Have you been heading towards the Alps every winter to get some snow action? Need a change in scenery? Why not go somewhere different but where the skiing experience will be as exhilirating as back in Europe?

Why not go to Vail, Colorado.

Vail is America's largest and most famous single-mountain ski resort. It's so big that you can ski for a week without having to repeat a run. And there are trails for all levels.

To complement that great snow action, you need an equally impressive place to stay. In and around Vail are several elegant hotels. But The Lodge at Vail still outranks all of them as the best ski lodge in America.

Rather than describe its charms, I'll let the numerous accolades this lodge has received to do the talking:

Listed as one of the 500 Greatest Hotels in the World by Travel + Leisure.

Listed as the highest rated Ski Resort Hotel in North America by Condé Nast Traveler for 2004-2005.

On Condé Nast Traveler's Gold List, 2004-2005

Highest Rated Ski Resort in North America, 2004-2005 in DEPARTURES Magazine

Designated North America's Number One Resort by SKI magazine

Check out their specials for the best deal this winter.

Get your snow action in Vail this season!

Just posting a note to say the skiing is great here in Vail so far - I've been up 12 days so far and this week especially has been just great. The Lodge at Vail is a great resort, I highly recommend seeing the The Dickens Carolers also at the Lodge at Vail every night 9-10 - see them at least once, they can really sing some awesome harmony. You can check for available rooms at deals at the Lodge at Vail here also:

They're doing some construction close by, on the slope side of the Lodge but I think it's still ski-in ski-out there. -
