At Slifer Smith and Frampton, we know Eagle County inside and out, and we’re here to share some of our favorite winter experiences to make your season unforgettable.
Skiing and Snowboarding in Vail Valley
For skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts, Game Creek Bowl in Vail is a dream destination. With its stunning views, diverse terrain, and peaceful atmosphere, it’s an unforgettable experience. In Beaver Creek, McCoy Park stands out as the newest terrain designed for learners and families. Its 17 new trails and two lifts make it a perfect spot to explore groomed glades in a tranquil setting.
Relaxation and Rejuvenation
If relaxation is what you seek, there’s no better place than Iron Mountain Hot Springs. Featuring 16 geothermal soaking pools with breathtaking views of the Colorado River and surrounding mountains, it’s the ideal spot to unwind. For a luxurious wellness experience, visit the BioMed Spa at Manor Vail Lodge, where you can indulge in advanced skincare treatments, massage therapy, and more.
Thrilling Winter Activities
Thrill-seekers will love snowmobiling through the snow-covered landscapes of the Rockies. We recommend booking a tour with experts like Nova Guides or Sage Outdoor Adventures for a safe and exhilarating experience. For family-friendly fun, snow tubing is a must. Adventure Ridge offers exciting tubing hills perfect for all ages, ensuring endless laughs and thrills. For those who enjoy a more serene pace, cross-country skiing in Vail Valley is a must. With trails at the Vail Nordic Center and the Nordic Sports Center at Beaver Creek, you can explore the breathtaking mountain scenery while staying active.
Family-Friendly Fun
The Vail Valley also offers countless opportunities for memorable family moments. A magical horse-drawn sleigh ride with Bearcat Stables or 4 Eagle Ranch is an unforgettable experience under the starry Colorado skies. For ice skating, head to the rinks in Vail Village, Lionshead, or Beaver Creek Village to glide across the ice with loved ones. And if you’re looking for indoor fun, bowling at Deca + Bol in Vail or The Back Bowl in Eagle will provide plenty of laughter and memories.
