** Our first trip this season will be Vail, Colorado. We will be staying at The Antlers at Vail in ski in/ski condos, 150 yards from the Lionshead Gondola and steps from the free in-town shuttle. This Vail property is conveniently located to Vail’s shopping, restaurants and nightlife. Condo rentals include: full kitchen, private balcony, daily housekeeping, fireplace, on-site ski rentals, complimentary ski valet, and you may relax in the pool or hot tubs located on the bank of the Gore Creek. Your base trip includes lodging, transfers to and from the Denver airport for our air passengers, a grocery/liquor store stop, and trip leader planned apres ski activities.
Vail Skiing and Snowboarding
A huge 5289 acres of terrain is available at Vail, with something for everyone. Even absolute beginners are well catered for at Gopher Hill and at the top of the Eagle Bahn Gondola. The area really comes into its own, however, for intermediates upwards, especially if you follow the corduroy by picking up the day’s grooming map each morning. Our favorite runs lie in Game Creek Bowl, around the Northwoods Express and over the back of the mountain down to the Orient Express.
Vail’s ski area comes alive on a powder day, especially when a Rocky Mountain snowstorm loads the Back Bowls with fresh snow – just be sure to get there as early as possible to score fresh tracks. Blue Sky Basin is one vast playground filled with tree runs and gladed terrain, some of which is seriously steep; and it is here where you’ll find the best powder stashes long after fresh snowfall.
