The Vail life
Experiences
On the mountain
First tracks on Simba
The Simba run begins at the base of the ski chalet. Before the lifts open, before the valley wakes, the mountain is yours. Vail's legendary back bowls lie beyond — 2,700 acres of expert terrain accessible without a vehicle, without logistics, without compromise.
Après-ski
The evening after
The Chophouse is a short walk. Mountain Standard serves cocktails with the precision of a culinary kitchen. And when nothing outside compares, the fire pits at Solaire hold their own — copper bowls, good wine, the valley at 8,000 feet.
Dining
Vail's table
Elway's for prime beef with the right bottle. Sweet Basil for thirty years of Colorado refinement. Matsuhisa for Nobu's mountain outpost. A private chef arranged through the concierge, cooking in the copper kitchen, for evenings that never leave the estate.
Summer
The other season
The trails begin at the door in June. Vail Mountain Bike Park, the Gore Range, the village festival calendar. The pool is heated, the valley is green, and Solaire in summer is a different estate entirely — quieter, warmer, less expected.
