  • $9 beers
  • $30 nachos
  • Money grubbing Vail mentality permeating all aspects of village life
  • Empty mega mansions
  • Snooty nimbyism from the mayor
  • Overpriced 'outdoor' activities
Go visit Whistler for sure, do the touristy things, but it's fast becoming like every other Vail resort $$$$

Guess why they can charge this much, and continue to do so? Because it is awesome. I am sorry your pretty little ski town has evolved, but there is a reason for that...
