Spring break—the perfect excuse for a girls' getaway to the Rocky Mountains. If you're looking for the best spring break destinations for a memorable ski trip with friends, look no further.
We've curated the perfect 72-hour itinerary for an unforgettable Vail Valley or Summit County spring break trip.
Day 1: Toast to a perfect ski trip with friends
Upon arrival, kick off your girls’ getaway by checking into your cozy condo or hotel. Take the stress out of meal planning by having the concierge arrange a delightful spread, or go all out and indulge in a personal chef for the ultimate culinary experience.
If you're a first-timer or it's been a while since you hit the slopes, sign up for a lesson to get yourself familiar with being on the slopes. Let a staff member guide you through the runs and share insider favorites. After carving some spring snow, enjoy a sun-soaked lunch on a mountain patio, or opt for a slope-side après to round out the afternoon.
As the sun sets, treat yourselves to a wine adventure at a chic yet comfortable spot like The Met, one of Beaver Creek’s best wine bars.
Day 2: Explore the mountain and village
Start the day with a leisurely breakfast in the village, followed by a latte to fuel your adventures. Whether you're in Eagle County at Vail or Beaver Creek or soaking in the scenery at Breckenridge or Keystone in Summit County, there's plenty of terrain to satisfy your squad.
Reserve a group lesson with friends to continue to grow your skills while exploring more of the mountain. Instructors will provide guidance specific to each person's ability, ensuring a fun day on the slopes.
Enjoy the afternoon exploring the charming villages of Beaver Creek or Vail, with outdoor shopping (be sure to visit Gorsuch, a local snow and fashion icon), art galleries (Frisco’s GatherHouse and Vail Fine Art Gallery are a must), and boogie-worthy live music in local bars and restaurants.
End the day by indulging in a unique dinner at a mountaintop restaurant accessed by an open-aired sleighride. Allie’s Cabin, a can’t-be-missed experience, is tucked away in a quiet grove of aspen trees overlooking Beaver Creek village.
Also accessed via sleigh ride, Beano's Cabin is high-altitude fine dining nestled in a luxurious log hideaway at the base of Beaver Creek’s Larkspur Bowl.
Day 3: Totally escape
To wrap spring break relaxed, book a luxurious spa day with massage or treatments at The Spa at the Arrabelle at Vail Square.
In Summit County, the Alpenglow Spa in Keystone are excellent choices to revel in rejuvenation.
A girls' spring break in the Rockies is not just a getaway; it's a celebration of friendship promising an unforgettable escape for you and your best friends.
