The VMS Home Tour has become a Vail tradition that allows Vail Mountain School to offer scholarshops based on financial need to a greater number of children each year.  In it’s 39th year, the Vail Mountain School Home tour will have some fabulous homes on tour this year.  In the center of Vail Village, recently completed this summer, there will be two privates residences available to see in Solaris.  In one of Vail’s premier neighborhoods, you will be able to visit 254 Beaver Dam Road, 265 Beaver Dam Road, 332 Beaver Dam Circle and 424 Forest Road.  After much anticipation, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Vail will open this fall, and the Home Tour guests will be able to  preview one of it’s penthouse units.

New this year, tickets can be purchased online at www.vms.edu/hometour.  Advance tickets are also available by contacting Vail Mountain School at (970) 477-7169.  Tickets include a tour of the homes in Vail and Luncheon by Larkspur Restaurant at Vail Mountain School.  Tickets are $45 per person in advance, or $50 per person on the day of the tour.   Complimentary transportation to homes on the Tour will begin at 10:00 a.m. from the Vail Transporation Center.  Shuttles will circulate to the homes and to the Vail Mountain School for the Luncheon and will return guests to the Vail Transportation Center.

The $250 million dollar Four Seasons Resort Vail has delayed its opening again and there is currently no new opening date for the project.  The current owner, an affiliate of Barclays Capital Real Estate, filed suit against Ground Engineering Consultants in U.S. District Court.  The lawsuit alleges the Ground Engineering did not provide the “elongation test” which confirm that the building is structually sound, which it had been hired to produce.  The issues found were isolated, have been addressed and are in the process of being repaired.

The Four Seasons remains under construction in Vail Village.  It broke ground in 2005 and was originally scheduled to be complete in 2008.  It is slated to have 121 hotel rooms, 16 condos and 19 fractional residences. 

The Four Seasons Resort Vail is one of the major components of Vail’s so called “renaissance,” which includes several multi-million dollar construction projects around town, such as the Arrabelle at Vail Square, Solaris and the Ritz-Carlton.
