This morning, Vail Mountain opened its famed Legendary Back Bowls for the 2024/25 winter season. This marks the earliest opening of the Back Bowls since 2018. Vail Mountain’s Sun Up and Sun Down Bowls will open with High Noon Express (#5) and Sun Down Express (#17), and the resort now offers more than 2,000 acres of skiing and snowboarding with more terrain expected soon.
