VAIL, Colo. – Dec. 12, 2017 – Recent snowmaking conditions are allowing Vail Mountain to open terrain accessible via Wildwood Express (#3) and Mountain Top Express (#4) on Wednesday. Buffalos and Wildwood will both open Wednesday for dining.

On Thursday, Vail will begin operating Avanti Express (#2) and will then offer 263 skiable acres of terrain.

Beginning on Wednesday, skiers and snowboarders will have access to the following lifts and 238 acres of skiable terrain in these areas on Vail Mountain:

  • Gondola One
  • Eagle Bahn Gondola
  • Wildwood Express (#3)
  • Mountain Top Express (#4)
  • Born Free Express (#8)
  • Little Eagle (#15)
  • Lionshead Carpet (#34)
  • Eagle’s Nest Carpet (#35) 

All guests are reminded that they must observe all posted signs and closures, especially during the early-season. Closed trails may contain hazards due to early snow coverage. Accessing closed terrain is a violation of the Colorado Ski Safety Act and will result in the loss of skiing privileges and could involve prosecution and a fine. Also, uphill travel access is currently closed at Vail Mountain.
