Vail National Safety Awareness Week
By Liz | January 14, 2010
NATIONAL SAFETY AWARENESS WEEK RETURNS TO VAIL MOUNTAIN BEGINNING SATURDAY, JAN. 16
• “Put a lid on it” theme ties in with Vail Resorts’ new helmet initiative for employees, kids snowsports lessons
VAIL, Colo. – Jan. 13, 2010 – Vail Mountain employees are again gearing up for National Safety Awareness Week, Jan. 16-22, 2010, a week chock full of activities aimed at highlighting the safety efforts that occur daily at the resort. Vail Mountain has been recognized by the National Ski Areas Association (NSAA) for its safety awareness efforts for 10 consecutive years.
During National Safety Awareness Week at Vail, guests are encouraged to participate in various events and activities during National Safety Awareness week at Vail, which are designed to raise awareness of safety initiatives on the mountain as well as measures that can be taken to help reduce certain elements of risk while skiing and snowboarding.
The focus of this season’s campaign at Vail, “Put a lid on it,” ties in to Vail Resorts’ overall commitment to skier and snowboarder safety and the recent helmet initiative, requiring all employees to wear a helmet when skiing or riding on the job. Additionally, all children ages 12 and under who participate in a group lesson are also required to wear a helmet, and helmet use is strongly recommended for all guests, regardless of age or ability.
“We’ve stepped up our commitment to safety this season with the helmet initiative at Vail Mountain and at our sister resorts. It’s only natural that we set the example for all who enjoy skiing and riding at Vail,” said Bob Cox, Manager, Vail Mountain Yellow Jacket Program. “As always, National Safety Awareness Week is an opportunity to raise awareness about skier and rider safety and the programs and initiatives that take place everyday on Vail Mountain.”
Guests and employees alike are encouraged verbally and through signage and advertisements across the mountain to know and abide by “Your Responsibility Code” as well as the Colorado Ski Safety Act. Employees will also have the opportunity to communicate various NSAA programs and messages to guests, such as “Objects are Closer Than They Appear,” “ASAP - Avalanche Safety Awareness Program,” “Smart Style - Freestyle Terrain Safety Initiative” and “GET SMART - Freestyle Terrain Users Guide.”
From the base areas to Vail’s highest elevations, guests will notice a heightened presence of Vail Ski Patrol and Yellow Jacket personnel and an added emphasis on safety enforcement, which includes revoking skier days for safety violations. Safety enforcement occurs on a daily basis at Vail and has resulted in more than 1,000 revoked skier days so far this season.
Guests are also encouraged to pick up the Pork Chop, Vail Mountain Safety Pig and Henry the Vail Ski Patrol Avalanche Dog trading cards. Both trading cards highlight the seven points of “Your Responsibility Code” in a fun take-away for both kids and adults. The trading cards will be distributed during Safety Week at the base areas, through Yellow Jacket and Ski Patrol personnel and at many events throughout the week. Yellow Jackets will also be recognizing guests who are following the seven steps of “Your Responsibility Code,” and entering them in a drawing. Three lucky winners will receive a combination of lift tickets and lunch on Vail Mountain.

Beaver Creek Master Development Plan Update
By Liz | January 6, 2010
The Beaver Creek Ski Area and U.S. Forest Service will host a Jan. 7 master plan open house at 5 p.m. at the Avon Public Library, 200 Benchmark Road.
By Bob Berwyn
SUMMIT COUNTY — Skier visits at Beaver Creek have soared during the past 10 years, so the resort and the U.S. Forest Service want to update the ski area master plan. After some early talks with the Avon town council and homeowner groups at Beaver Creek, the next step is a Jan. 7 open house to get feedback from the public at large.
Some of the projects included in the Beaver Creek Master Development Plan Update are future expansion opportunities, upgrades to existing lifts, a women’s downhill course and new guest service facilities.
Beaver Creek is currently operating under its original master plan, dating back to environmental documents written in 1976. Forest Service rules require periodic master plan updates at ski areas. The master plan serves as a seven to 10 year vision document, said Don Dressler, acting district ranger for the Eagle?Holy Cross district.
“It’s time, Dressler said, referring to the age of the existing plan. “The original was really good. It served its purpose,” said, adding that the resort has built out nearly all of the improvements covered under the current plan.
Once the master plan is complete, the resort and agency can do site-specific analysis and environmental studies for individual components of the plan.
With Beaver Creek making a bid for the 2015 Alpine skiing world championships, part of the master plan update includes development of a women’s downhill course. The current course doesn’t quite meet international specifications for top-level World Cup and FIS races, so the ski area would regrade parts of the existing terrain and remove some trees to improve the venue.
Dressler said that, from the Forest Service standpoint, the most interesting part of an analysis for the downhill course improvements would be looking at impacts to lynx habitat from work in the spruce-fir forests high on the mountain.
Other than that, the early discussions have focused on “minor improvements and terrain additions here and there,” all within the ski area’s existing special use permit with the Forest Service.
For example, Chair 6, the Centennial Chair, is nearing the end of its lifespan. Since that lift operates year-round, the resort may want to consider replacing it with a six-pack, a gondola or a combination of both, Dressler said.
Master plans for ski areas under permit with the Forest Service used to be based on a formal environmental review process under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). A few years ago, the agency changed course to create a more informal process for the plans.
