Things To Do
Skiing/Snowboarding at Vail Mountain Resort
Vail Mountain is renowned as one of the premier ski destinations in North America, offering an exceptional experience for skiers and snowboarders of all skill levels. The mountain boasts over 5,317 acres of skiable terrain over an extensive network of lifts that provide access to diverse runs, from gentle slopes for beginners to challenging trails for experts. Vail's picturesque back bowls and glades are particularly famous, offering breathtaking views and thrilling descents. The mountain offers 3 main village areas: Vail Village, Lionshead, and Golden Peak. We strongly encourage everyone to evaluate ski pass options early - Epic Pass or Epic Day Pass options offer much more economical options vs. buying day of. Pass prices do go up through the year as we approach next year's season.
