Up And Down Vail Mountain

<p>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.</p>
