worth a season? hell no
worth a couple of storm cycles - maybe
Vail Season - Short, Cold, Crowded (Texans and Japanese)....expensive
Maybe if you have a high power sled, a big truck and a few good freinds with big machines, you could have fun for a season, but just skiing....hell no
I lived there for a while, and leaving was the best thing I could have done...if you want to make the most of a year off, go to Tahoe, Mammoth or Utah...anything less is a waste of your time. Not that Vail sucks, but it is not consistently good
