Eat, Drink -- And Watch Movies (and Don’t Forget To Ski)
by American Way StaffThe Picnic
Get thee to Eagle's Nest atop Vail Mountain to watch
chefs compete in a picnic-off that takes place in a hand-built snow
arena. That's right -- this daylong event pits chef against chef in
order to determine the finest picnic fare. Don't miss the igloo
martini bar.
The Finale
This Big Daddy spread, hosted by the Vail Marriott
Mountain Resort & Spa, features samples from all the
restaurants and wineries participating in the fest. Stick around
after dinner and dance away all those calories to the tunes of the
Harry Baxter Band.

VAIL FILM FESTIVAL
After enjoying sustenance of the edible kind,
go for some intellectual stimulation of the film-reel sort. This
festival provides a forum for independent filmmakers of every mode
to present their latest productions of shorts, student films,
features, sports, and more. (Expect 75 screenings in four days.)
Also scheduled are classes, brunches, live music,
winter-film-themed activities, and panel discussions. Among those
honored last year: Harold Ramis, who received the 2007 Gold Summit
Award for Contribution to Film, and Hayden Panettiere, for
Breakthrough Actor of the Year.
