点评:As a ski mountain Vail is great - huge amount of runs for all skill levels. But for a place to bring kiddos its not so easy and there's limited things to do beyond skiing compared to other mountains. Lions Head has a top of the mountain magic carpet that was fun, and a "discovery center" yurt that has a few things in it. And Golden Peak has a few other magic carpets but takes some walking/shuttling to if you are not staying at that location.
While touted as "ski-in, ski-out", it's probably better to state that Vail is "walk a lot, ski, walk a lot". Most people use ski/boot storage services to avoid the extensive walking. But realize that shuttle service requires a long walk to get from the bus stop to the lifts. It's not convenient unless you store your gear near the mountain. So be forewarned if you go, either get a place near the lifts, or get a boot/ski storage place near the lifts to save all the walking in your boots!
We tried a lot of the famous places in town for dinner, and they were good, but most seem overrated in terms of quality, service, or value. And plan on making reservations or you may not be able to find anything, which is another hassle with Vail. And overall service seems to be spotty, with a bit of an attitude. The staff at most places seems to be harried, i.e. customers are a hassle, and waiting is the norm. Thanks Vail.
Knowing the above, we will probably look at other mountains next time before heading back to Vail.
翻译:作为一座滑雪山,韦尔非常棒——拥有大量适合各种水平的滑雪道。但对于带孩子来滑雪的人来说,这并不容易,而且与其他山脉相比,除了滑雪之外,这里可做的事情有限。狮子头山的山顶有一条有趣的魔毯,还有一个“探索中心”蒙古包,里面有一些东西。金峰山还有其他几条魔毯,但如果您不住在该位置,则需要步行/乘坐班车前往。
虽然被吹捧为“滑雪进出”,但最好说韦尔是“步行很多,滑雪,步行很多”。大多数人使用滑雪/靴子寄存服务来避免大量步行。但要知道,班车服务需要从公交车站到缆车走很长一段路。除非您将装备存放在山附近,否则不方便。所以如果您去的话,请注意,要么找一个靠近缆车的地方,要么找一个靠近缆车的靴子/滑雪储存处,以免穿着靴子走路!
我们尝试了镇上很多有名的餐厅吃晚餐,它们都很不错,但大多数餐厅在质量、服务或价值方面似乎被高估了。计划好预订,否则你可能什么都找不到,这是韦尔的另一个麻烦。而且整体服务似乎不稳定,态度有点问题。大多数地方的员工似乎都很忙乱,也就是说,顾客很麻烦,等待是常态。谢谢韦尔。
了解了以上情况,我们下次可能会去看看其他山,然后再回到韦尔。
