$218 for a skiing day pass vs $48 to ride the gondola for both Vail and Lionshead. Was an easy choice.

Last year on our visit the gondola wasn't running, but this year we were lucky and rode it to the top. Then we spent the next several hours hiking down the mountain. There are several ways to go.

Beautiful ride can easily bring a walker. We bought two senior tickets on Sept 18th. They cost $37pp I asked if it would be possible to bring walker. No problem and they said just ask the person to shut it down so you don't have a problem. They required masks and staff were very helpful. The paths are easily accessible and the views are spectacular. Food was not an issue as we had other plans. They did have mountain coaster that people were enjoying.

Will suggest clients add this to their list of activities in Vail…

We spoke with a guide about the ski slopes - they looked like they were intended for hardcore skiers. If in the area, do check this out. Budget extra time for the hiking - wear good shoes and bring water and hiking sticks. …

The only activity at the top this season was the mountain coaster, and you can take your bike up to ride down. There is food available for purchase.
