Skiing the Minturn Mile from Vail mountain down to the town of Minturn is one of the classic Apre ski activities in Vail. Be forewarned, it is for advanced skiers only that are familiar with the back-country, prepared for back-country skiing, can make quick turns in deep powder and are physically fit . It starts with a hike to Ptarmigan ridge on the West side of Vail’s Sun Down Bowl. After a break at the top it is time to head through the gate and some powder skiing. Make sure you have someone that is familiar with the trail and the area to guide you. Once you get all the way down you have a hike to the Minturn Saloon for some beer and margaritas. To get back to Vail grab the bus back or better yet, have a friend pick you up. You won’t be in any condition to drive anyhow…
