Must Do Activities
Minturn Mile is Colorado's most legendary backcountry ski run. Get to the top of Game Creek Lift, turn right, go left at the fork in the road, hike up the spine of the ridge. At the top, you'll be rewarded with gorgeous views before the 3-4 hour ski run. The first section is the upper bowl (skiing thru a ton of fresh powder). The bottom half is great tree skiing. Once you end, walk 5 mins to Minturn Saloon for celebratory margs. Warning: only for expert level skiers & read more about the entire day before trying it out. Other pro tip: have a family member track your location, bring extra shoes, and pick you up at the bottom of the mountain to then drive to Minturn Saloon.
Ice skating at Vail Square ice Rink in Lionshead Village
