- Recent snowfall has allowed Vail Mountain operations crews to expand their opening day plans
“The recent storms have been a huge help to our snowmaking and grooming crews who have been hard at work to provide our guests with the best opening day and early-season terrain offering we’ve seen in the last few years,” said Chris Jarnot, senior vice president and chief operating officer of Vail Mountain. “We’re looking forward to getting the 2010-2011 season started and will provide additional updates over the next few days.”
Beginning at 9 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 19, guests to Vail will be able to access the mountain from both the Vail Village and Lionshead base areas through the Vista Bahn Express Lift (#16), the Born Free Express Lift (#8) and the Eagle Bahn Gondola (#19). Skiers and riders will also have access to the following lifts and portions of terrain in these areas:
- Avanti Express Lift (#2)
- Wildwood Express Lift (#3)
- Mountaintop Express Lift (#4)
