Hi everyone! I’m moving across the country for my first winter season at Vail and was just offered employee housing at Rivers Edge in a 2x1 with a shared bedroom. I’ve tried looking for more information about Rivers Edge, but I can’t find much about what the apartments are actually like, so I’d love to hear from anyone who has lived there!

A few things I’m wondering:

• How big are the 2x1 apartments? Is the living space pretty cramped?
• I know Vail says most rooms are bunked/shared, but what are the bedrooms actually like? Is there much closet/storage space?
• What did you bring with you, and what do you wish you had brought/not brought? I’ll be flying in and moving from across the country, so I’m trying to figure out how to pack efficiently.
• Any tips for getting groceries and necessities without a car? How reliable/useful is the public transportation from Rivers Edge to Vail/Lionshead/Avon?
• Anything you wish you knew before moving into Rivers Edge or starting your first season?
• Also, this might be a dumb question lol, but is it normal for family to come with you when you move in? I was thinking about having my sister come out with me to help get settled, but I don’t know if people usually do that or if there are restrictions on guests during move-in.

Any advice, pictures, or firsthand experiences with Rivers Edge would be greatly appreciated! I’m excited but definitely trying to figure out what I actually need before I make the move.
