5 Good Reasons to go to Vail in Early December
My daughter, Lanie, and I have been to Vail, Colorado in early December the past four years in a row and would like to continue making a habit of it. Read this list to find out why you should too:
It’s the least expensive time to ski. With the purchase of your Epic Pass, you’ll save 20-30% on lifts, equipment rentals, some food, and lodging during the early season. We typically pack up Rip and stay at Antlers. Use Vail Sports for equipment Ski Valet slope side and delivery to your condo lobby.
It’s less crowded. We’ve had no lines or very short lines for the gondolas and the slopes are wide open. It’s easy to score dinner reservations at all of the best restaurants or pop into bar seating last minute. Be sure to try Mountain Standard, Vail Chophouse, and Vintage Vail.
It’s extra beautiful because everything is decorated for Christmas. There are lit trees and festive decor throughout Lionshead and Vail Village. What better way to get in the holiday spirit?
The shopping! It’s perfect timing to buy special gifts for loved ones before Christmas. Perch is an adorable boutique in Vail Village and their Lululemon, Patagonia, and Aviator Nation stores are extra special.
There are special holiday events. We’ve caught many amazing and free Christmas ice skating performances at both Solaris and the Lionshead rink. There are concerts and musical events as well this time of year.
