THE DAY AFTER THE MOUNTAIN CLOSED - Vail Mountain and Beaver Creek Mountain closed for the season yesterday.  Closing Day revellers found 12" to 15" of new snow and crystal clear blue skies - until 11:00am.  Then, near blizzard conditions closed the back bowls and drove many off the mountain.  This is a typical closing day reminicent of 18 of 20 past closing days.  We'll most likely have FEET of new snow now through May - another reason you won't find many Locals in the office for awhile.  The beach sounds pretty good right now!                                                                                                        PHOTO:  Nilsson Images   04/15/2013

A FOGGY MORNING IN THE VAIL VALLEY -        Hmmm... this is interesting.  Fog is a very rare event here - happens only once or twice a year.  A nice heavy rain last night wiped out any last hint of snow here in the lowlands but no doubt dumped lots of nice late season snow on Vail mountain.        This is kind of a nice change.  We are now in the last three weeks of ski season 2012 -2013.  I'm looking forward to summer!                                                                                                                                        Photo:  Nilsson Images     03/31/2013

It's a Mountain Dog thing... you wouldn't understand. Meet Miss Maude.  Maude is a Chow-mix my husband and I adopted in Savannah, GA ten years ago.  Maude is a lucky mountain dog now, living in the Vail Valley of Colorado.  She loves being a mountain dog, and thanks her lucky stars with all that fur she didn’t get stuck in the hot, humid south.  She even gets to go to work with her “mom and dad” on occasion. At the office today, Maude begged me to head out into Vail Village to sport her new leash, a Slifer Smith & Frampton Real Estate logo leash.  Maude loves being a mountain dog so much that if she could talk, I swear she’d sell a house a week.  No one could resist her tales of how great the mountain lifestyle is!   01/21/2013
