The village walk next to my hotel was so unreal. The scenery, the path the stores where just amazing to look at. The employees at the stores that I visit where very nice and kind

I had a chance to stay in Vail while working on a business trip. The valley is beautiful and the area is great. It is a small , narrow valley jammed between breath-taking scenery. There isn't a whole lot of choice when it comes to a resort town as there is really only a Safeway grocery store and one hardware... More

My two sons and I spent a week at Vail, a repeat visit as we've skied there for years. The snow was excellent, as usual, and there was an absence of visitors which wasn't expected as we were there over spring break. For the most part, the weather was clear, sunny and warm. Lift lines were nonexistent due to the... More

Vail is so much more charming, authentic, hospitable and cozier than Aspen. Don't buy into all the hype of Aspen spend your money and time inVail.

super friendly people. skiing was AMAZING! the mountain is gigantic. Tons of places to eat and the nightlife was so much better than we expected.

Walking, window shopping, just roaming is fun here. You don't need to spend money -- although retailers would disagree. It's so different from the real world outside the mountains. One can even find Starbucks for a taste of the familiar, or Yeti's for coffee with locals. Ride the local bus too. It's free.
