Skiers and snowboarders now have access to the following lifts and 70 acres of skiable terrain in these areas on Vail Mountain:

  • Eagle Bahn Gondola
  • Born Free Express (#8)
  • Little Eagle (#15)

Skiers and snowboarders now have access to the following trails on Vail Mountain:

  • Lower Born Free

All guests are reminded that they must observe all posted signs and closures, especially during the early-season. Closed trails may contain hazards due to early snow coverage. Accessing closed terrain is a violation of the Colorado Ski Safety Act and will result in the loss of skiing privileges and could involve prosecution and a fine.


Please read Vail’s Uphill Access Policy fully before heading uphill! All uphill users are encouraged to call 970-754-3049 before each trip – find out where grooming operations are occurring and get suggested routes! For Vail’s official Terrain and Lift Status visit vail.com/terrain-and-lift-status
