Lover's Leap, Pete's Bowl in Vail
Where do you recommend a rehearsal dinner, in September, for about 25-30 people?
Your post was a few months ago, but if you are still looking for a location for a rehearsal dinner or just want somewhere different for a smaller dinner....there is a new restaurant in town called - Blue Tiger. It is Latin/Asian cuisine and everyone is talking about it. Its located in Cascade Village near the Cascade Hotel.
Have Fun
The sheer beauty of the Rockies, the dry air, and the friendly people are just a few of my favorite things about Vail. Plus, it is very easy to explore the town. There is a free shuttlebus to take you to different stops, or you can simply walk.
The population of the town is 1,900, and it seems like all may be in retail trades. The strip is about one mile long, with one end being for stays and cabins/camping and the other has the retail shops. It is surrounded by the mountains from all ends but the south where US 70 cuts off any growth that way. So they keep building to the west. It is a nice place to visit and shop and some things to do is to go to the gold mine, or the mineral springs.
Lots of seats inside but the treat is eating outside on a warm sunny day. . The best view at Vail. Great soups and water is free . Their hamburgers are a bit dry but everything else is satisfactory. They do have a small ski shop where you can buy sun screen and lip balm.
The Back Bowls of Vail are my favourite area to ski. This area offers more challenging skiing (mostly black diamonds) and is even larger than the front side. It is made up of four "bowls": Sun Up, Sun Down, China and Siberia. It also has much less tree coverage, so one could ski practically anywhere. The scenery is quite amazing. Favourite runs include Over Yonder, Shangri-La and Chopstix. From the bottom of China Bowl, one can access Blue Sky Basin, which is another challenging area.
Vail is a village/town of approximately 8,000 residents. Extremely friendly. As one local put it, in Vail everyone is your friend.
The Vail Valley is about 160 miles west of Denver. With a backdrop of the Gore Range and the chalet style buildings, Vail resembles a Bavarian Village. The area is now well known for skiing. During the Second World War, the 10th Mountain Division trained at camp Hale and were instrumental in developing Vail as a ski area. In 1962, the slopes were first opened to the public. Present day Vail is known as a ski resort and the home of the World Alpine Ski Championship.
I was there for the opening of ski season, which is a very exciting time in Vail. The area has its share of summer and winter activities, but winter skiing and snowboarding is definitely at the top of the list.

Q: Best bar/brew pub in Vail? "A couple of buddies and I will be in Vail for one evening. We are looking to sample a variety of best beers. What are the..."
A: "There are no brewpubs in Vail. Vail is very small and very pretentious. It's a tourist ski town and caters to that sect. You'd think they would put in a novelty brewpub...."
