I realize a lot of people love Vail but it turns out it's been our least favorite for two main reasons. One is that parking is a nightmare.... well unless you consider that after paying $25 to still have to walk a REALLY long way to the slopes is ok. And the free lots are hard to figure out and even if you do find them you still get dropped off at a location that's quite a way from slopeside. The other thing that surprised us (remember this was a holiday weekend) was the much smaller number of runs percentage wise that were groomed...and ungroomed (due to lack of recent snowfall) equals Volkswagen sized bumps. Add in the Sun Valley injury and it was not a magical experience. But really we will definitely need to give it another try!
However one kind of cool thing was that Michelle Obama and their two girls were there skiing so it was interesting to observe how security has to be high yet it's really not as obvious as I would have thought ...not nearly as exciting as the skiing scenes in that one 007 movie either!
