Sorry but that is false. Please name even 1 hotel in Vail that is 10+ stories. The tallest that I can think of is 5, maybe 6 stories.
edit: having been a ski bum in Vail, I can't say that I've visited every resort in CO. But across Vail, Breck, Keystone, A Basin, Loveland, Monarch, Cooper, Copper, Beaver Creek, Steamboat, Wolf Creek, Crested Butte, all 5 mountains of Aspen, there are no 10+ story towers. I'm trying to take back some of the pedantic tone of my original comment.
- anthomtb 5y agoFine. 10+ was my memory failing me. But the Four Seasons and whatever houses Matsuihisa sushi are 9 (when viewed from the mountain, not the highway). Overall point here is that Vail and other ski resort towns happily build very large buildings for vacationers and second home owners. I just don’t buy that having very large office and residential buildings would have that much greater of an environmental, or even quality of life, impact.
- Ario5 5y agoThis is not true, Vail has had a 10 story building since the 1970's[1], Beaver run in Breckenridge is 9 stories and has also been around for a while, the westin in avon is 10 stories, if you count blackhawk as a resort it has some 20-30 story towers in a super narrow canyon. thats just the ones I can think of off the top of my head, perhaps tall buildings don't have as large of a impact as you think.
