4 Day Ski Trip to Vail in March

Your arrival day to Vail in March will likely involve settling into your accommodation, exploring the village and enjoying some great food and drinks. Make sure to rent equipment or arrange for lessons in advance to save time. If you are planning to arrive in the morning or afternoon and you have rented ski or snowboard equipment, you can pick it up from one of the many rental shops in Vail Village or Lionshead. I recommend Gorsuch Ski Cafe located at Gondola One in Vail Village or Vail Sports which has multiple locations throughout Vail Village and Lionshead Village.

Pro Tip: If you arrive before 4 PM, I would encourage anyone to go and pick up their lift tickets before hitting the slopes (passholders will need to make sure their pass is active before scanning). Lift tickets can be picked up or purchased at the ticket window (I do not recommend purchasing window prices). You can secure your tickets in advance at Vail Lift Tickets.

Enjoy dinner at one of Vail's many restaurants, ranging from upscale dining venues to casual eateries. For a fine dining experience, check out Left Bank or Sweet Basil. If you are in the mood for something more exotic, try the Japanese cuisine at Matsuhisa or Yama Vail.

Looking for something more casual? Grab pizza by the slice at Vendettas or nachos at The Red Lion.

Remember to stay warm and hydrated, and get plenty of rest for your first day's adventures!

Get ready to explore over 5,000 acres of legendary terrain! Depending on where you get your equipment rentals will determine where your day starts.

If you are starting in Vail Village your options are Gondola One or walking over to Golden Peak.

If you are starting in Lionshead Village your options are Born Free Express or Eagle Bahn Gondola. There are other things to consider when it comes to your ski vacation. Remember skiing and snowboarding are lifelong sports and should not be rushed! Know what your ability level is and stay within your abilities. If you are unsure, you should sign up for a half-day lesson with a certified instructor even if you are an expert, having a personal guide can take you further! Vail Private Lesson.

Take a break and enjoy lunch at one of Vail's premier on-mountain restaurants located at MidVail, atop Gondola One. You will want to snag a reservation as this is restaurant is tough to walk-into.

Spend the rest of the afternoon enjoying the mountain or cut out early and catch apre at Root & Flower or The Remedy Bar inside the Four Seasons.

End your day with a remarkable meal at one of Vail's signature restaurants. With traditional German and Austrian cuisine at Almresi Vail. The restaurant is named after a fictional alpine village and features an atmosphere and décor that transports guests to the Alps making it a cozy and welcoming ambiance, with rustic wooden chairs, antler chandeliers and cowhide accents.

Ready to do it again?! Now that you've spent a whole day on the mountain you most likely feel a little more confident and adventurous. Start your day early with a hearty breakfast to fuel up for a day on the slopes. You can try the Big Bear Bistro or Loaded Joes.

Vail Mountain is massive and has terrain suitable for all skill levels, so be sure to choose a challenging trail if you're an advanced skier or snowboarder or head into the back bowls.

Stop for lunch at either Two Elk Lodge or SaddleRidge, two popular on-mountain restaurants where you can grab a bite to eat, and warm up by the fireplace.

Continue skiing or snowboarding and explore other parts of the mountain. Try out different trails and enjoy the stunning views that Vail has to offer.

After a long day on the slopes, head back to Lionshead Village for some après-ski activities. Grab a table at Garfinkel's or The Red Lion, to enjoy some food, drinks and live music.

For dinner, head to Up the Creek, located along Gore Creek below El Segundo, and enjoy their signature steaks, fresh seafood and extensive wine list.

End your night with a nightcap at Chasing Rabbits playing games in The Rabbit Hole or you can also check out the live music at Shakedown Bar.

Start your day with one last breakfast at The Little Diner in Lionshead Village or if you are looking for something nicer, you can head to Vintage.

After a nice breakfast, book a guided snowshoeing tour with Walking Mountains Science Center, which offers a unique way to explore the area's winter wonderland or a half-day snowmobile tour with Vail Backcountry.

For those wanting to indulge is something more relaxing, reserve a spa day at The Four Seasons Resort and Spa or The Hythe Recovery Spa which features a variety of massage and beauty services and access to their world-class amenities.

End your day with a final meal at Flame located inside The Four Seasons, offering high-end dining in a stylish atmosphere. The restaurant specializes in serving premium-aged meats, fresh seafood, and locally sourced produce. The menu features classic steakhouse dishes such as filet mignon, ribeye and porterhouse steaks, as well as a selection of sushi and sashimi.

Most flights out of Eagle Regional Airport are early in the morning and flights out of Denver International will vary by location. Travel during the winter time can be stressful and weather delays can occur so making arrangements in advance for transportation will be really important!

EPIC Mountain Express Shared Shuttle is one of the more popular options when it comes to ride-shares and airport transportation.

Pro Tip: if you are a family of four traveling to Vail or are even two adults traveling together I would book the private transfer. The cost of the Shared Shuttle is almost equal to a private ride for two to four passengers.

Additional days can vary based on what you are looking to do and will be dependent on the time of year. Also on how much skiing or snowboarding you are wanting to do and the days purchased on the pass. I would recommend venturing to Vail's Sister Mountain, Beaver Creek which is a close 15-minute drive West.
