Fall in the Vail Valley
Fall came about 3 weeks early to Vail Colorado. Our summer was amazing with a significant increase in real estate activity. As we are in the height of our "off season", this tends to be a great time to get out and replenish prior to what is forcast to be a busy ski season. The good news is that above average snowfall is also predicted. In the mean time, please enjoy this image of our amazing colors in the Rocky Mountains.
