Cosmic Dog Winter Park ColoradoMexican Food Winter Park, CO

There is another eatery coming to Winter Park and we are very much excited about its arrival.  Brought to us by Fernand DeLeon formerly of the Winter Park Sushi Bar and more recently of the Cosmic Dog breakfast burrito/hot dog cart.  The Cosmic Dog Mexican Grill will be located next to Rudi’s Deli in Park Plaza on US Highway 40.  Check out their Menu Guide to the right.  Great graphics, very Winter Parkish.  As you can see the pricing looks very reasonable and we’ve been told it will all be served Chipotle style.

This will be a great addition to the quick serve/fast food options we have here in Winter Park.  I took alook in the windows today and construction is coming along.  From my judgment I would say they are a couple of weeks away from being open.

The Cosmic Dog Mexican Grill catering will also be available.  Not sure if they will have beer/wine liquor license or they will be a straight food only Mexican grill.

Their tag line is We Serve Fresh Mex Fast and we here at Winter Park Lodging Company can not wait to find out.  We also would like to to congratulate Cosmic Dog on their new store and wish them much success.

Vail Snow Reports To Be Believed?

Vail MountainVail Snow Reports: Fact or Fiction?

We here at the Winter Park Lodging Company blog usually try to write about happenings up here in Winter Park that have to do with Winter Park Resort skiing and Grand County activities.  But every once in a while we see something that is a little out of our realm but needs to be commented on.  It is especially interesting if it has to do with our Goliath ski neighbor Vail.  And even more interesting if there is some controversy involved.

I read a column in The Denver Post about Summit Daily News firing a reporter for taking Vail to task about Vail’s snow reports.  Read the linked column as it is pretty juicy.  The best part is Vail saying they are closing their offices because of to much snow and not mentioning that their offices are in Broomfield, Colorado over 100 miles away from any of their resorts.  Classic Vail shenanigans.  Then there is the part of them throwing their weight around to get the reporter fired.  Really nothing new here just classic big ski resort behavior.

To give Summit Daily News a fair shake they have issued a response to the reporters firing.  Not sure I believe it as they did have an editor look at the story before it was ran but it is now a he said she said story.  How we have seen Vail tend to act though I would probably side with the reporters side of the story here.

This makes me think of Vail’s attempt to now offer Vail ski guests a better quality hamburger at the same price because the economy has gone into the dumpster.  Blah blah blah.  Would have been nice to get that hamburger when the economy wasn’t on the skids huh?

Anywho, all this brings me to is, are Vail’s snow reports to be believed?  Hmmmm, I say no.  So come up to Winter Park Resort, the David in this David and Goliath relationship, and know the snow that is reported is the snow you will find on the hills.
