Congrats again on landing your job. I'll have to drop in on that shop the next time we're out to GJ.
Hope you don't mind my chiming in, but I echo your opinion about Vail. Although it's been a decade since my last visit, Vail always was like the Disney World of skiing, a corporation's idea of a town. Plus, there are almost zero laid back visitors in Vail. A ditch between awesome mountains and I-70.
Aspen is more of a community, with year round activities, just out of my price league today. Among winter resort communities, I think I like Park City best, with skiing at Alta. But there is something cool about my place in the Adirondacks. Very cool in fact, sometimes 30 below.
