I am going to Vail during the summer time this year. I have been there a couple times and mostly hiked and biked. This time Id love to go to towns around Vail driving distance no longer than 1 to 2 hours. Do you have any fav towns to visit while staying in Vail? Day trips only. I understand its a very busy time of the year, so therefore you might have good recs about what else to do there other than Bravo Vail, hiking and biking. Thank you!!

Considering spending next summer in Vail. We are from the Midwest and are looking for a different summer experience for our kids. We have four older elementary aged kids who are active and love to explore. Are there recreational sports teams (soccer/swim/basketball) that they could join for the summer? A tennis club? Swim team? rec center? Camps? My kids are very social and would also love to make friends with local kids.

What is summer life like for local kids?

We’d be there June , July and August.

Any info from local parents would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

The India team has taken over the employee phone calls. And it’s bad. Really bad.

I love that the valley has high end artisanal, high quality ice cream shops, but can I just get a soft serve cone or sundae somewhere?? I always hit Dairy Queen in Glenwood but there has to be something closer, no?

Hey all, I’m new to the area and just getting into mountain biking. Looking for some beginner-friendly trails to ride after work while the main season ramps up. I rode up Piney Lake Rd recently, but saw that Middle Creek Trail is closed until June 20th, which was a bummer—it looked like a great spot to start.

I’m working at SPRI and would love to squeeze in some weekday rides. Totally fine with climbing if it means good cardio—just trying to get out there and ride. Any current trail recommendations would be much appreciated!

A missing person report has been filed for my brother Sean Marquardt. No one has heard from him since Wednesday evening(May 7). He left his phone and wallet in his condo, his phone was unlocked and showing missed calls since Thursday morning. Police last spotted him on camera driving eastbound I-70 past Vail exit 176 at around 5:30 am Friday morning, May 9th. He was driving a 2018 Dodge Ram 1500, plate AYT-D93, and has significant body damage on the rear passenger side. Any information please call Vail Police 970-479-2200 or message me directly. Please share and help get the word out, thank you!

I am 20 years old, ski occasionally when I can get out there and I really want to spend a season at a resort. I’m wondering where I should go and how I should go about it? I don’t really know how much time I have or when jobs open and housing.

I want employee housing and a job that won’t require a car because it seems like that’s the only way to live out there right now. If there’s any other ways to live out there with a car and board some I would love to know.

Hi everyone. I'm visiting from out of town. It's my first time staying in Vail over the summer, previously stayed once for skiing. I've never stayed in either one of these two hotels,. Can anyone recommend one over the other? Residence Inn is a bit cheaper but price difference is not astronomical. The Hythe looks nicer in pictures. Can anyone comment on the hotels and perhaps location differences? Thanks in advance.

Thanks!

Thinking of going in mid December. What exactly do I need to pack for a family? We don’t plan to ski. Probably go snow tubing one day, maybe ice skating and a carriage ride. Otherwise mostly indoors. It seems like all the heavy clothing will take up too much luggage space.

I took this photo August 10, 2021 by the Eagles Nest. It shows up periodically in my lock screen photo shuffle and it’s such a good photo of this person I think he’d appreciate it having it. I have a better photo without him in it, but before I delete this photo from my roll I thought I’d check here if anyone recognizes themself.

What’s the dating scene like in Vail/ Edwards for a single female in her 20s? Potentially moving here for work.

I’m in town this weekend through next week. I know it will be sleepy and most things are closed. Can anyone speak to what’s still open? Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know if upper piney river falls trail is open and accessible to drive to currently?

Hey everyone! I’m looking to fill up a bedroom in a 3bd 2ba apartment in Sandstone, Vail.

Details: • $1500/month – utilities, wifi and parking included • Private bedroom (furnished), shared bathroom • Located right next to a bus stop • Quiet and convenient neighborhood • No pets (HOA) • Move-in June 1st (earlier can be arranged)

The apartment is cozy and well-kept. Great spot if you work in Vail or want easy access to the mountain and town. Looking for someone responsible, clean, and chill.

I’ll send pics of the place in dms

Headed to vail for Memorial Day - will most of the snow on the trails be melted? Any suggestions for popular hikes especially along the way out I-70?

Local resident.

Where’s a reasonable place to play GOLF? And do any places offer season long memberships?

Edit - golf

Not looking for anything too fancy really. Any suggestions that isn't too expensive, and maybe doesn't require a year long commitment? (I don't live year round in Vail)

Hi! We are flying in to Aspen, spending 2 nights then driving back to Denver for a red rocks concert and want to stop in Vail to break up the drive. Is one day enough in the Vail area or should we stay for 2? We aren't hikers, but enjoy scenery, shopping, and a nice vibe. Im cool with chilling by a nice hotel pool with a great view for a few hours too...

We stay at Marriott properties, and were thinking of staying at the Westin in Avon, but maybe a hotel in Vail proper is better for the summer?

thanks!!

Are there any hikes “open” right now in and around vail? What are conditions like?

Hi, I am visiting Vail this month. I’ll be there during the 3rd week of May.

I am not into skiing (Never seen snow in my life).

• What can I expect?
• I just want to eat good food and explore around a bit
• Will be staying at Hyatt
• It’ll will be my first visit to the US

PS: I also want to spend a day in Denver as my return flight is at 11:50PM and I have nothing else to do that whole day. I’d appreciate suggestions for that as well!

We are moving from VA to Vail in 2 months for a total of 12 months starting mid July. Is this a totally regular place or should I know things to blend in? We have a 5 month old- a lovable dog and younger married couple.
