  American school breaks stack through late February and March and land on the deepest base of the winter. Lift queues and lodging rates both peak; the snow at least justifies half of it. Fonte ↗

  Alpine wildflowers

  1 Jul – 10 Ago · normalmenteFlores silvestres e floradas

  Columbine and paintbrush come up on Shrine Pass and above the gondola from early July, a couple of weeks later the higher you go. The gardens at Betty Ford peak at the same time. Fonte ↗

• Feriado

  Fourth of July in the mountains

  3–5 JulFeriado nacionalLotadoReserve cedo

  The Fourth of July weekend is one of the busiest of the mountain summer: lodging and campsites book out and roads into town are slow. Fireworks are often cancelled or replaced by drone shows when wildfire danger runs high. Fonte ↗

  A fortnight of company and guest-artist programmes at the amphitheater at the turn of July into August, with the outdoor evenings selling out well ahead. Fonte ↗

• Fechamento

  Autumn shoulder shutdown

  5 Out – 10 Nov

  The second mud season: the gondola drops to weekends or stops, restaurants take their annual break and the village runs on locals until the snow comes. Rooms are at their cheapest of the year. Fonte ↗

  Ski season

  13 Nov – 18 Abr · normalmenteReserve cedo

  Vail Mountain targets mid-November and runs to mid-April. The Back Bowls need a real base and rarely open in full before Christmas, so December skiing is front-side skiing. Fonte ↗

• Risco

  I-70 and Vail Pass closures

  15 Nov – 31 Mar · normalmenteTemporada de avalanchesFechamentos

  The pass and the Eisenhower tunnel shut for storms, spun trucks and avalanche control several times a winter, and the traction law applies from the first snow. Build a spare day around a Saturday drive from Denver. Fonte ↗

• Feriado

  Christmas and New Year

  20 Dez – 3 JanNatal e Ano-NovoLotadoReserve cedo

  The dearest fortnight of the year, with lift lines that do not match the snow depth. Locals wait for January, when the village empties and the storms are more reliable. Fonte ↗
