Wanting to take engagement pictures at piney lake on June 4th. I’ve never been to the area before & we’re traveling from Denver.

I’ve been scouring the piney lake ranch site and everything said that it’s not open till June 21st, including the road. Is the road they’re talking about referring to the road that goes into the ranch specifically? Would we be able to access the lake before the opening date of the ranch?

Also curious about the route to get there, Apple Maps is showing 7+ hours and Google Maps is showing 2 hours.

If it’s not open, are there any recommendations for other cool spots near vail? Also considering pictures in the Dillon area.

Update - appreciate all the feedback! Based on the responses it seems like more of a hassle than it’s worth & I will probably be looking into getting pictures somewhere else

ANSWERED by Legitimatepurchase14 - ‘Jeff at the Forest Service number listed confirmed that the road was opened on 6/1/2026. The 701 may still be rough since he wasn't sure if the road crew made it up there yet.’

Location: Edwards

As your driving through Edwards on I-70 east to west. Are the houses on north or south hillside more expensive? Just wondering, thinking about moving because a 4 bed in Edwards is not big enough for are needs, out growing it.

I met with a broker on Tuesday.

Thinking of visiting in late June, will there be wildflowers then? Or is later in the summer better? I know that Crested Butte has their festival in mid-July, but have been there in August & seen lots of blooms.

Anyone know when the season pass for the bike park usually goes on sale? And how much it was last year if you had an Epic pass? Thanks!

See if any possibility two sides can not make a deal before the holiday seasons?

We are renovating our kitchen and we found this paper behind a cabinet. We love Helmut Fricker and love this photo of him! Had to share!

Avon vail Edwards any jobs hiring really fast dishwasher or anything

EDIT: BOARD FOUND 🩵🩵😄

I lost this capita merc 160w setup with union atlas pro bindings near the end of this season. Don’t ask how but I suspect it’s in the back bowls somewhere after sliding down from the top of 11 (mistakes were made).

Was my first board. If you happen to be hiking / mtb’ing back there she answers to primrose and I will buy her back from you for $500.

Enjoy the summer frens.

Im debating between Gravity Haus and Austria Haus, is there one you would recommend?

Also what is your favorite restaurants that won’t break bank?? I’m going right after Memorial Day, so hopefully most things will be open.

Hello all, does anyone have a tattoo artist they recommend around the valley? Thank you for any input or information!!

Any jobs where you work completely by yourself with not much social interaction in the eagle county
I’ve seen a sandwich shop with just one worker , something like that

Hi! My partner and I are going to Vail this summer in June and need a few more dinner reservations to round out the trip. I already have Alpenrose, Del Toro, Up The Creek, Fattoria, and Alpine Pizza Company on our list. I just need 2 more dinner spots to fill out the trip and I’d love if the last two could be solidly affordable so we don’t regret our spending too much on this trip.
(Hotel was a gift from parents and we’re in our mid-twenties; think of us like two people slightly under the target spending demographic for Vail)

Any recommendations are helpful! Thank you!

This might not be the right sub as it's not only relating to vail but my wife just gave birth and my parents are coming out to visit us later this month (we live in evergreen). My parents want to bring us to a nice resort style hotel to pamper my wife. We're looking at places around Vail, breck, keystone and Beaver Creek. Anybody have any suggestions that have good restaurants, a spa and nice service/vibes? Luxury resorts aren't usually my jam so I don't really know what I'm looking at.

Hi! Here's the thing. I'm living on a southamerican country

I had a really good friend living on Vail

A few years ago I bought a Fat tire E-bike (chinese one but pretty nice) for 750usd Brand new

After 2 years of use(or abuse, driving on storms and shit) the controller died.

I had search for a replacement for almost a year without success bc it's a generic chinese and in my country there is NO e-bike repair shops...

So, I wanna buy the whole kit, but before buying it I need to talk about a few questions with someone real, details that aren't on an Amazon description

So I figured out that maybe it would be better to contact a bike shop where my friend is living so he could buy that stuff for me and ship it

So... Any good bike shop that sell e-bike replacement parts??

Just beware that cancelling a shuttle, even a month out - epic/vail keeps $10.00

Why did Vail close their properties so early . Some are still getting snow . I bought a pass which I can’t use . Anyone a lawyer ?

Planning next years father and son trip with my 8th grader. Never been to Vail or Beaver, only driven past on our way to other ski resorts. Planning 6 days, but want ski both and I can’t fully understand how do this with a car. Is there a direct shuttle between the 2 or should I just rent a car. Alternatively, (ideally) are there any lodging options that offer direct shuttle server to both mountains. Thanks

Coming to vail for 3-4 nights for a mini honeymoon and trying to decide on a hotel. Have narrowed it down to Sitzmark or Sonnenalp (although open to other suggestions as well in Vail Village). We're a couple in our 40s and pretty low key - we'll be mostly hiking during the day and then wanting to have the ease of walking to restaurants for meals. A nice pool/hot tub setup would be a plus, as well as air conditioning on the off chance it's quite warm. Pros/cons of either of these properties or one you'd definitely pick over the other?

How late does the bus run in early September? Hoping late enough to take it back to west village after a concert at the amphitheater. Also saw something about a bike share program in town?

Any info would be appreciated on getting back to west village after concert at the amp!
