For many visitors to Vail, maximising one’s time on the slopes is a priority, and bothering with equipment, transportation and other details is a necessary burden. Not so for guests of Four Seasons Resort Vail, where every consideration has been anticipated. The effortless experience begins in the Resort’s lobby, where boot fittings and ski rentals are arranged in advance. Then, at the Vista Bahn chairlift, the Four Seasons Ski Concierge is a comprehensive facility that features a lounge and private lockers, where guests’ boots and perfectly fitted skis await. Equipment is also available for rental or purchase, and a full-service team waxes and tunes based on the day’s conditions and skier preferences. Hot drinks and muffins are complimentary, and lessons can be arranged for all ages, from beginner to expert. At the end of the day, simply leave gear behind and head into town for the après-ski scene, knowing that everything will be ready for the next day.
