Summer / Winter / Summer / WinterSubmitted by joy on Tue, 05/26/2009 - 17:33.Spring has sprung and the grass is green. It's great to get outside and play. Summer is just around the corner and we are hoping everyone comes to Vail to beat the heat at 2006 rates. Although we constantly have Summer on our minds, I have been working on Winter reservations. Thinking of Summer, planning Winter; Summer / Winter.
Time for Spring CleaningSubmitted by leslie on Wed, 05/13/2009 - 22:11.With the arrival of spring, comes spring cleaning and the staff at the Lodge at Lionshead is hard at work. Alfonso and Angelo have been manicuring the lawns, scrubbing down the pools and hot tubs and generally getting the property polished-up for summer. Today, we've been watching them powerwash the balconies all afternoon. That will be followed by window washing. Those boys are busy! It's definitely a big job to keep the Lodge in top notch condition. Steammaster has been here this week deep cleaning condo carpets and rugs. Our housekeeping staff
Springtime in VailSubmitted by leslie on Tue, 05/12/2009 - 21:57.Spring has arrived in Vail...for the most part. I can see Vail Mountain from my desk and it is amazing how quickly the snow is melting. Last week there was still enough snow for mountain employees to travel via snowmobile and snowcat on the mountain to get things ready for summer. Now, they can't do that anymore. Patches of snow are few and far between and I can already see a little bit of green on the big brown areas that have melted. What a difference a week makes!
It is Vail Mountain's Last WeekendSubmitted by leslie on Sat, 04/18/2009 - 20:08.Well, it's officially the end of another great season tomorrow! Economically, it was a little tough - as it is everywhere - but we couldn't have asked for a better season. Vail Mountain received a total of 434" (36 feet!) of snow and still has a 70" mid-mountain base. To put this in perspective, Vail averages 350" of snow a season. Conditions were truly epic and those who made it out here had great skiing/ snowboarding and few crowds. What a way to spend a winter vacation!
