Today I finally made it on time for my bus and headed to Vail. I knew the mountain pretty well but Vail really is my favorite place to ski in Colorado.

Started the day a bit later then I hoped, bud got caught up in traffic. Not at all uncommon for the weekend. Got on the first lift around 10AM and took a selfie. Got warmed up on a blue run and was feeling good, even my rental skis seemed to be in good shape so I decided to hit the LEGENDARY back bowls.

The back bowls are definitely more advanced skiing than the rest of the mountain and I probably wouldn’t have done them at all if I didn’t think my rentals were up for the task but they were thankfully and had a good couple runs on the bowls before heading to lunch at Vendettas.

Really can’t beat vendettas in vail if your looking for a cheap bite, 5$ a slice. Had two slices and two beers and paid 30 after a 20% tip.

This is a picture of some of my favorite runs on the whole mountain. Love them all. But gotta give a special shoutout to my favorite.

Definitely a more difficult blue, has moguls but it’s my favorite. Has a nice tree line and is well groomed. Vail really is the best in my opinion, can’t believe it was my first time here this season. Gotta go back at least once before the end of the season. Will say that the traffic jam and price makes it something I don’t want to do all weekend. I left at 6AM and probably won’t be home till 7:30 PM. It’s a whole day, sure I could go out still but I’m usually exhausted, I doubt I’ll go anywhere today unless I’m invited and even then I’d have to consider saying no. Even though it’s a pain sometimes I never regret making this trip.
