"Don't entirely trust any of these slopes until temperatures dramatically cool down. Each day, the sun climbs higher in the sky, and the oppressive heatwave sends meltwater deeper into colder snowpacks."
Vail Mountain has recorded its lowest snowpack in 47 years, with just 67 inches of snow so far this season. It has been a tough season so far for many resorts located in the Rockies and out West. "We experienced one of the worst early-season snowfalls in the Western U.S. in over 30 years," Rob Katz, Chief Executive Officer, said in a press release. This has limited Vail Mountain and other resorts from opening new terrain and has decreased skier visits.
For some diners, though, location is another primordial factor, especially if it involves gorgeous scenery all around. Fortunately, with its wide array of terrains, microclimates, towns, and cities, the United States boasts numerous eateries with spectacular vistas on all fronts, be they beach, ocean, lake, mountain, or illuminated skyscrapers.
