City advice
Getting around
Very convenient and free.
The free bus system is a great Vail and Vail Valley resource. Leave your car parked at the condo and take the bus to ski, to dinner, to Beaver Creek, etc.
Book before you go
Reservations highly recommended!
Vail on the weekends is a busy place. If you want to go out to dinner at obvious times, I highly recommend reservations.
Book before you go
First chair starts early on powder days!
If it's looking like tomorrow will be a powder day, get to Chair One at Vail, or Chair Six at Beaver Creek, EARLY. The gondola line at Vail starts at about 8, even though the lift doesn't open until 8:30. Bring coffee ad a snack from Westside or Loaded Joe's and enjoy the scene.
