1. Events, activities, and more

2. Insider updates, on and off the mountain

Our social media pages are the best way to get the latest conditions updates and events info, as well as to engage with the Vail community. Whether you follow us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, you’ll get daily updates from us and be able to share your own Vail experiences with the hashtags #vail and #vailsnow.

Another tip? If you navigate the mountain like a pro, you’ll want to sign up for alerts from VailMtnAlerts, a separate Twitter account featuring on mountain operations updates, including lift openings, closings, and more.

3. Rentals 

Plenty of people leave rentals out of trip planning, but did you know that you’ll actually save money and time when you reserve your equipment ahead of time? Our rental specialists factor in your skiing ability and the latest snow conditions when recommending equipment, so get your ideal setup without wasting any time getting on the mountain.
