See all- Ski/Snowboard Vail and Beaver Creek Ski Resorts - Epic Pass Resorts!Needs location
We are heading to Vail Ski Resort (and Beaver Creek) to snowboard/ski. Grab your Epic Pass and snowboard/skis and let's visit Vail, one of the best ski resorts in Colorado with its SEVEN legendary back bowls! The sister mountain is Beaver Creek with nice wide-open runs; we can make our way there too!
Our lodging is reserved from Wednesday 3/12 to Sunday, 3/16. Everyone will have their own bedspace, and no sharing of bed is necessary. We are staying at Vail Bunkhouse and the whole place has been reserved for us besides staff. There will be a total of 28 of us; it will be a blast!!!!
To get to Vail, we will take the bus right across the street from the front entrance to The Vail Bunkhouse. With a short 10–15-minute ride, we will be at Vail. No need to find parking - get off the bus and we can hit the mountains together.
The cost includes our stay for 4 nights at the Vail Bunk House. Additionally, I will fix dinner on the evening of March 13th so we can get to know each other (I do ask everyone to help with cleaning up after dinner and definitely clean up after yourself daily since we are sharing the space!)
We will also stock the kitchen with some snacks, breakfast items and beverages. Coffee in the morning is provided by the house! I will also bring Board Games for those that feels like socializing with some friendly competition (Please feel free to bring yours to share!).

This is an all-around great way to spend the Thanksgiving weekend.
And...this is NOT like the other meetup cruises you see.Come join us for the fun and adventure!
