Try to catch first chair and, from there, make your way to Vail’s legendary Back Bowls. While Blue Sky Basin is friendly to intermediate skiers and riders (snow boarders, be prepared for cat-tracks to Blue Sky), Sun Down Bowl is the place to be on a powder day. After conquering the Back Bowls, you’re free to explore the front side including Blue Ox is a must try.

I liked this site: http://www.bikevalet.net – probably a really good place to rent a bike. They have great rides where they take you up in the mountains – really liked the Shrine Pass description – take a look (that is a pic of the ride to the right). There is also the Gore Valley Trail (a paved bike path that runs along Gore Creek from East Vail through Lionshead and past Minturn, is a great way to enjoy the scenes of town on a bicycle. ) Mountain biking is a blast.
