hmm[edit]

That last paragraph in "Ski area information" seems a little biased?

Resort Size[edit]

This Wikipedia article on Vail says "Vail Mountain is the third largest resort in North America (after Whistler Blackcomb and Big Sky Ski Resort) at over 5200 acres."

According to the Wikipedia article on Big Sky Ski Resort, Big Sky has 3,600 skiable acres. According to Wikipedia's article on Heavenly, Heavenly has 4,800 skiable acres. I believe the order of largest ski resorts should read Whistler Blackcomb, Vail, and then Heavenly.

Ratings[edit]

"Vail has been the number one ski resort in the United States 14 times in a 17 year period.[2]"

Removing that information is not vandalism. The reference is to someone's opinion, that has no place on wikipedia. The off-site reference used is also pointing to a missing webpage. This information should be removed. Kjbrunson (talk) 22:26, 13 September 2011 (UTC) Kjbrunson (talk) 22:29, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ratings derived by objective criteria are indeed notable and are therefore permissible for inclusion in wikipedia articles. although the original reference may have moved, it may be yet possible to recover it or another from a tertiary source. see WP:DEADREF for further info. --emerson7 00:02, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is no telling what the "#1 resort" actually means, there could be thousands of different criteria. This could refer to revenue, # of visitors, this could be a rating like the forbes mobile guide or AAA guide. Without the original article, this title has absolutely no meaning on its own. It just looks like spam.Kjbrunson (talk) 02:15, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

External Links[edit]

I just re-added the links to Vail.snow.com and www.vailresorts.com because neither are spam and are relevant to the wiki page.

Euro-thing?[edit]

What the hell is a "Euro-trip" or a "Euro-esque village"? --Copypointthree (talk) 13:23, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
