Vail is near the eastern border of Eagle County, on I-70.

I'm working on replacing the Vail locator map with the map of Eagle County at the right. It looks right in Konqueror, Mozilla, and Internet Explorer. How about other browsers? dbenbenn | talk 00:51, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Who / What company owns this resort? Do they own Keystone, Breckenridge, Arapaho Basin & Beaver Creek as well? -Labenset (to lazy to login)

And why is their bearly anything about skiing? Banana04131 17:34, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

As a contributor I'd recommend spell check and reading up on NPOV (Neutral Point Of View) at: Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. Bartonhall 23:12, 2 January 2006 (UTC)Bartonhall

[edit] Ski/Town split

What does everyone think about splitting the ski resort and town into two separate articles? Jameschipmunk 22:01, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Go for it. Nobody will complain. Zzz345zzz
Sounds like a good idea to me as a town of Vail employee GraileVail

[edit] Addition of External Link

Hello all,

I've been one to argue about external links and whether or not they should be included in articles. That being said, I figured I'd pose my argument before anyone deleted a new link.

I'd like to add VailPM.com to Vail's external links. The site is a huge resource for the entire Vail Valley. It contains an interactive directory of all the businesses and goings on in and around Vail, as well as a constantly updated calendar, photos and video from around town, and a forum for users to discuss the Valley. The site is extremely useful for both locals and visitors alike, and I think it would be a great addition for those looking to learn about Vail and the Vail Valley. I'm going to add the link now, and if anyone doesn't agree I'd be happy to discuss.

Thanks!

[edit] "Stay" section

The "Stay" section consists only of this: Exclusive Vail Rentals [1] provides luxury vacation home rentals throughout Vail and the surrounding area. 800.630.8402.

Surely this is advertising, something Wikipedia does not want to promote. If this must be in here AT ALL, then the phone number should be deleted AND the word "luxury" removed, as it is pure propaganda. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.243.240.4 (talk) 18:18, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
