Vail
On Saturday we skied at Vail and enjoyed crisp sunny day on the slopes. It was our first opportunity to ski Vail and here is our feedback.
Pros
1. Lots of high speed lifts
2. The place is HUGE. It took 4 hours to ski across the front side, drop into the back bowls, and ski back to the village.
Cons
1. It was the busiest day of the season. 20,000+ skiers. The forest service limits the skiers per day to 17,000 but Vail does not stop selling tickets and opts to pay the fine to the feds.
2. Vail is a flat mountain. They have black diamond runs but they are flat. Yes, the famed back bowls are flat too.
3. $85 lift tickets, thankfully we had vouchers.
4. Stop and go traffic at 6:45 in the morning leaving Denver. I guess skiing is popular in Denver.
