There is a ski valet on-site at the Cascade and the on-site Charter Sports offers ski and snowboard rental packages, along with cross country ski and snowshoe packages. Reserve equipment in advance and as well as it being ready when you arrive, you'll save 25%.
Atwater on Gore Creek
One of the best things about visiting a ski resort, other than the skiing, of course, is when the resort makes a point of noting that dress is mountain casual - even in the Atwater on Gore Creek.
Atwater on Gore Creek's unique twist on a combination of two different dining experiences, the tavern and the fine dining area, provides choices in both atmosphere and menu. Even better, diners can select from the tavern or the fine dining menu regardless of the venue they choose.
Breakfast is buffet-style and guests can opt for a cold or hot buffet, including a made-to-order omelet. Or, for a quick breakfast or lunch, there's a convenience store right in the hotel.
Vail Cascade Fitness and Spa
Vail's largest fitness facility includes an indoor running track, and the Aria Spa, which offers luxury day spa services.
Vail Cascade Family Activities
There are plenty of family activities available at the Cascade, including heated outdoor swimming pools, hot tubs, indoor and outdoor tennis courts, racquetball and squash courts, indoor volleyball and basketball courts.
Camp Cascades includes a variety of activities for kids including basketball, ping pong, tennis (on a regulation-size tennis court), swimming, sledding, snow play, nature walks, games, crafts and more.
For the little ones, there's a Nursery Service so you can enjoy an adult-only dinner, if you'd like. It's certainly not necessary though. Children are welcome everywhere in the resort - including the restaurants.
A Place For Everybody
The Vail Cascade really does have everything a guest, a family, or a couple on a romantic ski vacation might need - without ever having to leave.
