Vail grooming schedule
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of fresh corduroy sliding beneath your skis. That’s why we groom over 100 trails over the course of the week here at Vail.
There are many go-to trails that you can expect to be groomed daily across our vast terrain, but you can also find corduroy on signature black runs if you know when to look (scroll down for details!).
