-

-
Enjoy an early lunch (before 11am) or a late lunch (after 1pm) to avoid the crowds at the on-mountain restaurants
-
Start your day on the Born Free Chair (chair 8) instead of the Eagle-Bahn Gondola

Check both sides of the lift lines - you will typically find shorter lines on the east side of Chair 2 (Avanti), west side of Chair 7 (Game Creek) and west side of Chair 21 (Orient Express)
-
Try a day at Beaver Creek - your lift ticket is valid at both Vail and Beaver Creek and the Beav' is only a short bus ride away
