36 Hours in Vail

By ELAINE GLUSAC

Published: February 1, 2009 in the New York Times

VAIL does not have the charm of Telluride. Nor does it exude the glitz of Aspen. Even Breckenridge, arguably, has better night life. But the one thing that Vail Ski Resort does have is great snow: some 5,300 skiable acres with a seven-mile-long mountain face, 193 trails and not one but seven bowls.

As part of an upgrade, many of Vail’s boxy, 1970s-style facades and outdated streetscapes have been refreshed with a modern Bavarian look.
