My family just wrapped up a ski week at Northstar at the Hyatt. We loved the luxury condo and quieter feel of Northstar. I was concerned the mountain would be boring for my teenager but since his dad can’t keep up anymore, he actually preferred the smaller mountain because he was skiing more by himself and felt it was less overwhelming on his own. He enjoyed the black diamond runs and I worried less than if he were on a bigger mountain. So, my question……I have the Ritz Vail reserved for next year but am having second thoughts about him going off on Vail mountain on his own all day every day. We have skied Beaver Creek years ago and I remember it having the more upscale feel and groomed runs more similar to Northstar. Should I make a switch if I can? Stick with Vail? The other option would be Park City I guess. I am looking for a combination of luxury, easy access, and the best place for a teenager to roam the mountain on his own. I would consider coming back to Northstar but the Ritz here isn’t available right now and I don’t know how easy an interval trade into the hyatt would be for a second time.
