One more reply .... if your girlfriend handled the greens and blues at Steamboat, she'll have no problem with Vail. Those making the claim that blues at Steamboat are fairly greenish - may have been thinking of the so-called "Wally World" part of the ski resort, which does contain very low angle blues that might be ranked green in another place. Vail has groomed trails on one side of their ridge, bowls which intermediates can ski on the other side of the ridge, and then ungroomed powder on the second ridge which is called Blue Sky Basin ..... I don't recommend you ski Blue Sky Basin ..... but you could possibly do the bowls Blue Sky basin has easy terrain as well as harder - there are are low-angle trails in there. One key difference between Blue Sky Basin and the Back Bowls is that BSB faces north, whereas the BBs face south. This means that the BBs can have spring conditions with heavier damper snow even in Febrary. This can make the bowls a lot harder to ski... I wouldn't stay away from BSB just on grounds of one's skill level. Hell, you can even get food there - just like anyplace else on Vail mountain. Dave |
