For anyone who currently works for Vail Resorts, has anyone used Pettable to get an ESA letter and then had no issues getting approved for employee housing?

0 Upvotes

I know Vail’s employee housing policies can be pretty strict about pets, so I’m specifically wondering if anyone has gone through Pettable and successfully had their ESA accepted by employee housing.

My vail insurance doesn’t kick in till 3 weeks after winter starts so can’t really afford a mental health therapist right now. Have years of anxiety issues. Use to be medicated to death pretty much. Now I’m not.

Sales perks working for VR?

0 Upvotes

I’m going to be a part time ski instructor. Does anyone know which stores we get 40% retail? Specifics please. I keep seeing all the Labor Day sales and I want to keep myself away. I have my eye on a Stio jacket. Any stores that carry that brand on our list?? I don’t remember what stuff Vail Sports carries. I know we get deals at Salomon and Burton.

Booth to Piney overnight

Post image
11 Upvotes

I am planning on Hiking Booth Lake Trail over the ridge upper Piney Lake unmaintained trail to Piney lake TH. Seems like it should take me a somewhat chill four hours to get to booth then crossing should be another two hours. Camp around upper Piney then next day get to Piney Lake TH in another four hours or so.

Does anybody have any experience doing this? Is the route I have how you went? Is there something I’m missing?

Thank you for input and advice

Family trip / driving advise?

2 Upvotes

My family and I are visiting Colorado from Brazil over the Christmas holidays and staying in Avon for about 5 days. We’ve always dreamed of experiencing a snowy Christmas, so we’re really excited about the trip.

Our plan was to rent a car in Denver and do day trips to Aspen, Vail and Breckenridge. However, the more I read about driving on I-70 in winter, the more nervous I’m getting.
I consider myself a good driver, but I’ve never driven in snow or on icy roads, and honestly, I don’t intend to if conditions are bad. Our plan would be to check the weather and road conditions every morning and simply cancel the day trip and stay in Avon if there’s a significant storm or bad weather.

For those who regularly drive I-70 in winter: how often does the road actually become too hazardous for tourists to drive safely? Is it relatively common to have a few days during Christmas week where you simply shouldn’t be on the road, or are major storms more of an occasional thing?

We initially thought renting a car would be the most comfortable and convenient option, especially an AWD vehicle because of the Traction Law. But I’ve also seen quite a few people online saying that tourists who aren’t experienced with winter driving should avoid renting a car and driving I-70 altogether. Also flying from Denver to the mountains is much more expensive for us.
So… did I screw up my trip planning? 😂
Would you keep the rental car and just be flexible depending on the weather, or would you recommend a different approach? Any advice from locals or people who regularly drive I-70 in winter would be greatly appreciated!

How’s vail?

How is Vail for a 23 yo male that wants to ski bum for the season? Been working at a dude ranch all summer as a fly guide and wants something fun to do for winter time. Also looking at Sun Valley, Driggs (Grand Targhee) and open to other ideas.

Just looking around. Nothing I can really afford, but does the market usually look like this? That is a lot of houses for sale given the population.

Vail housing

6 Upvotes

I have just accepted my offer to instruct ages 3-6 at vail this winter and got a housing offer at river edge. It's the 4x1 room and was wondering how small it is and if anyone has any other suggestions for living. I have found a couple threads of people not speaking too highly of River Edge so just curious as to which route I should take for living. They also offered a parking pass, but I've read that they sometimes take back the offer on parking right before it starts. Just looking for suggestions on what people have done in the past and been happy with. I am not expecting anything super nice, but I also don't care to pay a little more money for somewhere nice and maybe more convenience to get to Vail for work.

Transport to DIA overnight?

0 Upvotes

What is the best way to get to DIA for a 7am flight? Hoping to still be in Vail for the evening before (work event) but need to be on the early DIA flight. This would be in mid October. Is a scheduled uber reliable at all? Is the only reliable automobile transfer at that time (3:00am ish pickup) a private shuttle? Yes, I know about other flight options (eagle airport, go the night before, later flight etc) but am just trying to see if anyone has had experience doing something similar. Thanks!
