Up And Down Vail Mountain

As Vail''s Bob Parker tells the story, the only difference between the early days of Vail and those of the mining towns in Colorado nearly a hundred years earlier was that Vail''s gold was white. Otherwise the scene was similar-the streets were dirt covered, the bars were rowdy, buildings were being constructed everywhere, and the same self-starting and chance-taking spirit prevailed. If you are new to Vail this book should serve as a guide to the trails and special features that you''ll find here. If you''ve been to Vail before, it''s possible that you''ve missed a run that might be perfect for you or a special feature that will help complete your skiing day. If you''re an old timer, there may be new programs you''re not aware of or perhaps a secluded part of Vail Mountain you haven''t discovered.
