Shortcut to the Slopes: Staff Favorites for the Best Ski Access in Vail Valley

The perfect ski day looks a little different for everyone. Some love chasing first tracks while others linger over coffee in front of the fire. That’s why ski access matters. Whether you’re skiing straight from the home or taking a short walk to the lift, it’s easy to come and go as you please. Get kids off early for ski school, take a break and ski home for hot chocolate breaks or lunch, and then slide straight into après or the hot tub at the end of the day. No crowds, no hassle! Our team picked their favorite homes where getting on (and off) the mountain is effortless.

Walk one direction to the Strawberry Park Express chairlift or the other way straight to the Beaver Creek Village and the Centennial Lift.
