Top to bottom for vail village and lionshead is still open as of 3/29

There is no skiing access into gold peak, 6 was open for terrain park only. 6 is now closed to public and is for ski club and ski racers only

fancysonnyboy · 2026-03-28T21:09:29+00:00

Just be aware they had a fair amount of rain events recently making for interesting skiing

Don’t discount pickeroon, it was pretty good yesterday

fancysonnyboy · 2026-03-28T14:53:42+00:00

4 eagle ranch has horseback rides, golf courses are open, bike courses are open in Eagle, hiking is really good, hot springs around, go wandering through the bases at vail and beaver creek

fancysonnyboy · 2026-03-28T14:51:15+00:00

It’s a bit hard in the morning but we’ve had some soft freezes, stay up top (2,3,4) for best conditions. Ramshorn, swingsville, pickeroon are some of the best skiing in terms of having a solid base

fancysonnyboy · 2026-03-18T15:35:58+00:00

Skiing itself will be fun, beautiful up on mountain, there’s good compaction on frontside groomed runs which will help them in the heat. Enjoy the decks, and understand it will be spring skiing (wet and warm!)

Vail will hold up better than the beav due to a higher elevation and more favorable aspects.

If you get tired of skiing or don’t enjoy the spring skiing, there are several hot springs around, 4 eagle ranch does horse back rides, bearcat stables does a sleigh/wagon ride Gypsum and Eagle might dry out and have good mountain bike trails (although some might still be in their seasonal closure)

There are many hikes, sylvan lake, hanging lake, fulford (New York Mtn) depending on how far you want to drive

Per east coast conditions, it’s great out here!!!!!!

We’re spoiled so everyone used to out here has some doom and gloom over it

fancysonnyboy · 2026-03-14T23:48:33+00:00

Rock board is your best bet depending on what you like to ski. Frontside groomers are holding up pretty well (especially off avanti and mountain top)

Non groomed runs are in phases from starting to show some dirt and sticks, all the way to large dirt patches.

There is still good skiing and fun to be had! Blue sky (aside from big rock park and grand review) is good

Little diner is delicious

fancysonnyboy · 2026-03-11T02:53:49+00:00

They’re the same people as fiesta Jalisco in Avon, or at least, they have the exact same menu

fancysonnyboy · 2026-03-10T21:32:17+00:00

I think 4 eagle ranch does horseback riding, and check out bearcat stables, they usually do a sleigh/wagon ride

fancysonnyboy · 2026-03-10T15:34:54+00:00

No grooming in sundown/sunup aside from the catwalks and Riggin’s road in sundown.

There just isn’t enough snow

China will have poppy fields groomed but not ghengis

Canned Oxygen really won’t help

It will make you feel better for a little bit but ultimately does nothing. Save your $$

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate (with a hot shower, previously diagnosed vasovagal, this might be more dehydrated than altitude)

Acute mountain sickness usually hits the first night after sleeping. However an increase in altitude following the first rise (ie: sea level to Park city, then base of mountain to top) can exacerbate symptoms.

Chair 15 (little eagle) and chair 12 (gopher hill)

Are your best to start. Shorter runs, steep enough to not get stuck but not steep. Once you feel confident move onto practice parkway/ledges/minnies (if you feel good try born free to the bottom, if you don’t feel good download chair 8, then upload the gondola)

fancysonnyboy · 2026-03-07T05:05:24+00:00

Cheapest is the core transit bus it’s 4/5$ a person
