The Town of Vail is hosting two full weekends of oom pah parties, lively demonstrations and traditional German fare in Lionshead and Vail Village. Festivities include brat-eating and Wolverine Keg Bowling contests, yodeling and alpine horn blowing, and Bavarian dancing. Oktoberfest is two full weekends the whole family will enjoy.

Each contestant receives two attempts to push an empty beer keg (affixed to a rolling dolly) into a pyramid of six empty kegs. The announcer adds up the fallen kegs and then tallies up all participants total numbers. The highest total from each round advances to the finals. The winner of the finals recieves a handsome prize!

Colorado Summer Vacation- This Years’ Affordable Option for Family Fun!
Surrounding the luxurious ski resorts of Aspen, Vail, Beaver Creek, and Breckenridge, is four season outdoor sporting heaven. There is plenty of hiking and rugged backcountry trails to occupy any athlete. There is ice climbing, white water rafting, golfing , fly fishing, and motor sports. 4×4’s, ATV’s ,Dirt Bikes, and mountain biking are very popular. Renting a vacation condo in the late spring, summer, and early fall are great times to enjoy the best of these activities. Skiing ,ice skating, snowboarding, and snowmobiling draw crowds from all over the world to Colorado during the winter season.
Rental condos, cabins and houses are less expensive during the ski off season. During ski season, the condo rentals, and vacation homes near the slopes are booked four months in advance. Vail ski in and ski out rentals are often the most precious during ski season, but in the off season, these amazing accommodations provide you with the close proximity to most of the activities you enjoy. Aspen offers some high end accommodations as well, and if you are spending a day in the great outdoors, you may want to come back to a vacation rental that has a great view, a soft bed, a full kitchen, and multiple bathrooms, not to mention high end furnishings that provide you with a real feeling of being pampered on vacation.
Beaver Creek offers a cozy village with great river access. Beaver Creek features year round ice skating in the village, a race series for running enthusiasts, hummer tours, ballooning, zip line tours, jeep tours, and horseback riding. Vacation rentals in Beaver Creek and Breckenridge are traditionally less expensive than Vail and Aspen, and large cabin rentals are easier to locate and reserve.
Breckenridge has opened the Breckenridge Fun Park that offers a variety of great activities for kids and adults. This includes gemstone panning, a trampoline with a harness for super jumps, and a huge maze. Breckenridge also has an arcade and skate park. Breckenridge is really an affordable family vacation choice during the summer when beautiful mountain view condo rentals or cabins rentals are at a reduced rate, and sleep a large number of guests. Children will enjoy additional features like the children’s museum, children’s concerts series, and paddle boat rentals.
