Celebrating 60 Years

The Time to Celebrate is Always

We are like nothing on Earth. When you’re here, you’re a part of something special and this year, we could not be more excited to celebrate 60 years with you. That means returning to our roots while celebrating the present and dreaming of the future. Scroll down to everything coming to the mountain, the village and everywhere in-between to make this 60th season legendary.

On Mountain Experiences

Gondola Cabin

A monument to 60 years of legendary experiences: the Vail 60th Gondola Cabin is a discrete matte white with an image of the original Gondola Cabin on the side in addition to the vintage logo denoting our first year of operations, 1962. Try your luck and you might find yourself riding up on our newest gondola cabin. Cheers to 60 years! 

Holy Cross Corbel

Vail Mountain's newest photo location at the top of Eagle Bahn Gondola (#19). This newly constructed corbel denotes one of the area's most famous peaks, The Mount of The Holy Cross. Stop by, snap a photo and take in the views for yourself. 

Vail Mail

Visit the Legacy Hut at the summit of Mountain Top Express (#4). Our friendly greeters and guest services team are passing out Vintage Vail postcards, ready to send out of the hand. Head over to the Legacy Hut, write and address your postcard and drop it in the mailbox by the entrance of the Legacy Hut. Our team will take care of the rest and have your Vail Mail Postcard delivered. 

 

60th Pins

A token of your experiences at Vail. A pin for every celebration! Can you manage to collect them all during our 60th season. Keep an eye out for pin drops around the mountain!

Vintage Mural

Based on a real billboard painted in 1962, this newly installed mural is the ideal photo location to celebrate 60 years of Vail. Located at top of Wildwood Express Lift (#3). Stop by to capture and create your own Vail memories!

Epic Lift Upgrades

 

Game Creek Express Lift (#7) - Now Open
The new Game Creek Express #7 is the replacement of the old 4-person chair with a new high-speed 6-person lift increasing capacity by nearly 50% and improving reliability in this popular bowl.
Sun Down Express Lift (#17)
The installation of a new high-speed 4-person chair in the Sun Down Bowl from the base of Chair 5 (High Noon Express) to the Wildwood restaurant will materially reduce wait times on peak days at Chair 5 and create the opportunity for skiers and riders to much more conveniently access the trails in Sun Down Bowl.

From Small Town to World-Renowned

Follow the story of hard work and dedication that went into Vail as told by the founders themselves, starting with the early years and leading up to the present.
