April 6, 13 inches of Vail snow reported, still snowing…
Tuesday, April 6th, 2010April 4th, 2 more inches of new snow in Vail
Sunday, April 4th, 2010Oh boy, it looks like April might be our best month for snow in the 2009-2010 ski season. Vail mountain reported another 2 inches of new snow at 6am. Light snow all morning so far and more on the way perhaps on Tuesday. Hope to get you pictures late this afternoon.
Afternoon update: it warmed up, so the snow at the bottom was turning to corn. Most of the powder in the Back Bowls turned to mashed potatoes. Bumps were soft. Below are some pictures mostly from the Front Side of Vail Mountain. Chris R.

April 3rd, 3 inches of new Vail snow
Saturday, April 3rd, 2010Another 3 inches of snow in Vail reported this morning. And more snow is predicted throughout the week. Why do we always have to wait until April to get all this snow? Check out this link for an update on Vail weather, etc. and don’t forget to visit the Vail Cam for a cam shot into the Back Bowls.

Vail snow and ski conditions February 12th
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010No pictures today, but we received a surprise this Friday morning with 3 inches of new snow in Vail. This is on top of the 2 inches from yesterday. Down in town it was a bit less, but this snow will freshen the slopes up just in time for the busy President’s weekend holiday. See you out there !
Vail snow and ski conditions February 8
Monday, February 8th, 2010Some of us locals can get pretty lazy mid-season and we can go a week without skiing. Yeah, I know……… But it was good to get out there again. Still no super huge dumps, but every three days or so we get another 3 inches or something. Just enough to keep things soft and keep the skiing good. The sun came out today and we had a trace of new snow. Multiple runs in China Bowl. If you stuck to the west facing slopes in China, the powder was still pretty soft. Some misc. pictures using the camera phone below. They groomed Headwall and Emperor’s choice in the back, which is where we spent most of the day. I went skiing with Marilyn Levey from New York. She took one of those Her Turn workshops through Vail this past weekend and raved about how great it was. Check it out the link for more information. Until next time… Chris R.

I thought I had more pictures, sorry………
Midweek Visit to Vail Mountain
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010Since 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

January 11th groomers, Vail ski conditions
Monday, January 11th, 2010Lots of sunshine today. I went out early as I had to start work mid-day. The Vail groomers were nice and soft early morning. We did a number of runs in the Northwoods area. Highs are expected in the upper 30s today with more snow expected Wed or Thursday. Everything is open. If you are looking for some Vail lodging for this upcoming Martin Luther King weekend, we don’t have but a handful of rooms left, so let us know soon. Chris R.

And last but not least, Stella the bull dog in the snow from a little while back.

Vail ski conditions Dec 29
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009Still catching up on some posts regarding the snow. Not too much to report but that we are still picking up an inch or two every couple of days. They sure have the Golden Peak Terrain Park up and running. Kids are hucking off jumps left and right. Chris R.
Vail ski conditions Dec 27
Sunday, December 27th, 2009Well, the Back Bowls are OPEN ! Chair 5 has been open for two days now and conditions are excellent. Vail’s ski conditions are really the best they have been all season. The snow that we received these past 6 days has really helped out. Plus, it is staying cold. Not sure how long it will last as there are plenty of people on the mountain. The coverage on the back side is better than on front. I think mainly because the Back Bowls just haven’t been skied on very much at this point. Rumors are that they’ll open China Bowl tomorrow. Chris R.
Halfway down Milt’s face and the snow is great.
You know what? I’m always curious if anyone reads these silly posts…. So post a “comment” below or send an e-mail and if you can name this run straight across on this picture, I’ll put a complimentary bottle of wine in your room the next time you are in town. Use our Vail ski area maps if you need to. (the first three to name it, win. And NO, you can’t win a bottle if you work at the front desk) Chris Ratzlaff
Vail ski area reported 11 inches of new snow this morning at 5:30am and we probably received another 3-4 inches on Vail mountain throughout the day. Vail's ski conditions are fantastic. It has been a bit of a wait. Most of the Back Bowls op...
