There are City Markets in the mountains, huge stores that are operated by Kroger. Also Safeways around. There is a WalMart SuperCenter in Avon. Groceries are in abundance in the mountains.
The RCC SF and St Thomas were twice daily (or at least daily plus turndown). No idea about Vail.
Weird. We’ve stayed at the SF property twice. I ordinarily notice something like this because I typically don’t want anyone coming/going from our unit and would have said something. We had friends with us the first trip as well. None of us make our own beds while on vacation. I checked with my wife and she says we didn’t have maid service.
Concierge will reach out to you via email a month before your arrival. The emails are concierge's individual address at the Ritz Carlton Vail so I'd rather not post in a public site. There is no group concierge mailbox. Yes, you get the 2x daily housekeeping, with the evening visit being the turndown service - love the chocolates! You'll love the Ritz Vail - its top notch and I know my ski timeshares. No tips are necessary - they will tell you everything you want to know. The walk from the Ritz to the Lionshead Village lifts is 9 minutes but the Ritz private shuttle takes less than 2 minutes, if you wait.
