ski lift

Per your votes, we stopped off at Vail, Colorado to take in the local scenery. We spotted the ski lift at Lionshead Village and exposed ourselves to off-season tourism, Swedish clogs, and mad mountain bikers. The town is excessively cute and I see the appeal to snuggle up there and watch ski pro’s over a cup of hot cocoa during Winter. But during the Summer? Not so much. It has a slight air of retail desperation.

Again with the witty witticisms. I bow to your wordplay.

the retail sector spends so much toward leases in Vail, they are desperate. Did you go to the free Tuesday night concert ? Tonight is the last of the Hot Summer Nights series. Eek A Mouse is playing, irie ite
