[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm from Italy and have only skiied in Europe, which I love because my preferred skiing day is: wake up and have delicious hotel/chalet breakfast, ski for a couple of hours, stop for coffee on the mountain, ski for an hour, stop for long lunch on the mountain - pasta, wine, etc - ski again for a couple of hours, have afternoon tea in town/back in the chalet, get back to hotel/chalet and go in hot tub/sauna/pool, then have dinner, go to some bars afterwards or have drinks with friends at chalet. 
My understanding is that American skiing is much more serious - more skiing, less eating and drinking. Which towns, if any, out west, have what I want?[/quote]

That;s been my entire ski experience and I've only ever skied on the east coast (smaller resorts) and one time in Tahoe (which was awesome)

There is a LOT of that vibe in US skiing[/quote]

Aren’t lift tickets more reasonably priced in Europe?  If somebody is dropping a ton of money to travel and ski a few days at one of the Vail-owner resorts, it makes sense  that they’d want to get in as much time skiing as they can. [/quote]

I focus more on skiing than coffee, wine, lunch...etc.  The skiing's expensive and the cheap food- pizza, burgers, nuggets- i.e. the stuff kids want, is expensive too.  Cost about $100 to eat crap food at a U.S. ski resort.  I can't imagine what real food costs.  That's why we have a big breakfast and pack granola bars and snacks for the day.  Will come in to warm up with a coffee or cocoa.  While I like wine and beer, don't really enjoy them while skiing.  [/quote]
