Ahhh Vail...the Disneyland of the ski industry. Some of those developments were quite successful at aping the chalets of the French Alps. Some weren't. Thanks for sharing though; it's been awhile since I've been.

It was my spring break last week, weather like 15-20 with lite snow but mostly sunny sky, couldn't ask for better weather. Vail have some best quality snow I must say, very dry soft powder, I build a chair and a table at the peak using it to eat my lunch :lol::lol::lol:
