From my experience at both Beaver Creek and Deer Valley:Can you explain the "vibe"? I have not been to Vail, only Beaver Creek. You liked the terrain at BC or the vibe or both? I plan to ski Deer Valley next season or one after that. Would be good to know how it's different.
Deer Valley's customer service and food is incredible.
Beaver Creek is like a polished vail brand resort. Nothing special or different about the food or customer service, just a little nicer looking village and polished appeal.
This was actually an issue a few years ago when a ski instructor dropped his morning lesson off at mid mountain lodge, skied down to the base to get his lunch out of his locker. Half way down, he slid on the ice into some rocks and died (while in uniform). This was a boiler plate day, hard rain on snow and refreeze.well I know its not about liability...
"appearances" is what I have heard what ever that means.......
He was in uniform, but technically on his lunch break.
Sad all the way around.
