Ira Riklis continues about Vail:
So we did return that winter to Vail and have returned every winter since. I have skied exclusively in Vail for over 30 years now. The town is charming. The slopes are maintained superbly. The restaurants are wonderful and varied. The ski school, especially for children, is reputedly the finest in the world.
The whole vibe is less about “being there and seeing and being seen” than it is a family friendly environment that not only provides top notch skiing, but brings the whole family closer together. From time to time, Diana would agitate to relocate to Deer Valley in Utah where the ski concierge would put on and take off your ski boots; but I have never felt the need to ski anywhere else.
I expect that the rest of my skiing days will be spent in Vail.
