It is beautiful beyond words. I hope she has lots and lots of warm clothes! Also, she needs good driving-in-the-snow skills. I moved from So. Calif. to KY in the middle of winter. I had to learn to drive in the snow very quickly. She will meet people from all over the world in Vail. And she will have a wonderful time.

To ease your mind or maybe not, some of the very best orthopedic surgeons live and practice in Vail. It's a beautiful area that my mom and dad love to go in the summer. They can't now because the altitude affects dad.

I hope housing is included in her compensation. I hear it's hard to find affordable housing.

Hi Susan, as far as I know she will be "live in" at the ski lodge that she's working for, her boy friend has also applied for a job over there so they will be traveling together ( whew! at least she's not all on her own! ) a girl she is working with at the moment traveled to Vail last season, so she is telling Hayley about her experience there. I'm just been a worry wart!

When my mother was 16 she traveled to NYC alone to see a publisher for her book. Then she had to borrow money and cab fare from the hotel owner because she's spend all her money on a snuff box she found in a store. $10 or $20. It was a Faberge. (Very simple).
