As a Colorado local, I see a lot of people make the same mistakes when visiting Vail.

I live in Colorado and visit Vail often to go skiing or check out local events throughout the year.Vail isn’t just a winter travel destination — the city has great events happening all year. Don’t forget to prepare for the elevation increase (and crowds if you visit during high season).
Vail is famous for skiing, but it’s so much more than just a winter destination.
You don’t have to ski to enjoy Vail — the city also has wonderful spas, lodges, and shops. I live in Denver and travel about two hours away to Vail at least once a month to go skiing or attend one of its fun, year-round events.
Here are some of the most common mistakes I see travelers making when they visit this famous Colorado ski town and how to fix them.
