We've been in Vail since Sunday - staying in Lionshead at the Arrabelle.

It is very warm - in the 40's - on Monday it snowed higher up, freezing rain in the middle mountain and actually rained at the base. Yesterday morning was great - sun out, 8" new snow higher up and terrific conditions where groomed; but in the afternoon the snow was heavy and like skiing through paste on the way down. Think spring. Today is forecast to be warm also and then it will be cooling off some - hopefully they will get more snow and colder temps by the time you arrive next week, Pam.

We enjoyed Centre V the other night - had read mixed reviews but the food and service were very good. There is a gelato place, Rimini, in the Arrabelle complex - delicious!
