Years before it was officially open to skiers, China Bowl had been named for its headwall, visible now from the top of Orient Express, Chair 21. This long limestone formation reminded early Vail skiers of the Great Wall of China.

The Pines Lodge, a RockResort, by Vail Resorts

10/10 Excellent

"The Pines Lodge was beautiful and amazing! We will be coming back. The room was very clean, spacious & beautiful views. The staff was very kind and helpful. They had a water station downstairs with different flavors and it was free which was VERY convenient. They offer free shuttle service to Beaver Creek village which saved us A LOT of money. Emily at the front desk was very kind and helpful whenever we needed anything. Overall, amazing lodge and very cozy. "
