Today, let's ski The Legendary Back Bowls of Vail - Game Creek, Sun Down, Sun Up, Tea Cup, China, and Siberia. Subdued start to New Years Day 2021 at Vail Ski Resort in Colorado. The previous night's celebrators are taking their time getting out of bed. Eerily quiet at the top of the mountain with bright morning sunlight. clear blue skies, and long shadows. There's even some fog clinging to the valleys. The cold crunch and squeak of the freshly groomed snow surface sounds out loudly in the absence of voices. As the sun rises in the sky, so do the skiers and riders rise from their slumber and make it to the slopes. By mid-morning, the sounds of guests sliding, gliding, and riding can be heard all over the mountain. You might want to wear your sunglasses while you watch this, since it's a bright, bright bluebird day. Down in the valley, Vail Village is bustling with crowds and activity. People are glad to get out and enjoy life.
