With 5,300+ acres, Vail is the largest ski resort in Colorado and 2nd only to Big Sky as the largest single-mountain resort in North America. With its iconic peaks and legendary back bowls, Vail is not just a mountain... it’s like nothing on Earth! Carve your own path through the resort’s wide-open groomers and endless legendary terrain. See why Forbes magazine named Vail as one of the best ski resorts in Colorado:
As Colorado’s largest mountain resort, Vail is a bucket list ski experience for a reason. Over 5,300 acres of ski and snowboard terrain, including some world-renowned back bowls, makes this a popular destination for ski lovers of all kinds (the terrain is seemingly endless). But Vail also has more to offer beyond just a stellar experience on the slopes. The picturesque locale has all the charm of a European ski town, with cobblestone streets, a Bavarian-themed village with plenty of glittering trees and luxury restaurants at every turn.

Altitude Bar & Grill
Hotel amenities include the Altitude Bar and Grill. Voted Vail’s #1 sports bar, it offers a varied seasonal menu that is sure to please carnivores and vegetarians alike. With 19 LCD TVs and 100+’’ projection TV, the recently renovated venue is the best place in Vail to watch any game.
Lift Tickets: Lift tickets are not included in the trip package, as Vail Resorts is no longer offering competitively priced group lift tickets. Epic Passes, which must be individually purchased (not through the club), provide the best value.
Epic Passes: Participants are encouraged to purchase an Epic Pass product of some type early-on. The following options would cover your skiing for the trip; prices shown are as of March 2024 when 2024-25 pass sales began, but will increase in the ensuing months, and will be unavailable after early December:
- A "full" Epic Pass ($982)
- Military Epic Pass – Active/Retired ($172); Veteran ($561)
- Epic Day Pass (the non-holiday-rate for an "all resort" pass)
– ($492 for 5 days; $573 for 6 days)
- Epic Local Pass ($731)
- Tahoe Local Pass ($621) - 5 days total at The Rockies
You may purchase Epic Passes directly from Vail Resorts, but we suggest that you visit our Epic & Ikon Pass page to explore the various options available, including promotional offers from our tour operators. They offer all except the military passes, which must be purchased directly from Vail Resorts.
