Vail Diary

Earlier this month I had the pleasure of going on a family ski trip to Vail. It’s a place I’d grown up going to nearly every year since I was a little girl, so it was extra special to put Annabel on skis there for the first time. From family ski runs to fun dinners out - it was a trip for the books. Here’s my top list of things to do & see in Vail. Enjoy! xx Ashley

Best Skiing & Equipment : For the best equipment, Christie Sports is the place to go & check out Craneology for every kind of helmet. My all time favorite run this trip was Grand Review off of Pete’s Lift - a groomer dotted with trees. And Cloud 9 is also great with breathtakingly beautiful views. And the back bowls of course…

Best Après Ski: Nothing beats walking around post-card perfect Vail Village. The Red Lion & Pepi’s are standards, but I must say I loved hanging out by the fire at the Remedy bar at the Four Seasons.

Best Shopping: I’ve always loved Gorsuch for super luxe and European inspired skiwear. Perch is a new favorite and happens to carry ASHA along with other brands like Veronica Beard and Dodo Bar Or. Kemo Sabe is amazing for one-of-a kind cowboy hats and western finds.

Best Eats: We had an incredible meal at Matsuhisa named after the celebrity chef from Nobu. Frame at the Four Seasons was also outstanding if you like red meat. Sweet Basil is a classic and its new sister restaurant Mountain Standard are both to die for. If you’re on the slopes - Two Elk Lodge is the place to be.
