a little on Vail

Vail can be everything to everyone. The new Ritz and Four Seasons are here now, but those Vail puritans(those that still ski) can still enjoy the value and fun of Vail’s Mountain Haus and The George for apres’……Vail gives almost everyone almost everything. And it’s not just because it’s humongous. Sure, Vail has more terrain in its back bowls (2,600 acres) than most mountains have within their permit areas. At Vail’s Mountain Haus every guest is valued. That goes for the ones who ski and the ones who don’t. Nonskiers can find plenty to do, too, from spas to shopping to snow tubing. Considering Vail’s  size, terrain, snow and weather, you get the most bang for your buck…there is no comparison. The new chair 5…..bigger and faster…and another new restaurant at Mid-Vail….described as upscale casual. That means same food as Two Elk, but twice the cost and someone waits on you….I guess.   I can’t wait.
