This year it felt like summer went on until mid October with a sudden change to almost Winter in the first week of November. The mountain has now opened and Whistler Blackcomb is working hard to keep the slopes maintained. As many of you know, the Creekside Gondola and Big Red Express have not been finished for opening day and Vail has set up a shuttle Bus to get all ‘Creeksiders’ to the Village. They have their own lift line to upload with priority. The Vail hours of operation from November 24 to January 28 2022 are 8.15am to 3pm. From January 29th the first upload will be at 8.30am and the lifts will close at 3.30pm. And after February 25 the mountain will stay open until 4pm. Guest Services are open everyday from 8am until 5pm to help you with your lift passes and any other inquiry that are related to Vail resorts.
