VAIL - LIONSHEAD VILLAGE
If you’re a fan of “doing things in the mountains”, there are few places better than Vail, Colorado. The obvious choice for winter activities, known worldwide for over 5,317 acres of skiable terrain and legendary back bowls, is Vail Mountain Resort. That said, being a renowned destination for snow sports doesn’t mean Vail isn’t beautiful all year. Summer months are perfect for mountain biking or exploring an abundance of hiking trails full of Colorado wildflowers. When it’s time to relax, kick back in the ever-so-charming Vail Village for Apres Ski, some “light” shopping, or delicious food and drink. Sold on Vail? It’s hard not to be! We’ll see you out there at our Lionshead Village Christy Sports.
