I stopped in B. Creek/Vail for a day while passing through CO right after the ""big one"" of '06. I've skied Vail several times an chose to ski BC for the first time because I had two dogs with me and there is a place called ""Walkin The Dog"" in Avon that will entertain your dogs for the day. If you have dogs I HIGHLY recommend placing them there for day camp so you can ski an not concern yourself that your pets are nervous amidst the unfamiliar surroundings.
Pros: Great terrain, great customer service, nice snow, beauty...
Cons: Price, I-70 running through town, snooty locals/homeowners
