Thank you 4runnerguy!! That gives me several places to look. We want to go up for Vail Snow days but only for one or two nights. My teen boys want to see the band Modest Mouse who is playing up there for free. Just the cost of lodging - but lodging, of course, can be very expensive during ski season. So if the weather would hold out, we could take our travel trailer up (live just southeast of Denver) Then if the weather gets bad, we don't have the risk of late cancellations etc.
I hope it works out - the boys really want to see the band and free is awesome!!
One thing you're going to have to figure out is what to do with the trailer when you're at the concert. Not really anyplace in Vail to park it while you're at the concert. So I guess you'd go up earlier in the day and drop it somewhere? At least by the time the concerts get going, parking in the Village Parking structure is free (after 3:00 p.m.) Not too much of a walk from there.
Another option is River Dance RV Park just west of Gypsum. It is open all year. They have a cancellation policy where you'd lose a night if you don't go, but they're not full this time of year anyway, so just call the night before you want to go and make reservations only when you're sure about the weather. I think they're minimum is $45, but having electricity to plug into is nice. We take a couple of electric heaters to keep warm rather than burning our propane.
Taking your skis/snowboards too?
