1 ELEVEN EXPERIENCE DESTINATIONS & ADVENTURES SCARP RIDGE LODGE, COLORADO

2 OUR MISSION Our mission is to custom-make powerful experiences that impact the people who impact the world. Whether heli-skiing near the Arctic Circle in Iceland or casting for bonefish on a remote island in the Bahamas, Eleven experiences are a different kind of escape. We are not found in traditional destinations. Our lodges, chalets and beach houses are miles from the main road - in a historic farming village high along the French- Italian border, on a rugged river in Patagonia, and in other unique locations away from the crowd. In each destination, world-class food and lodging are combined with guided outdoor activities on mountains, in the backcountry, and on the water for guests of all ages and all skill levels. In urban locations our guides gracefully introduce guests to local culture, knowledge and places known only to native insiders. No matter where in the world they may be, every facility has five-star accommodations, award-winning chefs, extensive wine cellars, saunas, steam rooms, spas, and friendly, expert guides who will show you new dimensions of life, friendship, family and adventure. Eleven Experience is headquartered in Crested Butte, Colorado. Eleven represents a new standard in experiential travel. We quench a thirst for unprecedented adventures, authentic connections with down-to-earth guides and deeply personalized holidays for the Adventure Capitalist. ELEVENEXPERIENCE.COM 2

4 why eleven? OFF THE BEATEN PATH At the root of Eleven s identity is the belief that you shouldn t have to sacrifice the comforts of home in order to experience some of the world s most beautiful landscapes and incredible adventures. Our team has scoured the globe for destinations relatively unknown and which still have a strong connection to their community and landscape. Although our properties are far from the main road, they are custom designed to ensure you have access to all of the amenities you should - steam showers, saunas, pools, unique hang spaces, comfortable guest rooms and more. 4 CUSTOM TAILORED EXPERIENCES We believe that your trip should be about you. That means that no trip is ever the same. Even before you arrive, our Experience Managers will help plan your dream itinerary, design menus, organize travel logistics, take note of your preferences and plan special moments. We want you to experience the most out of your trip. As a result, most of our stays are largely all-inclusive meaning that your professional guides, outdoor activities, most meals, house alcohol and local transportation are included. Specific offerings vary at each property - please see destination pages for details. ELEVEN GUIDE TEAM At the core of the experience is the Eleven Guide Team. This international group of highly-trained outdoor and adventure specialists makes the entire experience. Their mission is to assess your goals and comfort levels and then customize the adventure to provide that best-day-ever experience. Our guides enthusiasm for their local surroundings and the adventures they share with you is infectious. It s what sets Eleven Experience apart from any other company in the industry. If getting after it and being slightly out of your comfort zone sounds exciting, this cast of characters will safely lead you through a life-changing experience.

5 BEST DAY EVER POLICY This is important. Unlike other resorts and guide operations, we don t acknowledge down days or weather days. There are no rain checks. We are always armed and amped to improvise and be creative. If we can t ski, we ll surf. If we can t fish, we ll go paddle boarding with a gourmet riverside lunch. You came to have a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and this is what you ll get. Can t begin to describe how fired up I am right now. Empty, glassy, perfect right point this morning and now we re suiting up to hop in the heli to film skiing. Does it get any better? - Scott Gaffney, MSP Films at Deplar Farm ADVENTURES FOR ALL There is not a right or a wrong way to experience an Eleven destination. If you re a die-hard charger who wants to jam-pack your day with adrenaline-fueled activities, we ve got you covered. If you re simply looking for somewhere off the map to turn off your phone and put your feet up, that s what we re here for. Looking for a family getaway to reconnect with multiple generations and long lost cousins? You re in the right place. Regardless of age, adventure enthusiasm, outdoor experience or vacation goals, we will design a trip that exceeds your expectations. A REAL CONNECTION At the end of the day, Eleven strives to create memories that you, your family and your friends can share for a lifetime. We believe the connections and relationships that our guests foster amongst themselves and with nature are the most valuable commodities in the world, and we re here to create these life-affirming moments with you. 5

6 A LETTER FROM YOUR GUIDE My name is Alan Bernholtz. I have worked with Eleven Experience since its inception and have been able to watch the company transform into a leader in the experiential travel industry. As Eleven Experience continues to provide new and exhilarating opportunities for guests around the world, we have remained true to our values from day one. By exposing our guests to nature, new challenges and world-class lodging, we facilitate an environment of personal growth, connection, and adrenaline-fueled fun. Our guides are experts in their field, and will provide insight into local culture, geology, biology and what makes our destinations so special. Our job is to show guests the best places in the world, and while doing so, push beyond their comfort zone where they begin to open up and engage with nature, themselves and each other in ways they never have before. Watching this transformation take place is one of my favorite aspects of the job, and it keeps me excited to come to work each day. OUR JOB IS TO SHOW GUESTS THE BEST PLACES IN THE WORLD, AND WHILE DOING SO, PUSH BEYOND THEIR COMFORT ZONE WHERE THEY BEGIN TO OPEN UP AND ENGAGE WITH NATURE, THEMSELVES AND EACH OTHER IN WAYS THEY NEVER HAVE BEFORE.
