The package features a two-night stay at the newly remodeled property, four passes for Adventure Ridge, located at the top of Vail's Eagle Bahn gondola and a handy Vail Cascade souvenir backpack stuffed with mountain vacation necessities including a fleece blanket,  Frisbee, bottled water, and a map of Vail. Package pricing starts at $288 and trips can be booked now for travel from June 25 through Sept. 1, 2009. 

Vail Cascade, the only AAA Four-Diamond rated ski-in/ski-out resort in Vail, recently completed a $30 million renovation featuring a complete transformation of the creek side decks and patios, including an Infinity edge pool and hot tub, three outdoor fire pits, a new restaurant, Atwater on Gore Creek, a new café serving grab-and-go meals, an updated Fireside Bar, remodeled spa locker rooms, additional meeting space, and the addition of air conditioning to each guest room.
  
Families can find plenty to do together at the Vail Cascade this summer from enjoying the new pool to a pick-up game basketball together at the fitness center. Together time also can be spent playing tennis at the resort, having a barbecue on the back deck of the hotel or simply biking or walking the trail along the Gore Creek. Kids also can find numerous events and activities to participate in when they sign up for Camp Cascade programs.
 
Vail's free offerings include the Sunday Farmer's Market, Hot Summer Nights concerts at the Ford Amphitheater, local parks and play areas, the Colorado Ski Museum, hiking on-mountain, and strolling through the pedestrian villages, playing in the Children's Fountain, and so much more.
