Midweek Visit to Vail Mountain

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Since I had been feeling better I took to the slopes February 2nd Tuesday morning. Wow, was I reminded of how great it is to be on Vail Mountain when there are no crowds! The Gondola, Game Creek, Chair 5, Chair 11 and Chair 4; no lines! It was heaven for those who have only hours before they have to work. My runs were in the glistening sun and as though I was all alone; it was one of my favorite days on the mountain. I hope your upcoming days here in Vail mirror my Tuesday morning and if you haven’t booked your accommodations here at the Antlers at Vail, well we’re here waiting

Happy, happy, happy

Vail skiing conditions January 31

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

Sorry about the lack of vail skiing condition updates, but when the snow gets good (as it has been this past week) we don’t have a lot of time for pictures and posting blog updates. We have to hit the slopes, right now. That is just the way it goes. So anyhow…..the skiing has been fantastic this week but we had some warm and sunny weather this past Friday and Saturday. What that means is that Friday and Saturday skiing was GREAT but by Sunday it got pretty icy. We either need more sun or new snow. The bumps are staying soft on the northern facing slopes such as Vail front side and Blue Sky Basin, but the south facing Back Bowls were no good by this Sunday. But don’t despair, it started snowing this Sunday afternoon as we were up on the mountain. We expect 2-4 inches between now and Monday night. Chris R.
