Why living in Vail Colorado is the worst

I've lived here in Vail for almost 5 years and what he said in the vid never really rang true or thought about in that capacity until now. Literally every house in this town has a view of the highway and the highway noise is just something that I guess I have gotten used to so much. Now that its spring and I'm opening windows to get some air flowing, I am noticing more highway and construction noise. Summit is probably a better place to live, but having Beaver Creek and Avon where the valley opens up a little makes it worth living on this side of Vail Pass. Great vid!

[@TheSummitNews]

Thanks, yeah I do enjoy down valley from Vail.. Avon going on.

[@gracieg7601]

My husband used to call vail the town by the ditches. My sister lives there up on the mountain across from the ski mountain. But they don’t see the highway at all. They are so high up you don’t see anything but beautiful mountains.

I was just in Vail for several days. I stayed in a condo right next to the pedestrian overpass which crosses the interstate, and aside from when I walked across it, I didn't notice it at all. Maybe the snow absorbs a lot of the sound in winter?

[@Ian_Durr]

Lived on both sides of 70, next to local joes on the northside and first chair in Lionshead village… I paid $500 a month for my own bedroom in employee housing… I thought to myself this is kind of expense ($500) to live next to the interstate. The only peaceful time was when they closed the pass! Still enjoyed the snowboarding, but naw would choose several other places to live next time.

[@happydays2300]

When they put I 70 in they just CLAWED their way straight, without a thought for aesthetics, or even for driveability. The OLD road was more in tune with the land, hugged the curves, didn't destroy the whole valley. But never mind THAT, what really killed Colorado was that every rich wife in Vail HAD to import an illegal maid, and then another, and another....

[@endoalley680]

I can remember in Vail years ago they would have signs in shops "No out of county checks accepted here." I remember working in Summit County at the same time. And the shops had signs that read "No in county checks accepted here." Summit county was where all the Denver Meth heads and wife beaters went to live. Maybe not so much anymore since Vail bought up a lot of the ski hills.

[@ejohnson3131]

[@gavinolson5901]

The mountain peaks of vail are way more beautiful than almost any mountain town. Views from up in the hills looking at vail mountain are stunning. Aspen has Highway 82 that many homes look at and the traffic and congestion there is terrible. Everyone knows summit county is where the cheaper and more affordable ski resorts are. Vail real estate is some of the most expensive in the world and there’s a reason why. No town matches up to the how unique the village is. You’re just mad that it would take you 20 years of working to afford a 300sq ft studio condo in east vail.

[@TheSummitNews]

Yeah... I lived in vail for a while, had a good place, but then moved to summit and realized what a POS vail was. Why would I want to live and listen to the interstate, when I can live next to the lake and enjoy the views of the mountains on the lake, go skiing and be able to ski straight to my car door straight from the top, and just have good views all around. Who would want to live in a fake village when you can live next to the lake.

Summit county has the heaviest and loudest I-70 congestion and noise out of any place in Colorado.

I never lived in employee housing, had decent condo close to nightlife, walking distance from most things.. I liked to sleep with the window open so when I opened it all I heard was the roaring of I 70 bouncing off the mountain sides, when I went hiking above vail on either side all I heard was the roar from i70, eventually I sold that got out of there and now sleep and hike in peace. You are proving my point that people pay too money to live in a crazy hole.. when they could have better views and hiking/biking/boating activities out there front door instead of a load roaring interstate. Enjoy your crappy view

If I 70 is not so bad, then why does the town and its citizens keep bringing up spending millions of dollars to get i70 out of sight and sound. Maybe they just want to spend millions of dollars for fun huh? Try another mountain town, you will see how quite and peaceful it is compared to I70

Also, if you live in East Vail off Main Gore Dr, Juniper, Meadow Dr you will not hear traffic either, you did not mention this. Yes I-70 does pass right though the town, but you do get used to it. Also, you are completely wrong about hearing the traffic when hiking as it "takes a few miles to get away from the roar". You only have to hike a quarter to a half mile on the trail you showed: Pitkin. As for the other hiking trails: Booth/Bighorn it is the same. On Deluge and Gore Creek trails you won't hear any traffic from the beginning. Get your facts straight before posting a video like this, or better yet, just stay in Summit county!

Hahaha. I have been to those areas and you can still hear I 70 it does not scream like it does in other parts.. but there is still a nice hum.. also if you get used to it why does the town want to cover I 70? A new proposal on how to hide I 70 come out every 5 years. Those trail heads still have a nice hum on them. But the sound of I 70 is not the worst part of Vail.. it's the view and the fact that half the town lives in a shadow for a good part of the day.. in Vail you wake up and you look out your window and you see the other side of the valley and the I 70.. no beautiful open view of the mountains, no lakes, just some condos and the interstate. I will stay out of Vail.. what reason would I have to come there? Ohh maybe I could Vist one of the restaurants or shops they have there, because no other town in Colorado has those... oh wait. Nvm.

If you love the view of condos in a depressing valley.. sure

[@TheSummitNews]

Yeah Vail is a giant load of shit. Just waking up and all you see is a depressed valley full of condos and an interstate.. take the move like I did.. I got out and found better quality of life in any other mountain town

Your the “locals” I’m from a nearby ski town, it’s literally a interstate gas station with condos designed to be a rip off Santa’s workshop 💀
