I am planning on bringing a vehicle to vail for the winter season.

-what can I do to take care of the car during the winter season ?

• what are the issues with keeping it parked?

• maybe I shouldn’t even bring a vehicle and just use public transit ?

Anything helps! Thanks!

Still trying to plan some day drinking for this Bach party - if we have people who aren’t planning on skiing but want to get up to the Two Elk Lodge, do they have to buy lift tickets? Or the gondola ticket? They’re kinda expensive to just get up there so I want to make sure we plan accordingly. I’ve been to other spots where you can ride up for free but I don’t see any info online.

Gonna be in Vail opening weekend for a bachelorette party and I’m looking for some insight on some fun day clubs/parties. I saw on the Vail site that the Express Lift Bar has a dj on Friday the 15th but looking for some other options for Friday or Saturday. Thanks in advance!!!

Traveling in from DTX for the weekend with my Gf (Feb 13-16)

Flying into Denver and looking for places to stay that aren’t $5k+

Was looking to rent a car & drive from Denver to Vail but after reading into it I don’t think that would be a good idea..

What’s my best bet going to & from Denver airport / Places to stay in / around Vail?

Will definitely continue to look into this.. Any and all ideas would help tremendously

No real questions. Just excited to join the Lifty team at vail. I worked as a Lifty at Mt.Bachelor and loved it.

Super stoked to get to ride vail.

My husband and I are coming to Vail this weekend through Monday. We know it's the off season so many typical mountain activities will be closed. What are some things we can do or see while we're there? We're definitely going to check out the hot springs in Glenwood. We would also love recommendations for restaurants while we're there. TIA

Does anyone know it is easy to call a Uber from Denver airport to Vail in a evening in December? I know there are Uber reservation, but I am afraid the flight delay since we have a group of four taking three different flights.

Husband and I are going on a trip and would love to stay at a nicer resort that has somewhat fancy accommodations but isn’t break the bank fancy. We aren’t planning on skiing but would love a place that is near restaurants and shops and maybe some other outdoor activities.

Hi, is there a small area outside of grand Hyatt by the Cascade Lift to have my toddler practice on their snowboard? Possibly right outside the ski rental building? I just want them to get a feel for the snowboard before heading up the mountain.

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$

I dont understand I specificially checked the page to make sure i was getting the PC VR version.

Working in Lionshead village soon and was wondering about the bus system. Is there a direct bus from Lionshead village area to Avon? I’ve never used public transport and am super new so I don’t even know how this works. Any help is welcomed! :)

family vacation, first time here, trying to find things to do! tia

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.
