It’s time to gear up for Winter in Vail and start planning your trips to the mountains. With the recent snowfall in the high country and just a little over a week before Vail Mountain opens, it’s time to schedule your Vail Valley getaways now.
In addition to world class skiing and snowboarding, the Valley offers some pretty incredible special events and festivals. Of special interest, the Beaver Creek World’s Great Chocolate Chip Cookie Competition returns in November. Yum!
