Vail Winter Fun for All Ages
Snowshoeing
If you love to hike or trail run in the summer then you’ll love snowshoeing Vail in the winter. Snowshoeing is a great way to explore the back country, take in great views and get a great workout. East Vail of course has some of its own snowshoe trails. These are in the natural local environment and do not require a ski pass. Take a group of friends or the whole family, either way, you are in for a spectacular day in the mountains.
Nordic Skiing
The Vail Nordic Center offers 17 kilometers of groomed ski trails and 10 kilometers of separate snowshoe trails. You can pick up the course just 2 miles west of Vail Racquet Club Mountain Resort at the Vail Golf Course. All trails from the beginners to the advanced have stunning views of the majestic Gore Range. The free Town of Vail bus runs regularly from the Resort or take advantage of free parking for customers using the trails. Day passes cost $18 -enjoy snowshoeing, Nordic skiing or fat tire biking. Season passes $115 (Vail Resident) and $145 (non-resident). We do not have discount offers for the Nordic center but you can see other partner discounts here.

Extreme Skiing & Riding

We definitely do not recommend venturing off-trail unless with a highly qualified guide. Take a look at Vail Powder Guides offering guided backcountry skiing and snowboarding off of Vail Pass.
