The Town of Vail Colorado has a population of about 5,000 residents and is part of a string of small towns along the 1-70 corridor that include Avon, Eagle and the Beaver Creek ski area. The area operates the largest free bus system in the US and is very pedestrian and bicycle oriented. Vail is also one of the top ski destinations in North America. It architectural focus is on creating a swiss/rustic mountain setting with attention to detail and lots of public art. Hope you enjoy.

 

NOTE: These picture where taken during the middle of October which is the heart of the off season, so crowds were light (mainly locals), plus I try and take pictures without people.

Thanks for looking.

I know that Vail is a hangout for the rich (or am I thinking of Aspen? I get all of those high-end ski resorts mixed up), but some of that faux-Alpine architecture looks downright cheap. I guess this is further proof that money doth not buyeth good taste.

Wow.  I haven't been there in over 15 years but it looks a HELL of a lot better than it did.  Well done!
