Read your blog all the time. It’s the best place to go to get the real information on snow conditions, predicted new openings (like where they are blowing snow or working on starting to open a lift), and basic vail mountain knowledge.
Thank you and keep it up…..

I think they’ll be opening Blue Sky Basin within the week. Surprised they haven’t opened China Bowl already. The original Back Bowls are steeper than China, yet they have the Back Bowls “classic” open already. With easier cat walks in Blue Sky and China, there are not too many reasons not to open them. I’m curious. Perhaps they are waiting for one more snowfall? 50% chance of snow on Wednesday.

Ouzo for sure. Picture taken from Lost Boy I think or Dealer’s.

I agree it looks like the Game Creek lift and Ouzo or Faro above the Game Creek Trail and then down to the lift. I tried Chris, but then Game Creek was the only Bowl open when I was there Vail Daze. Haven’t been back to the other bowls, except Blue Sky Basin for quite some time. Hope you get more responses!

Ouzo from the end of Baccarat? Is that the Chalet? At any rate, I’ve been searching for real live and local snow reports, definitely bookmarking this blog. Crossing my fingers for Blue Sky Basin being open in 2 weeks.
