There's a Chill in the Air...
Welcome to Vail, where winter is the favorite season! Even though the sun shines on the Vail Valley more than 300 days of the year, the average yearly snowfall is 335 inches and snowmaking operations on Vail Mountain encompass over 380 acres! The plethora of snow along with the abundance of snowfall makes the Vail Valley a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, vacationing families, corporate getaways, and leisure seekers. Arts, entertainment, and well-being are a big part of Colorado culture and Vail embraces this legacy to the fullest. The winter season is overflowing with concerts, activities, workshops, galleries, sporting events, and much more for visitors and locals of all ages and interests.
