Kevin Foley, Frazier's and Lionshead Gondola: History Nugget with Tony Mauro

Description

In 1979, Kevin Foley landed his first job in Vail as a bartender at Frazier's Restaurant. Frazier's was located in the Lionshead Gondola Building in the Lionshead Village area of Vail. Foley, who eventually served as a Vail Town Council member for twenty-three years, recalled his unusual skier service while working at Frazier's. In 2023, Tony Mauro, the Voice of Vail, conducted an oral history with Kevin Foley as part of the Vail Valley Voices oral history project of Vail Public Library. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) photograph of "Frazier's Bar" was captured by photographer Ron Hoffman in February of 1974.
