Vail Snow Days, the iconic winter event at Vail, will be back this coming December packed with a lot of things to offer before the year ends. It’s celebrating its 15th year!
The exciting and fun-filled event will take place at Vail Mountain from Thursday to Sunday, December 2nd to 5th, 2021. Although Vail Ski Resort will officially start its winter operation in mid-November (11/12/21 this year), Vail Snow Days will be the ski resort’s much-anticipated event for their 2021 calendars.
