Vail Ski Resort Reviews
Best
Easily the best ski resort in Colorado if not the world. Yes, ticket prices have gone up in recent years, but so has visitor and ski traffic, so a price increase is to be expected. Avid skier and recently purchased the epic pass so will look to trave
Crowded mid-week off peak
We stayed in Lionshead, good vrbo walking to the gondola. It gets very busy , starting around 7:30 am to get in line for the trip up the mountain. I found the back bowls to be fun, frontside was good. Place has a weird vibe. I was surprised at t
Home Town Fun!
This is home base for me and my go to boarding destination! Love what Vail has done with the Epic Pass allowing me to take advantage of all the resorts they own and operate. Love going to Vancouver and Whistler every season as the powder on that moun
Great skiing, too many Karens
Too many Karens. Other than that, the skiing and views were great. It takes a while to get around the mountain, so know where you want to go ahead of time.
Greed on another scale.
We have been skiing at Vail for more than 20 years and love the mountain, however it is clear that Vail Corporation is all about profit at the expense of user experience. The Epic pass has made the crowd excessive on big ski days and the safety on th
Always good
We've skied at Vail many times and it's always good. Unfortunately, the week we were there was warm so the snow softened during the day and froze hard at night. The conditions were like Tahoe. There's something for every ski level at V
Epic Pass Terrible Customer Service
I am being very generous since when the pass works, it is convenient. Epic pass operates as if they are a monopoly so don't expect them to do reasonable things. I ordered a physical pass which is required at quite a few of their partner resorts
Epic Failure
Bought multiple full passes last year. Tried to buy 4 passes this year for 4 day sessions. Added 2 in my name by mistake and non transferable. The person walking me through could not speak English! Now I have 3 days I can use.... No customer serve a
Good ski resort but needs updates on all things data driven
The experience on the slopes is fantastic. The Back Bowls and front side have plenty of runs with differing vibes so that everyone in your group can have a great time. The rental places for skis are close enough to the lifts that putting on boots
Great Ski Mountain, Not so Great Everything Else
As a ski mountain Vail is great - huge amount of runs for all skill levels. But for a place to bring kiddos its not so easy and there's limited things to do beyond skiing compared to other mountains. Lions Head has a top of the mountain magic

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Vail Ski Resort at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Vail Ski Resort page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* 🥩 @FamousStation67, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* 🥩 @FamousStation67 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to 🥩 @FamousStation67 for any questions Peter may have as 🥩 @FamousStation67 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* 🥩 @FamousStation67 now uses their connections at Vail Ski Resort to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If 🥩 @FamousStation67 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, 🥩 @FamousStation67 receives the $200 reward which is credited to 🥩 @FamousStation67's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Vail Ski Resort!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
