Vail is one of those places that lives up to the hype. The mountain is enormous, the skiing is…read moreworld-class, and the village is one of my favorite mountain towns anywhere. It is undeniably expensive and often the busiest of Colorado's major destination resorts, but there is a reason so many people keep coming back. What I appreciate most is how walkable everything feels. Vail Village and Lionshead are beautifully designed, with pedestrian streets, alpine architecture, and enough restaurants, shops, and patios that you can happily spend hours wandering after the lifts close. The atmosphere feels polished without being overly formal, and it has always reminded me of a lively European mountain town. On the mountain, the scale is almost difficult to comprehend. Between the impeccably groomed front side, the legendary Back Bowls, and Blue Sky Basin, there is enough terrain to keep you exploring for days. I especially remember the feeling of looking out across the bowls and realizing just how much skiing was still available, even after days on the mountain. If I have one criticism, it is that Vail can feel crowded. The resort does an impressive job moving people with its lift system, but its popularity is impossible to ignore. Even so, once you spread out across more than 5,000 acres, it is remarkably easy to find great skiing. Another advantage is how accessible the area is. Being along the I-70 corridor makes Vail much easier to reach from Denver than Aspen, particularly during the winter when Eagle and Aspen flights can be less predictable. I also like that Beaver Creek is just down the road, making it easy to mix two outstanding ski areas into the same trip. Vail is just as enjoyable after the snow melts. The golf is excellent, and the surrounding mountains are perfect for fly fishing, rafting, hiking, and simply spending time outdoors. It is one of those rare destinations that feels just as special in July as it does in January. Ski vacations are a luxury, and Vail is one of the most expensive places to enjoy one. Even so, if you're looking for incredible terrain, a beautiful village, and an easy place to bring family or friends, it is hard to think of a better choice. I have loved every visit, and I hope to be back many more times.

Regarding the conductor....He added so much by giving insights into the music. For example, one piece was converted for a symphony from four-handed piano pieces. In addition to describing this change, he had the pianist play a small portion followed by the entire symphony playing the same portion. Hearing the transformation made the piece more interesting. I will definitely be going back!!! And, here's the thing; get the "cheap seats". It's a small concert hall; the last row ain't that far back. And if you want to be truly adventurous (super cheap) during the warmer summer nights, bring a blanket and a picnic, and sit outside - you'll be under the stars while listening to the beautiful music.
