“They worked various Vail Colorado hotel jobs at the Vail Village Inn those first few years cleaning rooms, serving coffee, washing dishes, tending bar, and listening to and learning from the builders who stopped in for drinks after work each evening. In the tradition of the pioneering early days of Vail, the Laziers scraped together enough money to buy their first lot in Vail Village for $7,000, taking a chance and building an eight-unit apartment. That led to a building a year for the next decade, including the Arcade Building in Vail Village, the Wedel Inn where the Sonnenalp now stands, and the old Tivoli. The Lazier’s have watched Vail Village grow from a sheep pasture with a few buildings and a couple of lifts, to this world-famous and world-class resort. And now they get a chance to see their children and grandchildren become a part of the next great era in Vail history.”
