Kim Moore
Owner & MANAGING DIRECTOR
About ME
Hi, I’m Kim. I am from Wisconsin, born and raised (Go Pack Go). I started my career in property management over two decades ago but have spent most of my career in financial markets, the last 19 with Citibank. I started in the Affordable Housing Financing in administration and then Marketing. Along the way I raised two kids and fit in a few seasons ski instructing at Beaver Creek Ski Resort. Launching Grand Welcome Vail Valley has brought my journey full circle back to property management.
Since becoming a full-time resident in the Vail Valley, I have enjoyed a new connection to the community through volunteering for the Beaver Creek Property Owners Association, the sports focused school, Vail Ski and Snowboard Academy’s PTO, and Ski and Snowboard Club Vail.
What I Love About Vail Valley
Our decision to move here allowed me to develop a deeper appreciation for mountain summers. Beyond the thrill of finding untouched powder in winter, I love the summer adventures—hiking, pickleball, golf, mountain biking—and enjoying the diverse festivals offered in the valley.

OWNER & MANAGING DIRECTOR
About Me
Hello, I’m Steve! I am originally from Massachusetts and grew up ski racing in New England. I started my career as a federal bank examiner and since then I’ve worn many hats. I’ve been a successful tech entrepreneur, capital markets CIO, software CEO, and lately a student of data science. Between these titled sojourns, I have always been a consultant in some form, either independently or for well-respected companies like PwC and IBM.
For a long time, a trip out West meant “Vermont” until I finally moved to Denver. On the advice of a friend, I tried Vail Valley my first winter and never left. With a lot of air miles and red-eye flights, I’ve managed to spend enough time in the Vail Valley to work as a Beaver Creek ski instructor for the past 20+ years.
Today, I am committed to running a successful vacation rental management business here in Vail Valley and keeping up with my former business interests albeit in a more limited capacity through Board involvement or consulting.
What I Love About Vail Valley
Like most people I love our dry snow, sunny days, and big fall line vertical. My favorite thing about Vail Valley is our ability to host America’s only World Cup Downhill. I love it when I’m skiing in other countries and nearly everyone knows Vail Valley from that race!

Do I need to collect and remit taxes for vacation rentals in Vail Valley?
Before collecting any short-term rental taxes from your guests in Eagle County, Colorado you need to know whether any taxes have already been collected for you. Short-term rental platforms like AirBnB are usually required to register with the local Department of Revenue and collect short-term rental taxes when the listing is booked. If taxes are not being collected for you or are incomplete, you are responsible for collecting and remitting taxes. Local taxes on your short-term rental will include state and count sales taxes, town occupancy and use taxes as well as possible civic assessments depending on the location where the lodging is provided. Please note that this is a general guideline, and the requirements can vary. Always consult with a local authority or a legal professional to ensure compliance with all local regulations and tax laws.
