The Vail Valley Challenge Cup will be held in the Vail Valley August 4th & 5th, 2008. The 2008 tournament will be the eighth consecutive year for the event. All USYSA non-premier teams (U11 through U14) and all U10 boys and girls teams are encouraged to compete in this Colorado event. All teams will play a minimum of three games. All teams have been given permission by CYS and WSSL to rearrange their league games to attend this Tournament.

Lodging for this event is open this year with teams being allowed to book directly at the condominium property or hotel of their choice. Properties such as Beaver Creek West in Avon (adjacent to the Avon fields) is one such option.

Epic Season Pass

At $579 for an adult and $279 per child this is the best skiing value available for Vail and Beaver Creek in years. Many of the Epic Passes have been printed and delivered by mail to the pass holders. You should have this pass even if you are only planning one holiday week in Eagle County.

Some locals find that the relaxed, glowing days of summer are preferable to the snowy, bleak winter days where snow no longer means that school is closed or work is skipped. Colorado is definitely its own brand of heaven around this time, and “summer vacation” for many, is this time after the season, in April and May, before the golden days really set in.
