Being timeshare owners we traded in the 1st week of February and we are having an awesome powder week so far. The check in was smooth and easy and the staff very friendly. Parking on the other hand was another story. You have 2 options, one you can park on a lower parking lot or two you can pay $10 a day and park in the heated underground parking. We thought we would save some money and park outside. To get to this parking area you have do go down a level via a ramp. While this probably isn't an issue during warm weather, I wouldn't advise it during snowy weather. The ramp was snow packed and the lot appeared that it hadn't been plowed in 2 weeks. We got stuck in the deep snow instantly. Our first clue should have been several cars buried in snow banks and looked like they had't moved in weeks. BTW did I mention there is underground parking for $10 a day? We're doing that now. The studio that we have is big, comfortable, and everything works. They offer a shuttle service and it's great and gets you where you want to go. Beware of the driver he has a trigger attitude! I'm guessing it has something to do with a broken windshield and a automatic door with wiring that is hanging on the outside and has broken twice in 2 days??

After a great day of powder skiing we decided to hit the hot tub. First stop by the front desks and pick up some really nice towels. They have 2 tubs outside which is perfect except one of them is 84 degrees and didn't seem to get hot. We moved to the other one which was hot but hard to get into and is the dirtiest tub I've ever been in. I stayed less that a minute worried of what kind of crude might be living in this tub. Oh well, we are here to ski, not hot tub.

Over all Vail Run is in need of some serious TLC (a.k.a. $$$) it's run down and in needs of lots of work. We have stayed at many resorts around the world so sometimes you just take it in stride. Vail Run does have location, location, location!
