The Hythe Resort Vail · WestA tribute to the founders: The Hythe Resort Vail tells the story of Pete Seibert and Earl Eaton, who founded the ski area, and of the 10th Mountain Division, whose mountain troops trained in the Colorado peaks. Even the grab-and-go snack recalls the field ration of 1942.
