Extraordinary snow conditions allow for one extra weekend of skiing and snowboarding! We’ve received 2 feet since closing day, so Vail is extending the 2012/2013 season another weekend. The lifts will run from 9am to 4pm April 19, 20 and 21. See more info below!
Even after a spectacular 13 inch powder “closing” day on Sunday at Vail Mountain, the largest ski resort in the United States, Mother Nature continued to gift the mountain with heaps of powder snow, allowing the resort to extend its 50th anniversary season for one more weekend. With two feet of new snow since closing day, and more than three feet over the past three days, Vail will reopen for skiing and snowboarding Friday, April 19 through Sunday, April 21.
As of April 16th, Vail plans to provide skiers and snowboarders access to more than 2,400 acres of terrain and the following lifts this weekend, 4/19-4/21:
- Gondola One
- Avanti Express Lift (#2)
- Wildwood Express Lift (# 3);
- Mountaintop Express Lift (# 4);
- High Noon Express Lift (#5);
- Born Free Express Lift (#8)
- Northwoods Express Lift (#11)
- Eagle Bahn Gondola
Lifts will open at 9 a.m. There will be no beginner terrain available.
Skiing and snowboarding at Vail this weekend will be free for 2012-2013 season pass holders. Lift tickets will be available for purchase at the Lionshead Children’s Ski School office and at the ticket office in Mountain Plaza for $50. A special $25 ticket will be available for guests who hold season passes from non-Vail Resorts owned and operated resorts. Guests will have the opportunity to apply their weekend ticket purchase towards the purchase of a Vail Resorts 2013-2014 season pass. The $25 daily ticket is also available to holders of Summit County or Epic Local passes that have used all 10 days.

The Vail Ski & Snowboard School will be open for private lessons only based out of Lionshead and Vail Village.
