When the snow melts, the town of Vail unfurls into the vibrant hues of summer with wildflowers and sunny days. Activities are endless: hiking, mountain biking, fly-fishing, a world-class concert or sampling the fare at the Farmer's market
Then for winter, there's a whole other world of outdoors that doesn't require skis or boards - just an adventurous spirit. From a five star meal atop Vail Mountain to dog-sledding, live concerts to hut trips, we've got a lot to offer. It's the perfect place for anyone looking for some unique fun off the skis or board!
As Vail’s premier ski and snowboard and bike shop, we take a lot of pride in being a big part of the local mountainsports community—we contribute by bringing sales and events to town to help you make the most of the season, and by serving as a resource for local mountainsports news and information.
