I’ll be there in a couple weeks and want to meet some people for day hikes or snowshoeing or xc skiing. I know it’s quiet in the offseason. Any idea about where I could find something like this?

Hello All,

Im considering taking a chef position with vail resorts for this upcoming winter season. I have a Honda civic 2020 front wheel drive with all season tires. I was planning on driving there.

Questions:

1. is this type of car okay when driving to vail?
2. are there any issues with a car being parked there during the winter ?

Also if anyone has any other advice when it comes to working there and getting around.

It seems as if I would be staying in Avon and commuting to vail for work each day.

Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Howdy!

My husband and I are flying in to Denver to snowboard Vail and Breckenridge on December 15. We are used to snowboarding on the east coast but have never gone on the west coast.

What are some things we should be aware of? Any things to note for driving out to Breckenridge and Vail? Restaurant recommendations?

Thanks!

Was talking with a couple friends who worked at a ski resort in Colorado about the funny things they've overheard people saying/asking like: "At what elevation do the deer become elk?" or "Where do you store the moguls in the summer?"

What else have you heard?

Hey guys, recently moved to dillon. Will be working as a Snowboard Instructor. Driving to dillon from Denver was petrifying for my first time. Ik I need to get snow tires and chains (have all seasons rn) but what are some other tips for driving around the mountains safely? And no this isn't some rash decision I had been planning this for over 6 months but I wasn't prepared for how bad driving in the mountains is

I moved to the Vail Valley, July 2021. Have used Hackett and Viola at Steadman Clinic for stuff before. Scheduling is not that bad because of my personal circumstances (not waiting 2 weeks for a consult) and care has been amazing.

Wondering how Sterett and VSO is for stuff (scheduling, care, etc?). I know he split from Steadman Clinic in 2011 and do know Vail people that use Steadman Clinic or VSO for their orthopedic care?

Is the $250 price tag on the Chasing Rabbits experience worth it for NYE?

Headed to Vail from Dec 30th - Jan 4th with my boyfriend and are hoping to cram as much activity as we can into those days. We are both early 20s and are staying at the Grant Hyatt for reference.

Anything I should surprise him with?

any recs on good places to go for NYE dinner and possibly clubbing?

Besides skiing/ snowboarding, any other must-sees?

Is there an app that shows where the busses are on their route?

Hi all, I was just offered a job as a lift operator in vail, it said housing may be available but I can’t figure out how I apply for housing . And don’t know where to look if I can’t get employee housing. Any and all advice is appreciated!

The Patagonia store in Vail always has the nicest staff and the best service of any store I’ve been in. Very helpful, they swapped my son’s Patagonia jacket out for a new one because he outgrew it. YMMV but wow, I guess I’ll just keep bringing him back when he outgrows his Patagonia jacket every year or two.

Hi! My husband has been working in Vail over the last year and we’re thinking about moving the family up to the Eagle area. We have a 14yo daughter and an 11yo son. Some of his coworkers have said that there’s currently a big drug problem within Eagle Valley High School. Is there anyone that can share their experiences with the school and/or district?

This group had more members than Eagle, so just hoping someone in the area had some advice. TIA!

I got an email the other day saying I qualified for a few positions asking which position I would like (I applied to multiple at multiple different resorts). And that they would send an offer letter. Is there an interview? or?

I just moved to town and I'm on the hunt for 160 length skis for under 300$

F30 Heading to Colorado in February 2025 for a show and I’m wondering if there are any hostels in vail or affordable hotels to stay at? Or would it be better to stay in Breck or Frisco and drive the 45 mins to the vail for the show? Also plan to ski for a day but I don’t mind driving. I don’t plan to shop just try new restaurants/ drinks and maybe EDM/dance clubs or cool dive bars. Mostly there for the show and to try snowboarding.

Colorado office seekers routinely make their stances known on issues like the economy, taxes, energy development and gun control. But as more people struggle with mental health challenges, state candidates should let voters know how they stand on mental health policy, too.

Hi all! Trying to arrange a private shuttle for my 90 year old grandmother in late November. She lives in Lakewood, CO and would need to be picked up at her home, no way to get her to the airport for normal shuttles. I see a bunch of ads for Mr Chauffer Colorado, Eagle Vail Express, and Epic Mtn Express. I’d like to avoid Uber if possible. Any recommendations?

Hey Guys,

I'll be snowboarding in Vail from the 01.03.25-01.08.25.... how cold do you guys normally think it will be during this time? How warm should I dress?

Thanks for the input!

Hi everyone! My partner’s parents are taking us on a ski trip in vail at the end of January for about a week. It’s both of their 60th birthdays. The four of us “kids” would like to surprise them with a gift of some kind while we are there. We are a big experiences family. They have a great sense of humor and anything goes so no suggestion is a bad one! Please let me know what ideas you have. We would love to keep this under $1,000 if possible but we can push it for the right thing. Thanks!

Hey I just got the job as a lift operator for the 24/25 winter season. I completed the onboarding and I’m just waiting for housing. I will be traveling from Arizona. What should I expect for traveling and housing for this season? Any tips or advice appreciated. Thank you!

Hey all!

So, I applied for a ski instructor job with Vail and after submitting the application, I was asked to do a candidate assessment. Which I did, only to then receive several email reminders that I still need to to the assessment, with a link to it. But when I clicked the link, the page showed "you already applied to this position". So I have basically no idea if my assessment went through and they're just taking a while to get back to me, or my entire application is stuck in a limbo.

Has anyone been in this situation? Any tips what to do? I sent an email to recruiting@vailresorts.com but they have yet to get back to me, any other way I can get in touch with them?

Also, how long after applying to they usually get back to people? I applied on October 11th (10 days ago), do you guys think there's any chance they did get the application and are just taking their time?

Thanks in advance!

It looks like there is enough snow to ski on now, but the lifts arent open yet. Should I try tomorrow?