Top recreation experts with the agency, as well as ski industry leaders, said the new master plan process is more flexible, enabling resorts to meet market demands more efficiently. As well, the resorts and the Forest Service can focus resources on evaluating those project that actually will move toward implementation.
The change wasn’t without controversy. At the time, some critics and industry watchdogs said the new process was like handing over a blank check for projects that could have unforeseen and unwanted impacts. But so far, it seems to be working well.
“Even though its not a NEPA study, its good to get the upfront feedback,” Dressler said, crediting White River National Forest Supervisor Maribeth Gustafson with encouraging public involvement during the early phases of planning.

Vail Daily - D’oro
By Liz | December 17, 2009
click to read Vail Daily article
VAIL VALLEY, Colorado — Arriving at D’Oro in Colorado’s Vail Valley is like walking into the home of a good friend. The feeling is warm, friendly and unpretentious with a large half-moon bar, two intimate dining rooms and large bay windows that open to views of the ski area.
D’Oro, a new Italian dining experience from the owner of Ti Amo, is located on Offerson Road in Beaver Creek, in the Charter, in the space that TraMonti inhabited before.
While the D’Oro concept of a comfortable dining atmosphere and good value is similar to Ti Amo, the cuisine at the two restaurants is very different.
“Ti Amo’s recipes are from Verona in Northern Italy and based on white wine sauces,” says Ti Amo and D’Oro owner Steve Neglar. “Italian food varies so much by region in Italy and after traveling to Florence with Paulo (Busi, the restaurant’s manager) we thought it would be fun to open a Tuscan-style restaurant with a California cuisine flair.”
When you enter D’Oro, you’ll be greeted by Busi, who you will recognize as the face of Ti Amo. Busi is not just the manager at D’Oro, but a window to the unique menu items served each day. His passion for the chef specials and exotic cocktails builds anticipation for the culinary experience that awaits.
“The idea behind D’Oro is to be excited about food,” Busi said. “The food is Italian, but it doesn’t fit the mold of your typical Italian fare and we don’t want it to. The chef is amazing. He uses unique ingredients that gives the food its own personality.”
Citrus Flavors
The chef at D’Oro, Marshall Blanchard, is well known from the Golden Eagle in Beaver Creek. Blanchard’s style makes you think about what you’re eating. His dishes offer contrasting flavors that are light and fresh — a delicate combination that challenges the eater.
Like the insalata melone e ricotta salada that has an array of sweet and tart flavors with contrasting textures of arugula, watermelon, ricotta salada, cured olives and carmelized lemon vinaigrette with crispy pancetta.
“I like to use unique ingredients that are surprising,” Blanchard said. “Most people don’t know that northern Italian food uses a variety of citrus flavors. I use a lot of orange- and lemon-infused sauces on the current menu.”
The result is creative with the Tuscan Italian theme playing a supporting role to Blanchard’s elegant combination of flavors.
Before nestling in to the dining room, find a seat at the bar and experience one of D’Oro’s exotic cocktails. The martini menu offers an array of Italian-themed drinks like the “Fiorentini Negroni” martini with Grey Goose, Bombay Sapphire, Campari, dry vermouth and tonic. The “Limoncello” martini’s slightly sweet, but complex flavors feel like you’re having dessert before you even look at the menu.
The bar menu that allows you to sample some of the chefs creations while enjoying “happy hour” deals from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. that include $5 drinks with premium well spirits like Jack Daniels, Finlandia and Herrardura and house wines by the glass.
From the bar menu try the chef’s choice bruschetta, which might include seared ahi tuna over a lemon arugula gremolata topped with fried capers and micro basil all served on lightly toasted housemade bread. Cozze con Pernod (Mussels) sauteed in a Pernod sauce over crusty bread was smooth and rich. If you want something heartier try the ribollita soup and the fettucine bolognese.
Clear heads
The updated dining area has vaulted ceilings with dark red painted walls and large bay windows that frame the ski mountain.
On the primi piatti dinner menu you’ll find enticing pasta dishes like the house made fettucine di vedura with delicata squash, wild mushrooms, roasted peppers and sage with shaved grana padano ($22). The dish is light, simple and sophisticated with the bright, nutty flavors of each roasted vegetable shining through the fettucine, which stands on its own and has a slightly al dente bite. You’ll find some traditional favorites on the menu like a risotto and piccata di vitello.
Blanchard served us the crispy skinned Colorado bass with roasted fennel, orange brodo, polenta and arugula ($26). The crisp skin and perfectly cooked fish really came to life in a light lemon buerre blanc-based orange broth set on top of creamy polenta hidden under wilted greens. I made a note to myself to try and recreate the roasted fennel, which had a surprisingly sweet, caramel-like smoky flavor.
For dessert try the flourless chocolate espresso cake ($8) or if you ate too much during dinner like I did, there’s the vanilla seville orange panna cotta and strawberry soup ($8), which the chef insisted “is easier to make then many people think.”
For the finale, if you’re really brave, have Busi recommend a grappa to help digest your meal. Believe me, you don’t know grappa until you’ve tried the grappa poli, a pear grappa that is supposed to miraculously clear the head upon waking the next day.
At the end of the evening you’ll feel sated and well taken care of. The restaurant’s logo, “Heart of Gold,” aptly describes the vision that Neglar and Busi have created at D’Oro. It’s all about the dedicated people behind the vision.
“We chose a team that works well together where each personality can shine through — from the chef to the wait staff and that makes our customers feel welcome,” says Busi.
