Going to California soon, which one should I go to? I'm an intermediate

Much as I don't prefer Heavenly, it's tailor made for someone of your
description. Lots of inexpensive food and motels at south shore (I would
check the Casinos for deals, though) night life and a large intermediate
mountain (now owned by Vail - does anyone else think Vail is out to corner
the "intermediate skiing market?")


LAL,

I'll bet there's a growing demand for intermediate skiing. The Baby Boomers
have hit 60. That means we're all 40+ or something like that. Sounds like
a population that is going to start backing off a little as a simple
function of the aging process and deteriorating health.

If that's what VAIL is doing, it's probably going to be a winning strategy
if my theory is right.
