Eagle County Airport, used by American Airlines among others, lies just 35 miles from the resort. ail alley Transportation (phone 970/476-8008 or 1-800/882-8872) offers shuttles from the airport to ail for $32.

ail spreads for eight miles along the narrow alley floor, with successive adjoining villages from east to west at ailvillage, Lionshead, Cascade village and West ail.

The entire complex is pedestrianized ; there's no charge for the parking lots in summer, and ail Buses run free year-round shuttles (phone 970/328-8143).

Eating out can also prove expensive. Jackalope in West ail Mall (phone 970/476-4314) is a lively saloon and pool hall serving basic food (entrees around $9), and vendetta's, 291 Bridge St in ail village (phone 970/476-5070), offers fine Italian lunch specials and pasta dinners (around $15).

Nightlife revolves around The Circuit on Bridge Street, ail village. Most people tour between the bars and discos.
