Shopping
The shopping at
Vail can best be described as diverse. This is a shopper-holics’ paradise - from t-shirts to furs, postcards to paintings, antiques to tacky souvenirs. Shop until you drop!
One of my favourite shops is called ‘Mountain Dog’. It is an essential stop for all dog owners where you can buy that something special for the loyal canine you’ve left behind.
Any shopper worth a pinch will want to make the journey over Vail Pass to visit the
Outlet Stores in Dillon/Silverthorne. All the major American clothing brands have a store selling their goods at ridiculously low prices. Brand names include Calvin Klein, Gap, Levis, Columbia, Adidas, Jockey, Nike, Oshkosh, Polo, Ralph Lauren, Van Heusen and Tommy Hilfiger.
Silverthorne also has a wide selection of retail shops. Very cheap skis and boards are available at a number of shops. Try the ‘Mountain Sports Outlet’ for some real bargains.
