All Mountain

How long does it take all of the runs to open at Vail Ski Mountain?

So, I am leaving for Vail on December 28, and am thinking that all of the runs will be open, but am not completely sure. Any answers would be great!

Hi Kyle. I used to live in Vail (for 3 years). Depending on the natural snowfall and the snow making, most runs should be open for the Christmas holiday-one of the busiest times for Vail Resort. Not only does ski patrol need to make sure that there is enough snow, but they also have to make sure the snow is safe (to avoid avalanches and ground hazards-trees, rocks, etc.) and the area is accessible by emergency equipment (snowmobiles, injury toboggan).
You should be able to ride the Back Bowls and Game Creek Bowl, but Blue Sky Basin is iffy.
Since most lift passes for Vail work at other resorts in the area, maybe you can check out Beaver Creek, Breckenridge or Keystone for more terrain options. Any pass or lift ticket office can tell you where your ticket is valid.

Enjoy the mountains!! Tell them I say hi
