  • A Mission in the Eagle Valley - Vail with Chris Anthony
    Nov 14 2024

    Eagle Valley - Vail

    Perhaps the best known of American ski resorts, Vail is about 100 miles due west of Denver. Envisioned by Pete Siebert of the 10th Mountain Division, the mountain opened in December 1962. Today there is some of the best skiing on the planet on over 5,317 acres served by 32 lifts and 278 trails.

    My guest today is a legend – literally - we are pleased to have Chris Anthony join us. His love and passion for the sport is real and he skis 5-6 days a week on this hill. Aside from working at Vail Mountain for 38 years, in 2018, Chris was inducted into the Colorado Snowsports Hall of Fame and has since been inducted into the United States Army 10th Mt. Div Warrior Legend Hall of Fame.

    My Favs

    Best Runs - This is a hard call and really depends on the weather and grooming - Prima, Riva and Northstar on the front. Siberia Bowl on the back

    Restaurants - Pepis in Vail Village for the Austria flavor and fun. The Minturn Saloon in Minturn for the Margs and Mexican

    Dinner - the Eiger - the food is good, traditional Swiss - yes they have fondue and more. Oh yeah, its also reasonable in price.

    Apres - The Pickle Bar in Wengen or the Hutte in Kleine Scheigegg
