VAIL— —Construction on some of the proposed summer activities on Vail Mountain could begin as early as this fall, Vail Mountain Chief Operating Officer Chris Jarnot told the Vail Economic Advisory Council Tuesday morning.
Jarnot updated the group on the summer proposals, which Vail Resorts CEO Rob Katz announced last month, and he also revealed more details about what some of the activities will look like and where they will go.
While Adventure Ridge will become the hub for most of the new summer additions such as zip lines and rope courses, those adventure tours will head out from Eagle’s Nest and will cover many areas on Vail’s front side.
Game Creek Bowl is the only area not on Vail’s front side included in the proposals, of which there are two. There is nothing proposed for Vail’s Back Bowls or in Blue Sky Basin, the more pristine and undeveloped environments on Vail Mountain.
The first, a phase one proposal submitted in the spring, could be approved “any day now,” and construction should begin this fall, Jarnot said.
