Vail Mountain closes more terrain ahead of closing week
Chris Dillmann/Vail Daily
Vail Mountain closed China Bowl and Teacup Bowl this week, but Sun Up and Sun Down Bowls remain open as the mountain heads into its second-to-last weekend of the season.
The decision to close the eastern bowls was a game-time decision from the resort’s operations crews, who determine terrain openings based on conditions and guest patterns this time of year.
Rachel Levitsky, a spokesperson for Vail Mountain, said the decision was made “given the warm conditions,” and said more closures could come on a day-to-day basis.
Levitsky issued the following operations update for on-mountain lifts and restaurants heading into Vail Mountain’s final week of the season.
