Partner Press Release from Antlers Vail

Vail, Colorado – January 7, 2026 – Originally designed for skiing by Army veterans in the early 1960s, Vail has morphed over the decades into a snow lover’s paradise with reliable ski conditions, epic terrain and superb opportunities and amenities that cater to visitors who appreciate the unique mountain lifestyle. The area’s original “skiing first” design “still shapes the area,” writes Conde Nast Traveler, which just offered up an “ultimate guide” to “Colorado’s swanky ski town,” including a recommended stay at Antlers at Vail hotel, which the magazine calls “something special” with its “condominium-style units (studios through four-bedrooms) with kitchens, gas fireplaces, and private balconies, plus access to a year-round heated outdoor pool, hot tubs, on-slope ski and snowboard storage, and complimentary ride services within Vail Village.”

Antlers’ optimal Lionshead Village location offers pedestrian-friendly roaming with wide, heated walkways and “easier access for families,” writes CNT, that is also “steps from the Eagle Bahn Gondola” for prime Vail Mountain Resort skiing. Other snowy outdoor fun recommended by the magazine includes Nordic options through the Vail Nordic Center, with cross-country and snowshoe trails, snowmobiling through operators like Sage Outdoor Adventure, and renting fat bikes to explore the area in the snow, as well as ice skating at the Vail Square and Solaris Plaza rinks. Visitors can find fascinating Vail history at the Colorado Snowsports Museum and get their shopping fix via Vail’s vibrant roundup of outdoor gear offerings and specialty boutiques, including popular Western wear shops like Kemo Sabe, or Alpine Kind where guests can custom design their own stylish felt hats.
