sometimes you can call Vail direct and its cheap, they will haggle a little over the phone. 

Also, orbitz is prertty good I think.

I would either go to the vail website or call them  they will haggle cause they dont have to pay a vacation person a spiff.

honestly, if you have a family travel agent that you have used before and can trust, just tell them what you want and they will do all the work and deal with bargain hunting...if not im not sure, but vail is an awesome town so youll have fun no matter what you end up doing

we are going to talk to a few travel agents later.  I've been to Vail before, but I was in 6th grade, so I really didn't get to enjoy the skiing as much because I wasn't very good yet, so I look forward to going back out there.

If you dont go through an agent, make sure you buy the tickets off the vail website like at least 2 weeks before.  Tickets were like $85 at vail and bever creek and 81 at breck/keystone last year but if you bought online they were like 60 some.  Im sure if you do go through an agent the prices will be about the same for the tickets.

Howabout you bring brews and I let you sleep on my floor/couch. 

I've got a huge house in Eagle-Vail.  (ten minutes away)

I only charge a 6pack (of good microbrews) a night..  Or the Package deal: 1six and a fifth of Jager for a week (5 days)

*averaging about 8$ nightly or

5.50 a night if you stay for 5 days!



Boom.. aren't I just the best business man?


But seriously,  I've got a huge house and can tele like a motherfucker, so come on by.

    Dude, Aspen is over rated.  I go every year for the X-Games.  Vail is going to be the sickest little village.  There doing like a Billion dollar renavation.  Wait until thats done.
