“Vail? Nah, it looks like the guy who designed Wendy's went nuts in this place.”

Fair enough.  I should have been more clear.  I've got lodging at Park Hyatt Beaver Creek and will have a car, so I guess tell me what to do in Vail / Beaver Creek area.

I checked the Vail Summer thread but found a lot of covid era discussion and decided to not muddy up that thread with a bump.

You don’t have to go to Vail.  Lots of good places in Avon and Edwards.  Check out Juniper in Edwards

I like getting pizza at Vendetta's at Vail.

We used to apres at Pepi's.  Rod Powell was entertaining as the acoustic singer -- he could play just about any song you could name.  He died of Covid.  Had a lot of good times at Pepi's
