The vacation experience is exceptional, from the awe-inspiring terrain and natural beauty of the surrounding Gore and Sawatch Ranges to world-class events, activities and festivals, shops and spas, and the abundant culinary experiences and luxurious accommodations that line the pedestrian-friendly streets of Vail Village and Lionshead. Vail is where outdoor pursuits meet village sophistication. Offering more than 5,200 acres of developed ski and snowboard terrain including seven legendary Back Bowls in winter, and flourishing with new summer activities with the debut of Epic Discovery in 2016, the options for year-round adventure are endless. Coupled with the vision inherent in the spirit of Vail\u2019s founders, and a modern day commitment to excellence in all aspects of guest service and operations, Vail is a mountain resort like nothing on earth.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VAIL, Colo. \u2013 May 30, 2018 \u2013 Vail Mountain will open for summer scenic rides and dining on Friday, June&#8230;<br \/><a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vailvalleypartnership.com\/2018\/05\/vail-mountain-to-open-for-summer-operations-on-friday\/\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17931,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[87,833],"tags":[851,1050,611,1047,1048,1049,1051,1031,1045,1044,199,319,311,391,1046],"class_list":["post-22358","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-community-press-releases","category-visitor-information","tag-851","tag-co","tag-colorado","tag-gondola-1","tag-lionshead","tag-lionshead-village","tag-ski-resort","tag-summer","tag-summer-2018","tag-summer-operation-dates","tag-vail","tag-vail-mountain","tag-vail-valley-partnership","tag-vail-village","tag-visitor-information"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
