The center of the skiing universe in California could be in the Lake Tahoe area or perhaps the big-time ski resort at Mammoth Mountain, but skiers and snowboarders looking for slopes a little more on the quiet side will find more than they imagined at Bear Valley.

While not on a par with Squaw Valley or Heavenly or other major California ski resorts, the Bear Valley ski area is still a prime candidate for a weekend or even an extended skiing vacation. As we discovered in early February, Bear Valley offers a surprisingly complete ski vacation experience – no frills, to be sure, but still rewarding and well worth the trip deep into the Sierra Nevada range.

Orlando Luxury Villas: Enjoy your Orlando Vacation at Half the Price

Orlando luxury villas offer you all you could wish for in accommodation during your Orlando vacation. When most people book their vacation in Orlando, they check up on what hotel accommodation is available and on the room prices. They rarely think about Orlando vacation villas or condos. Why is that?

When you book a vacation you want to have a good time, and have everything looked after for you. You want a maid to clean your room and fresh towels every day. You want coffee-making facilities in your room, an ice machine in the corridor and a mini bar, not to mention a trouser press and everything else that you consider ‘luxury’. You likely consider renting a villa to be self-catering, and you have no intention of cooking on your vacation. Read more »

For example, you can go to the night clubs at Universal and Disney or take in one of the many dinner shows on Orlando’s International Drive. However, if you appreciate top-flight theater, then you should definitely plan to spend one evening at the Mad Cow Theater.

The Mad Cow Theater started in 1997, housed in a former blueprint studio in Maitland, Florida. Starting with a simple two-show format, the theater began to attract the attention of both critics and audiences alike.

After an initial period, where it was housed in other Florida institutions, the theater put down roots in downtown Orlando where it has become an important of the city-center’s cultural scene. In this location, the theater has maintained a high level of performance and was acclaimed as the Best Theater in Orlando two years in a row by Orlando Magazine.

The Mad Cow Theater has treated audiences in Orlando to classic works as well as some of the best contemporary plays. With a repertoire encompassing both American works and world literature, plays by Chekhov, Williams, Pinter, Shaw, Brecht, Ionesco and Pinter have been performed during the last 12 years.

These plays have been produced by Central Florida’s best actors, designers and directors. Working in process that combines in-depth rehearsal with fertile collaboration, the theater company has been the recipient of many prestigious awards such as Arts Innovator of the Year by United Arts of Central Florida and Umbrella Awards at The Orlando International Fringe Festival.

It is not only critics that have embraced the Mad Cow Theater, the public has given the theater a consistent “thumbs up” and ticket sales have increased steadily over the past years.
