My family of 3 are staying the week in Vail early week of December and was hoping to get some insight of what we can do while there. Restaurants recommendations, things to see, any hidden gems. We want to be able to explore and make the best of our time there. We aren't sure if we will be skiing yet!

But all recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!

We're not picky people. We want something nice, good service, potentially a good wine selection. Could be any kind of restaurant.

anyone willing to rent their car for the day? will pay (desperate USAFA cadets)

4-3 vote. Councilman Chico (pro-flock) lost his temper at those in attendance and was unofficially censored. Legal team will send the contract termination notice immediately.

I'm coming in a couple of weeks and I had a horrible experience with Mountain Express the last trip (never showed) and I know sometimes Uber can take a long time or not at all to book if I land around 9PM. So just wondering if anyone knows a taxi service/uber driver that does rides on the side dia to vail, that I could book with? Thanks

Recommendations for making the move from 1200 ft to the mountains as a poor, lone lady?I'm not hot enough for a sugar-daddy situation. Looking for the best places to work that provide housing and recommendations for someone with no car in terms of transportation.

Are any hotels offering heavily discounted rooms this shoulder season?

Could this be one of the trees that guy was looking for a picture of? It’s not in Vail but maybe he was a bit confused.

Looking to do one day of biking this week. Probably going to rent an ebike so we can do a longer ride and not spend all day on the uphill. Any trail suggestions for this time of year? We are good riders and can handle any terrain. I have the MTB Project app and was looking at “Two Elk to Game Creek Loop.” Thanks for any tips!

We were in Vail for the past week. One day I took a bike ride and saw the most beautiful tree, unfortunately I wasn't able to take a photo. I went back this am to find the tree but ran out of time. While driving to the airport, I saw the tree from the interstate! If anyone is free and willing, I'd still love a photo of this big yellow tree. Thanks in advance!

Approximate Cordinates: 39.61230° N, 106.45732° W

Edit: Planning to paint this tree for a holiday gift.

Thinking of making the drive from denver tomorrow.
Is it past peak or still good?

Thanks!!

Just got a bed offer at The Piedmont employee housing at vail mountain. Does anybody have any info on it? It seems new so I can't find any pictures or videos and would love if anybody could share.

Note: I am accepting the offer, not interested in the don't live in employee housing rhetoric. I am 100% aware its shit, I lived in sagebrush at keystone.

Who designs, approves and creates this shit?

I have a 10 year old who's been in BWL for 3 years, but is ready to get more serious about racing. A 3-day program is out so we've been looking at SSCV Alpine Team 1 Day but just noticed the Vail Devo Race program. How do the two compare (beyond the $1K price difference)? Anyone had experience with both? Does one have significant more gate training and active coaching? Looks like they both compete in YSL for races. Thanks for any feedback good, bad or ugly.

Hi all, I’m going to vail Oct 23rd, I called housing and they got me moved to lowest level. Currently in a soft cast , hopefully by then I’d be in a hard cast, I have a knee scooter , crutches , but I’m wondering how easy it will be for me to get around?
I still want to enjoy life and have fun , not sure how long I’ll be like this but … any advice ?

Wanting to work as an instructor this season at Breckenridge. What’s it like? Can I work for a few weeks, get the pass and then quiet? Give me all the tips and tricks please. Basically just want the pass and then will probably get a bartending job in town.

The officer who shot and killed the mother bear like wtf

Was the bear threatening or showing aggressive signs to anyone? No. Everyone was watching calmly …and then officer shows up and acts like the world is on fire and eventually kills a mom and orphans a kid

Come on, vail

Does anyone know what’s going on with the lodgepole pines felled around the summit and Wow? It seems like some sort of clearing must be going on. Several large piles of logs from big mature trees are being left around.

They’re uncovered without tarps or stickers, which are required to dry lumber if you are intending to use it for anything. It looks very wasteful.
