Until next winter arrives it's the off season in the Vail Valley - and most of us who live here think this is the greatest time of the year. As the trout image might suggest, our primary focus is on fly fishing information, but we also can help you with our Best of Vail ranking of restaurants, mountain dining, night life, shops, and summer trail hikes. If you're headed back this way next ski season be sure to read our winter guide. It has many helpful links, not only about Vail but with several reports on other ski resorts as well. Planning on dining out? Here are a series of detailed long time local's reviews of some of the more popular restaurants in the valley.
There's extensive ski area information in the winter months including a daily snow report , slope grooming, "What's Open Today", equipment suggestions, some ski tips, a skier's exercise program, and how to obtain private lesson ski instruction in Vail for visiting skiers. Here's a nice helmet cam movie of a wonderful powder bump day in January, 2011:
Off topic, but if you've ever thought about visiting Turkey, here's the detail of a 2011 trip to turkey (with video). Maybe Spain? Here's our 2012 fall trip write up. On a different note, how about a winter getaway to a beautiful townhome in Green Valley, Arizona? |
Many details related to our favorite activity of fly fishing are available including a daily log that's updated twelve months a year. This is the video of a Wyoming Cutt-Slam we did over four days in July, 2012:
Many of previous season's fishing trip videos are available at the bottom of our fly fishing home page. We hope you'll respect the mountain environment, and please practice catch and release on these streams - particularly since many trout populations are in decline because of whirling disease. A rating of local outfitters is also available. Planning on fishing the Eagle River? View our newly created Google map guide or the original access page and hatch chart for this popular local stream. A weekly statewide fishing report is provided during the summer months, and you can get an up to the minute forecast of weather conditions. Explore our page of successful local fly patterns. Traveling through the area you might enjoy trying some of these personal favorite and mildly offbeat dining spots. Check flow rates on all Colorado streams on a real time basis.
