We are soooo ready for ski season (ok, we’re always ready for ski season in Vail) and this year we just can’t wait for those first fresh turns. We invite you to join us for all the fun and excitement that comes with the official winter kick-off. Here’s why you want to be here on November 15th:

SNOW! Vail Mountain has exceptional snowmaking capabilities, complemented this year by fresh natural snow. 9 fluffy inches fell in the past week and more is in the forecast, all the way up to opening day!

LIVE MUSIC! Vail ramps up the fun and excitement with DJ Pippen kicking off the day right at Gondola One and Little Foot enhancing your après experience.

BRAGGING RIGHTS! Who scored first turns on Vail Mountain this year? You did! Your friends will be so jealous.

FREEBIES! Early birds will enjoy fun swag giveaways. Who doesn’t like free stuff?

No need to make breakfast, just get up and go. Warm treats and fresh coffee and hot chocolate will be served on the Gondola One Plaza.

Pro tip: Even if you can’t make it for opening day, buy your passes now. Pass prices go up on November 17th. You’ll always find the best ticket and pass prices by purchasing in advance at www.vail.com.

See you on the slopes!
