cant wait to go skiing
Vail review written Feb 10 2013 - 06:48 AM
Vail is ski Heaven in the USA The back bowls are outstanding and has terrain for all levels. Just pick a spot and let it fly!
Conditions are always excellent. A big mountain with many areas to choose from.
Its nice to visit many different ski resorts but Vail is a place you can always return to.

as a local I'm pretty glad that their are no deals in Vail. Vail's a big mountain but it gets a lot of the Denver crowd. When combined with the vacation crowd it can get quite busy, but even on those days it's crucial to find the lifts that don't look as busy and make laps on them. There are a few 'tourist traps' that will leave you standing in line most of the day (namely the Northwoods Express lift).
Blue Sky and China bowls are so overtracked that it's near impossible to find good snow back there on a powder day, with the exception of days in which the pass is closed.

Vail was a large mountain with plenty of terrain, however, the lift lines were absolutely ridiculous. I spent 45 minutes waiting in one line and 20-30 minutes was not uncommon. It probably didn't help that it dumped about 2.5 feet over night, so it was a ton of fun... but I don't know if I'll be going back. Especially since it's over $100/day for a lift ticket. There are other resorts that offer the same kind of terrain for less money and a lot less time standing in line.
FYI, the road back to Denver on Sunday was also horrid. They only let so many cars through the Eisenhower tunnel on the freeway at a time so give yourself an extra 3 hours for waiting in line on the interstate so you don't miss you flight home. I can speak from experience here. : P

Leave the front side to the families and beginners. Head straight to Two Elk Lodge for a cold beer and drop into China Bowl for a warm up.The back bowls are where you will find the powder and lighter crowds. Sun Up and Sun Down bowls are really fun and make sure you check out Blue Sky Basin for great tree runs. Too bad Vail doesn't have any deals with Liftopia. I used them for the first time in Utah this December and we got to experience 5 mountains in 5 days at half price with no hassle.

Looks like Vail isn't going to offer lift deals anymore on Liftopia.com -- sad but true. Vail should consider that some of the most devoted snow sport enthusiasts use Liftopia to make their snow addiction more affordable. Taking away the deals should steer us elsewhere! Bye, bye Vail!

Monstrous Mountain with everything to offer any level of skier. Enjoyed all three days.

We went to Vail for one day and it took us a long time to get our bearings, especially because it was snowing. The runs are fun, but be careful as they change in difficulty along the way...could start on blue, go to black without warning. We would like to go back to ski more of the mountain some day.
