Ski on the week days, and don’t get mad at the lines at a cretin lift. Most people think the whole mtn is crowded all the time, its not at all, some lift are at some parts of the day. And the mtn can be intimidating because of its size. Ski were no one else is skiing, don’t follow the crowd and it will be amazing. As a local VAIL IS THE SHIT!

You can get like a 3 day pass for multiple mountains, just do it at the ticket counter. I think my pass was 5 days, any combinatino of Vail, Beaver Creek, Breck and Keystone.

i like blue sky basin the best, lovers leap and ironman are two of the easisest ones to find and are great fun on a powder day. theres a cliff band that you can see from there that you have to take cloud 9 and then go onto another trail where the cliffs are...dont worry its easy to find. then mongolia bowl has some fun little drops. bluesky is byfar your best bet though

on your way out to the bowls hit up prima cornice off of northwoods area, it's some fun shit and if you check back a couple of issues ago of skiing mag they picked apart the trail to show the best spots

northwoods for sure if your inbounds, but if you get some snow i'd be heading out to east vail if you know people there...you kinda have to konw the area and bring becons, but its worth it

yeah but most likely if it's his first time he prob should just stay in bounds, you gotta admit vail's got plenty of sick inbounds that could keep you busy for weeks and never get bored
