Lionshead Oktoberfest This Weekend!

Submitted by leslie on Wed, 09/09/2009 - 20:56.

Get ready for the smell of brats grilling, the taste of good German beer, and the sounds of oom pah bands! Lionshead Oktoberfest takes place this weekend as Vail rolls into fall. Lodge at Lionshead lies well within stumbling distance so come on up and enjoy the beautiful weather we've been having. It's not just beer drinking and brat eating either (although, we think those are the best parts). Festivities include Klement's brat-eating and Beck's Keg Bowling contests, yodeling and alpine horn blowing, and Bavarian dancing. Oktoberfest is a rollicking good time

In spite of the dour forecasts, the weather cooperated nicely and it turned out to be a lovely Labor Day weekend in Vail! A few sprinkles here and there, but nothing to dampen the spirits of those visiting or the great events throughout town.

Summer is Not Over Yet...Great Events Continue

Submitted by leslie on Thu, 08/20/2009 - 23:03.

It has been feeling an awful lot like fall lately which is depressing to the locals because it is only August 20th and our summers are short enough as it is. Each hour of summer is precious to us and we hold on for as long as we can. I'd even venture to say you might have to drag some of us kicking and screaming into winter. And we like winters - really we do - it is just that they are much longer than our beloved - shorter - summers.

My Feet are Cold

So I refuse to give up the flip flops and skirts to the chilly weather we have been experiencing. Although my thoughts in the office are for the upcoming ski season, my heart is still trying to plan as many camping trips as possible. Another season is upon us, and I had a great summer going to so many music events in the mountains. Hot Summer Nights, Vail Dance Festival, Guitar Fest at Cooper Mountain and Jazz at Vail Square are amoung the few events; this year has been the best! I suggest that if you missed Vail this summer that you plan on it next

Bike camp for kids

Submitted by joy on Wed, 08/12/2009 - 19:29.

I have to let everyone know that Vail Mountain Bike Camp is the best. My daughter, Tillie, is definately a much better rider since attending camp and came away with a feeling of accomplishment. It was good to know that she was outside experiencing the Vail Mountain in a different way than in the winter. Going to this camp has made our personal bike rides fun and enjoyable. Mia and Shane do a great job so check them out at http://www.vailmountainbikecamps.com/.

If you are a destination skier who likes to ski/ snowboard/ telemark and you like to ski/ snowboard/ telemark a couple of times a year, you really must consider purchasing an Epic Season Pass. For $599, you get UNLIMITED and UNRESTRICTED access to Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone, Heavenly and Arapahoe Basin. These are 6 world-famous ski resorts. Prior to the 2008-09 winter season when the Epic Pass was first introduced, you couldn't get this kind of unrestricted pass for less than $1,600. That's if memory serves - it may have actually been a few tho

What Should We Do Today?

There are so many things to do during the summer in Vail. You could spend weeks exploring and trying all sorts of different things. I think that's why locals like this season so much! The plethora of options and the beautiful weather, of course.

Vail Rainy Day Activities

Submitted by leslie on Thu, 07/30/2009 - 18:37.

I guess you could say I've been inspired. Rain, hail, sunshine, rain, hail, sunshine...that's what yesterday looked like. Today, we've been socked in all morning. While rain may not be the most preferable weather, there are some positives - less fire danger, gorgeous flowers, cooler temps and an excuse to do something different. Here are some ideas for rainy day activities:
