| RESORT INFO : Being the largest single ski mountain in North America and with the legendary back bowls,some 7 miles wide,Vail offers even the most discerning of skiers,or boarders,a wonderful choice of slopes,set in a Bavarian style atmosphere,but with the service and smiles one is accustomed to,from the American attitude to life.Guaranteed to keep any level of skier happy,other than those wanting severe vertical challenges,Vail offers around 300km of terrain,challenging the size of most European areas. For those who like cruising immaculately "groomed" pistes (or trails) Vails ski area can be more appealing than the 3 Valleys,with wider pistes between the trees and less people on the slopes to avoid.For mogul skiers just try Highline.Its a wow! For good skiers or boarders the back bowls,which arent groomed,offer steep and deep thrills.Just try Blue Sky Basin.Its awesome! There is an excellent choice of accommodation, for all levels of budget, from the superb Sonnenalp Hotel through to the condominiums of Breakaway West.There is also a huge choice of bars and restaurants from the busy Garfinkels in Lionshead and the lively Red Lion, through to Los Amigos and the gourmet Sweet Basil.Just watch the skiers ski or fall down the bottom of the mens downhill run from the deck of Los Amigos, with their speciality drink in your hand (Margarita).Night owls are catered for with the Fu Bar or Vendettas.Vail should be another ski resort firmly in your top 10 of places to visit.You certainly will have many "nice days"! For those who want full catering,we can offer this half board or evening meal only facility in many of the properties,for groups of 8 or more.Or we have our unique "dinner prepurchase option" where we pre book dinner at a select number of restaurants,at discounted rates.More reasons to perhaps visit Vail.
