Great Place - Close to everything you need
This is a beautiful, comfortable, and conveniently-located place to stay for your ski trip to Beaver Creek & Vail... Epic Pass is good at both.
+ We didn't need to use our car all week. Park it and leave it. Parking cost is included with the condo, but be sure to register your license plate and get your parking pass approval right away.
+ Good restaurants are within easy walking distance, some right in the same building. We ate at both Nozawa (Asian) and Gondola Pizza; both were excellent. (A local teenager recommended Gondola to me as his favorite pizza place in town.)
+ City Market grocery store is just across the street. Good selections. Good prices. So much more cost-effective than going out for every meal; plus, the kitchen is great. A quick breakfast and then off the catch the shuttle to ski.
+ The Avon bus system runs like clock-work. It's all free. Just Google Avon Skier Shuttle and download the schedule. There are 4 types Avon buses: Ski, Blue, Red, and Restaurant. Ski & Blue stop right across the Parking Lot at the "Chapel Square" stop, which is near the beginning of the pick up run, so you'll always get a seat on the bus and not have to stand, like what always happens for the later pick up stops. You'll also be one of the first off the bus at the end of the day. To get to Vail, get of the Avon bus at Avon Station, stay right there for the "BC - Vail shuttle" (white top, bluish purple bottom) to Vail. Vail has two stops, Lionshead Transit Center & the main Vail Transportation Center. Get off at either, but at the day end, get on at Lionshead so you get a seat. Once back to Avon, get off at Avon Station and then to get back to Chapel Square quicker, take the Blue line instead of the Ski bus.
+ After a day on the slopes, the SkyRun Chapel Square steam room is great, a very clean and well-kept facility. It's located on the 3rd floor, on the exact opposite end of the building from your room. Start it up 20 minutes or more before you want to use it, to warm it up.
+ What a great week. I miss being there already.
