Vail was delayed for a day as previously mentioned. It was the largest resort that we went to, although, in reality, all the places were larger than one could really plan to cover in a day. Given the size, there were lots of areas of fresh, though maybe not wholly untouched, snow. We spend the day heading over to and skiing in the Blue Sky Basin area. Getting there by map was slightly confusing because it’s to the right side of the mountain, but then around the back side as well, flipping everything. Fortunately, expedition in getting to a certain point in a ski resort is not really important since you’re at the resort to ski and skiing to get where you’re going.
That’s not much of a story… so look at some pictures. I threw some descriptions in with a few of them.
This was the view from the top of the first gondola ride up Vail. We didn't stay here long.
It was suggested that we get a group picture taken at the top by one of the promo photographers. I choose to believe this embodies Callum's thoughts on that plan.
Looking back up our first run at Vail. I have no idea what hills these are or what lift that is.
Pano, I believe from somewhere half way down the first run.
This was the second lift we sought out, coming down from the right side of the picture. Stayed here for a while - the snow was pretty good.
Pano version of the last shot.
View up the mountain from the Lionshead village.
The amazing Vail parking lot. The moon was up midday, so I had to grab a picture.
