Vail, Colorado, is Colorado’s premier mountain resort, with some of the world’s best skiing and riding. The mountain has nearly 5,300 skiable acres and consistently averages 350 inches of annual snowfall – more than most Colorado resorts. Beaver Creek, 10 miles down valley, provides an equally impressive ski experience. If Nordic skiing is your passion, our home is steps away from the Nordic Center and miles of groomed tracks. The summer is also spectacular – with perfect weather for golf (just steps away) and cycling and hiking right out the front door. The town is also home to a variety of upscale and casual restaurants. Vail also plays host to some wonderful sports, dance and music festivals, many at the Ford Ampitheater, which is less than one mile away.

Our family home, completely renovated in 2010, is located on a quiet, upscale cul-de-sac near the Vail Golf Course. Alpine and Nordic skiing, golfing, hiking and bicyling are literally right out the door. The home is backed by National Forest Land. The back deck is perfect for grilling (year-round) or relaxing in the summer sun.The free Vail shutlle to the mountain is less than a 5-minute walk and runs all year round -- every 30 minutes during winter peak times, so there is no need to drive. The ski area is about one mile to the west. Vail Village is also about a mile away -- and home to some wonderful shops, galleries and restaurants.

We are flexible on dates and locations -- always looking for a great cycling locale! Because this is a second home, we are open to non-simultaneous exchanges.

Open to any dates

Looking for a simultaneous or non-simultaneous exchange in Tucson area for the first two weeks of January 2013.

We are an active, outdoor family of four, who enjoy skiing, snowboarding, cycling and hiking. We live full-time in the Golden/Morrison area and this is a second home for our extended family. Our two boys "grew up" with the Vail Development snowboard team. Now that they are in college, we have more flexibility for exploring other areas of the U.S. and abroad.
