Vail Village-Lionshead Ski Season’s Best Family Lodging
Vail is not known for it’s cheap accommodations and McDonald’s resturants. In fact Vail Village and Lionshead are a high end world class ski resort with the finest shops, gourmet resturants,entertainment, ski slopes, ski instructors, homes and condos. Ski tickets are never cheap and reduced rates on them rarely save you more than $5 per person. Vail and Lionshead are in high demand and every year regardless of the economy, huge numbers of skiers and snowboarders flock to the mountain to test their skills. There are great ski instructors and ski schools in Lionshead and Vail Village that draw many families as well.
Large ski groups such as college students, families, extended families, couples travelling with friends, all look for great lodging near the Riva Bahn Express, Vista Bahn Express and the Eagle Bahn Gondola. There are many hotels in those areas, but many more lovely privately owned condos that have wonderful views of the mountains. In fact these condos are quite large and have patios with gas grills. Most large groups realize that getting several hotel rooms right next door to each other is not only expensive, but inconvenient. The best lodging for groups of three or more is always the private vacation condo rental.

These homes have everything you need for your family and will often even have simple things like salt and pepper shakers, napkins, papertowel and dish soap. Your family can easily save money on dinners which can be $35 on an average per person in the local resturants.
The nice things about condos is that some have private hot tubs, or shared in the community, they may also have washer and dryers, swimming pools, ski lockers, saunas, and did I mention Washer and Dryers?
