All About Vail

There are more than a few good reasons jetsetters choose to visit Vail, Colorado’s gold-standard ski town. As the second largest ski region in the United States, it boasts 5,500 acres of scenic ski terrain. But Vail Valley is not just about size: Its well-groomed runs and powdery backcountry bowls rank among the best in the world, with views from Vail Mountain that stretch across the Rockies. Even if downhill isn’t your thing, this winter wonderland boasts a vibrant après-ski scene with high-end mountainside restaurants and loads of cultural and culinary events. Though Vail is best known for winter sports, summer can be just as active, with mountain biking, hiking, and canopy ziplining galore.

The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Vail

The best time to visit Vail depends on what you’re coming for. For ski buffs, December through March brings the best snow. January receives the most snowfall, and each year Vail accrues an average of 184 inches of prime powder. During this season, the average temperature high ranges between 29 to 35 degrees Fahrenheit. Spring is chilly and soggy, but things heat up by June, the driest month of the year, and stay nice through September. Highs crest in July, with temperatures in the upper 70s. Keep in mind that Vail is around 10,000 feet elevation: To prevent altitude sickness, drink extra water to stay hydrated, and be mindful of your alcohol consumption.
