Discounted Vail Lift Tickets

Discounted lift tickets are sold by the Vail Ski Resort by way of passes.  The holiday season is the highest priced season with daily rates upwards of $350.00 per day.  To prioritize the guest experience, Vail Resorts will be limiting lift ticket sales across our 37 North American resorts. While we do not anticipate every day at every resort will sell out, we encourage guests who are planning to visit this season to secure their lift access in advance.

To check on prices, please contact a Rocky Mountain Travel Advisor or visit Vail Ski Resort.

Ski & Snowboard Rentals

To rent or not to rent.  For first time skiers, we definitely recommend renting.  Each region has different snow conditions and each day as well!  So, for the best learning experience, renting is easier. There are rental shops located in Snowmass and Vail and on each of the four mountains. Shops vary in pricing and services.

Airlines typically consider skis (or snowboards) as one piece of luggage and may be subject to fees.  Typically boots are not counted as additional luggage if they are bagged with your skis.

For everyone else, you decide if it is worth the extra cost and hassle of traveling with your ski gear.  Love your boots?  I totally understand.  Ski and poles only (or deck only) options are available at all of the rental locations.

Ski School

The Vail Ski School has talented Pros who are able to work you whether you are a seasoned skier looking to hone your skills, or a newbie fresh off the beach trying skiing or snowboarding for the first time.

There are amazing programs for kiddos at the Ski School.  Kids will have fun engaging with others their age and ability as they learn to ski or increase their confidence on the slopes. And parents can have time enjoying their runs as well!
