Vail Resorts Unveils Summer 2026 Season Dates in Colorado and Utah

With the 2025/26 ski season officially in the rearview, Vail Resorts’ Colorado and Utah mountains are trading snow-covered slopes for sun-soaked adventure and summer energy. As the seasons change, resorts are gearing up to welcome guests back for a vibrant summer lineup of hiking, mountain biking, scenic lift rides, and elevated alpine experiences designed to keep the energy high long after the snow melts.

Summer excitement begins in early May, led by Keystone Resort, which kicks off the season with golf opening May 8 at The River Course. Additional resorts will follow soon after, launching a lineup of experiences featuring breathtaking alpine views, signature events, and family-first activities.

2026/27 Epic Pass Holders can take advantage of exclusive summer benefits, including unlimited scenic lift and gondola rides with select Passes, and 20% savings on dining, lodging, bike rentals, and golf at Keystone and Park City. For guests who haven't yet locked in on their Pass, eligible skiers and riders who visited any of the company’s 37 North American resorts with a lift ticket during the 2025/26 season can save up to $175 on the price of select Epic Pass products. With the new pricing, that means teens and young travelers (ages 13–30) could lock in an Epic Pass for as low as $694 or an Epic Local Pass for just $474.

More details will be announced as summer opening dates approach.
