Ask any local why he or she moved to Vail and the answer is "for the skiing/ snowboarding/ winter." Ask any local why he or she has stayed in Vail and the resounding answer is "for the summers!" It is so true. Colorado blue bird skies, Rocky Mountains, towering pine trees and wildflowers, rushing rivers, comfortable day time temperatures, cool nights, no humidity, a plethora of activities, free concerts under the stars, world-renowned cultural events, days full of sunshine...the list could go on and on.
Dare we call it paradise? IWe think so. Come visit us this summer at the Lodge at Lionshead and you can make the decision yourself!
