BLAZE NEW TRAILS

Throughout the summer of 2019, Vail Mountain operations teams and contractors were hard at work making the most significant snowmaking enhancement project in North America. A decade in the making, miles of trenches were dug, pipes laid, and the groundwork for this revolutionary put into place. The investment provides:

  • A legendary early season experience
  • Skiing & riding out of Mid-Vail  from day one
  • More predictable snow surfaces

Because only by blazing new trails, will you get the best snow in the world. You only get one start to a season. Never settle for anything less than the most legendary early season experience.
