Marina Egorov – The Bag and Pack Shop, Vail, Colorado
With all the lamentations about the lack of snow this spring break, we thought we would review how fun a weekend in Vail, Colorado can be - plenty to see and do!
Start off your weekend by grabbing a lane at Bol, the upscale bowling alley right in the heart of the village. Drop the kids (or disinterested associates!) at the Solaris ice rink right outside for a lap or two, while you sample some of the fine mixed cocktails the barman has to offer. We love Pamm's Cup with all its syrupy goodness. Gather your crew and head to the bowling alleys in the back. Open from 2pm onwards and at $50 an hour per lane, you can have your food and drinks served as you bowl up a storm.
Now we are of the opinion that the skiing is still enjoyable, we may not be chest deep in powder and grabbing face shots all day; but sometimes a sunny Saturday spent skiing soft spring snow is all you really need. So bring out those lightweight layers and coats (see our previous post for suggestions) and enjoy Vail's end of season lift ticket specials.

After a day out in the sun and the subsequent nap, nothing beats an ice cold beverage, alcoholic or otherwise, and a delicious meal. While the evening away sampling the creations of the master chefs at Yama Sushi, Vail's newest sushi restaurant. Make sure to try the Black Widow Roll, if not for the scrumptious taste, for the exciting preparation - the topping of tuna is fire torched just before serving. Check out their menu for some more prime selections. Yama Sushi Menu
As a child, there was nothing I enjoyed more than a buffet. In fact, it is still the best part about being on vacation. All you can eat pastries, made to order omelets and bottomless fresh juices; who could ask for more? Enjoy your well earned tradition at Ludwig's Restaurant in the Sonnenalp Hotel in Vail Village.
Served from 7am to Noon on a Sunday, end off your weekend with an air of contentment as you stroll off your stuffed stomach around town, enjoying the end of season sales. And who knows, maybe even supporting some local businesses! We hope to see you this weekend...
