☃️ PLACE: THE FOUR SEASONS, VAIL
The luxury resort of Vail, Colorado
By Iona Paulet
Founded in 1962, Vail, Colorado, is home to world-famous skiing, Bavarian-inspired architecture, neighborhoods and inspiring mountain views. Scenic and welcoming, Vail offers a variety of exciting outdoor recreation activities, festivals and year-round events. Travelers visit Vail year after year to enjoy its eye-popping panoramas, incredible foodie scene and European resort vibes, even more so now that it is part of the Epic Pass, offering the possibility to travel to other famous European ski destinations.
With a width of 7 miles (11 kilometers), Vail Mountain offers 5,317 acres (2,141 hectares) of terrain, and 31 chairlifts with 195 runs. The world-famous Back Bowls hold even more opportunities for never-ending turns in deep powder.
The seven bowls include the Sun Down Bowl, Sun Up Bowl, Tea Cup Bowl, China Bowl, Siberia Bowl and Inner and Outer Mongolia Bowls. These runs are more challenging than some found on the front side of the mountain, but experienced skiers will relish the striking views that come with the challenge. After a day spent hitting the slopes, Indulge in the quintessential alpine après-ski experience with Four Seasons’ famous haute chocolate for two. Bustling with guests and locals fresh off the hill, The Remedy Bar remains one of Vail Village’s better kept secrets! Whether you’re looking for al fresco dining in the shadow of Vail Mountain or cozy fireside snacking, you’ll find options for every occasion and palate at this week’s ski resort.
In the heart of the Colorado Rockies, Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail is located just steps from high-end restaurants and shopping at Vail Village. Arrive directly into the Vail Valley and allow your vacation to start the moment you land. Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE), located just 45 minutes from Vail, offers nonstop service by American, Delta, United and other carriers to several cities throughout the US year-round. Daily flights to Denver International Airport (DIA) are also available year-round.
Throughout The Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail, natural elements grace every wall, ceiling and floor, a signature style of the brand and one embraced by interior decorator Brayton Hughes. The resort has an easy elegance that makes it feel like it has been around for a long time. Perhaps it’s because of its classic alpine-lodge style, natural hickory wood accents and warm limestone that adorn the floor, walls, furniture and fireplaces…or maybe it’s the palette of comforting browns, beiges, reds and golds.
Some exclusive services & amenities:
Year-round pool: Tucked within a sunken courtyard, the heated outdoor pool welcomes you for a dip every day of every season. Loungers and two spa tubs invite you to rest and rejuvenate.
Ski concierge: The Four Seasons’ Ski Concierge building is located in the heart of Vail Village, near Gondola One and the ticketing counter for Vail Mountain, providing you with a ski-in – ski-out experience.

The main level of Ski Concierge has a lounge and includes coffee and refreshments while the bottom floor of the chalet is home to Gorsuch rental services.

☃️ PERSON: SIMON PERVIS
Executive Chef of Four Seasons, Vail
Inspired by the culinary tastes of the Resort’s international clientele, with a nod to the restaurant’s Rocky Mountain roots, the Flame Restaurant at Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail introduces a dramatically reimagined menu.
The new, sophisticated mix of dishes offers signature menu items including the Sinaloa Spicy Aguachile, Crispy Apple and Watercress Salad, Portuguese Bacalao Potato Cakes, the “Après Pow for Two” Chipotle and Miso Baked Alaskan Cod and Taste of Colorado Rockies carving plate, plus an exceptional selection of caviar. Over the course of more than 30 years in hospitality, Purvis has skipped from Switzerland to Bali, Scotland to Melbourne, and across the United States. His passion for culinary travel began while taking family trips through France and northern Spain.
“The fresh baguettes, cold cuts, aromatic wines and especially the seafood really opened my eyes. I knew I needed a career that would allow me to travel.”
