also joined EpicQuest’s team.

EpicQuest’s portfolio offers one-of-a-kind sports itineraries in skiing, snowboarding, surfing, fishing, cycling and safaris to premium destinations such as the Tordrillo Mountains of Alaska; Sun Valley, Idaho; Verbier, Switzerland; Bhutan and Kenya, among others.

“Our personal experience and world-renowned guides give us entree to remote — even untouched — locations that few have ever seen or experienced,” said Craig Pattee, Chief Executive Officer, EpicQuest. “EpicQuest clients receive a backstage pass to the most exciting adventures in the world.”

EpicQuest adventures are custom-tailored, world-class trips that clients experience with renowned athletes and guides. Itineraries address clients’ personal travel goals, adventure appetite, and skill level, while matching their preferences for premium accommodations, amenities and culinary selections.

“We are working with several highly respected brands in the areas of private jet travel, ground transportation and outdoor equipment to ensure that our clients are thoroughly satisfied with their EpicQuest adventure,” said Dirk Collins, Vice President of Marketing and Brand Development, EpicQuest.

EpicQuest was formed through a strategic roll-up of leading domestic and international travel companies. Its European adventures span Switzerland, Italy, and France. In the US, the Company’s first phase of acquisitions focused on snow-based travel companies including Idaho’s Sun Valley Heli Ski Guides and Alaska’s Chugach Powder Guides. The Company will continue its acquisition and partnership-based strategies throughout 2009 to broaden and diversify its evolving international portfolio.

Leveraging its platform of highly renowned snow-based travel companies, EpicQuest is currently offering helicopter skiing and snowboarding adventures to highly coveted terrain in Sun Valley, Idaho and throughout Alaska.

Additionally, through an agreement with Indies Trader, EpicQuest clients can enjoy excursions to little-known surfing areas in the South Pacific — trips that are also ideal for scuba diving, snorkeling and fishing. EpicQuest will enhance its surfing itineraries throughout 2009 through the development of surf-based programs in exotic locales across the globe.

Launching in mid-2009 are EpicQuest African safaris and fishing expeditions in both salt and fresh water, reflecting the Company’s continued rollout and expansion of its one-of-a-kind itineraries. Mountain and road biking adventures around the world, along with rafting and trekking trips in Bhutan, will also be part of EpicQuest’s Spring/Summer 2009 adventure offerings.

MAYOR AND Council will get a preview of the town’s new Web site Monday night during its monthly meeting.  Latham Jenkins, president of Circumerro Media of Jackson Hole, Wyo., was hired in April to redesign the Web site.  His work will be reviewed by Council members and staff next week, recommended changes will be made and the site launched by the end of August, as planned.

“We are excited to present our work on Monday night to Town council and staff, ” Jenkins said.  “The town’s residents have been so supportive through this processs of building the site’s content and I am grateful.  I believe the site represents the town for all it’s great qualities it offers and it will be a real marketing asset for the community.  As a community marketer, I applaud Council and staff for their forward thinking”.

Latham Jenkins is taking his assignment personal.

’I think Tarboro has a lot to offer,’ he said. ’I don’t want anyone to consider living here and not know its story.’

Jenkins, a Tarboro native, has the contract to redesign the Town of Tarboro’s Web site. The current site (http://www.tarboro-nc.com) was developed about five years ago.

Jenkins has hired Tarboro’s Dee Harper to write copy and Bill Goode to take some photographs. Jenkins is shooting video himself, interviewing people around town.

’I’ve had great progress working with the community at large,’ he said. ’This is a project built for Tarboro by the people of Tarboro. I’m using the local talent to tell the story of Tarboro.’

Jenkins, 38, left town 15 years ago for a summer job out west and ’really haven’t gotten back yet,’ he said.

He founded Circumerro Media in Jackson Hole, Wyo., where he worked as a river guide during the summer while attending Appalachian State University in Boone. Circumerro has been successful and has offices in South Carolina, also.

Town Councilman Steve Hoard recommended Circumerro because of the outstanding job Jenkins and his crew did for Kanban, the Tarboro logistic outfit Hoard helped found.

Circumerro specializes in Web design, publishing, branding and working with real estate firms to help Realtors tell the story of their communities.

Council selected Circumerro at the April 14 meeting. Jenkins, the son of Councilman John Jenkins, has a contract not to exceed $44,800.

’This came at a perfect time for us,’ said Latham Jenkins, ’and it’s a great way to reconnect. In fact, it’s been challenging because I see so many people on the street, and I have to stop what I’m doing.’

The 15 hours of tape will be sent back to Jackson Hole for an early review while Jenkins take some time off this week to visit the beach. He plans to return next week and continue filming.

’Video is essential,’ he said. ’The average attention span is about two and a half minutes. We’ve got to boil the message down.’

Jenkins plans to make a presentation to Town Council at its Aug. 18 meeting.

’We will make adjustments based of their feedback,’ he said. ’The site should be up by the end of that month if not sooner.’
