About Eagle's Eagle Ranch

Vail, Coloraod Daily Photo - A View of Things in the Vail Valley - While the snow cover is thinner in the Vail Valley than we are used to this time of year, reports from skiers coming off the mountain on this Christmas Eve are very favorable! Variety of open slopes is somewhat limited but what is open is in wonderful condition, thanks to Vail Resort's top flight Mountain Maintenance team. Unfortunately, with no new snow in the forecast, these pro's are going to have their skills tested before the high Christmas Season crowds go home.

And crowds there are! Early sales tax receipts reports show that there are lots and lots of folks in town and they are spending a lot of money this year - maybe the thinner conditions on the mountain are manifesting themselves positively in the shops and restaurants!

The real estate market is also displaying some holiday cheer. Resent sales reports show a marked increase in sales activity in all price ranges. This market absolutely feels like it is strengthening weekly!

It’s that time of year again, the World Famous Chicken Noodle Soup & Bazaar in Eagle, CO at the Brush Creek Pavilion. This is a great opportunity to stock up on holiday presents and fill your belly with warm, home made Chicken Noodle Soup and fresh baked desserts.

If you’ve never attended this event, make this year your first! With 27 vendors you’re sure to find some great gifts. And the soup is wonderful! Home made noodles too!

Vail Valley Daily Photo: Remembering Last Summer. Sometimes you are just walking along minding your own business and you run across a scene that is poignant with visions of what must have gone on there. This was one of those scenes - tucked down in a quiet corner of a cottonwood grove along Brush Creek. And there the scene sits, waiting for the return of summer - the snow capped peaks in the distance reminding us of good times in the winter to come.

Have you picked your pumpkins yet? If not, this Saturday, October 15, is the perfect time to head on out to the Eagle Ranch Pumpkin Patch 2011!
