opinions on the lodge at vail?
So, we're planning a ski trip ... er, I mean, honeymoon. We're looking
at the week of Mar 30 to Apr 4 or thereabouts. And with our Colorado passes, we figure we might as well go to Vail and save a few bucks by not having to pay for lift tickets. Anyway, there's this place: http://lodgeatvail.rockresorts.com/info/htl.asp Anyone have any opinions? Alternate suggestions? Our main criterion is simply "easy slope access," but we're also looking forward to staying somewhere that's a bit cozier than our typical "Motel 6" style lodgings. After all, we'll be staying at the place for almost a week. -- monique |

Opinions on the lodge, I meant ... My guy has proven that he loves me more than he loves powder. I doubt your friends could do the same =) -- monique |

I was able to find some pretty good stuff on the front side though, knee deep, first tracks, over a cliff kind of thing. Didn't even know it was there until I started looking around for something to do... On the bright side, Jen's turns are coming along nicely, and her speed is increasing. She is getting better every time we go. |

She is getting better every time we go. Yeah, we went to A-Basin Saturday, and after "skiing" down a run of knee to thigh deep powder, I decided I needed a lesson before I could enjoy myself. He abandoned his powder celebration to join me. The lesson helped us both out a lot, though, so in the end, he wasn't complaining -- especially when he saw me making tighter turns than I ever have, and when he saw me coming down a mogul run and only stopping from exhaustion, not indecision or fear. Grats to your wife! The more patient you are with her now, the faster she will be able to ski the good stuff alongside you =) -- monique |

Don't know what to say - Motel 6 is on the upscale side as far as I'm concerned - you should have seen some of the places I slept in India, and I didn't even have the excuse of good snow waiting in the am. |

Nothing against Motel 6 -- it's clean and comfy. I just want some pampering on our honeymoon. -- monique |

Very nice. Exclusive and Pricey. For more reasonable digs right across the
street from the Lodge at Vail, try the Sitzmark. "Monique Y. Herman" wrote in message ... So, we're planning a ski trip ... er, I mean, honeymoon.
