Let your inner ski bunny shine as you jaunt from hill to hill at Vail
Resorts Colorado, the largest ski resort in the United States. Not only
is it home to some of the best snow in the world, but it is also a great
spot to explore mountain-village life.
stay
If you are going to stay anywhere in Vail, youll want to be as close to
the bottom of the mountain as possible, and you cant get any closer than The
Lodge at Vail. Built in 1962, it has all of the classic
alpine-inspired elements of a traditional ski lodge, not to mention
incredible views of the mountains and a big fireplace for Après-ski wind
down. www.lodgeatvail.rockresorts.com

Looking for a way to see everything in one fell swoop? The stunning Gondola
One at Vail was unveiled last year for their 50th anniversary and
features heated seats and in-car complimentary WiFi. Plus, you get a
bird’s eye view of the skiers below. www.vail.com/mountain
eat
If mountainside dining is your flavour, The
10th on Vail Mountain is the one for you. Gondola One will take you
straight to the restaurant or, better yet, ski right in. Large and
welcoming, this upscale dining room brings fine dining and snow pants to
a union never seen before. A warm and hearty meal like the Elk Bolognese
with Penne was the perfect kickstart to get us back in our boots. www.vail.com/lodging-and-dining
relax
While the après-ski is essential to any winter vacation, hydration and
body care are also essential (translation: spa day!). The Arrabelle
Spa at Vail Square will treat you right with their luxe spa
accommodations. Arrive early to take advantage of their hydrotherapy
pool in the womens relaxation room. Booking a full body Swedish massage
just seems like the right thing to do after a day of hard work on the
hills. www.arrabelle.rockresorts.com/spa/index.asp
shop
Every vacation must have a shopping trip tacked on, which is why we fell
in love with Perch at
Vail Square. Nary a ski jacket to be seen, this girly boutique was
stocked with beautiful cocktail dresses, designer baubles and sweet
accessories. Truly a one-of-a-kind finds in a village jam-packed with
outerwear and Vail t-shirts. http://www.perchvail.com
