The Event

A Spring Celebration ~ Filled With Skiing and Après

Usher the winter out and leave your inhibitions behind, and come celebrate the warmer temperatures at Spring Back to Vail. Now in its fiftteenth year, Spring Back to Vail 2019 takes place from April 11th-14th, and always delivers optimal skiing conditions, delicious food, and a series of fun (and oftentimes downright zany) events throughout the course of the weekend. While the concert and apres party details are still being secured, so far, here’s what we’re certain you can expect:

Tikis and Tunes Luau

An authentic Hawaiian celebration ~ A mountain top party

On Saturday, April 13th, from 12-3pm, you’ll want to head to Sarge’s at Mid-Vail on the Terrace level. Everyone else will be. That’s because this is an annual event that features a giant pig roast, great live music, drink specials and a plethora of games and giveaways that will keep you in the perfect mood.

Bud Light Bags Tournament

A friendly competition ~ To become king of the mountain

Perhaps you prefer to keep those competitive juices flowing, in which case, you’ll want to slide over to the Bud Light Bags Tournament - also in Mid-Vail. The friendly cornhole competition begins on Saturday, April 13th, from 12-3pm. If you’re lucky enough to advance, the finals will then be held on Sunday, April 14th at Golden Peak (time TBD). Pick your partner wisely.

Free Concerts at Ford Park

Jam out to some live tunes ~ That are always in season

The announcement of the headliner for Saturday April 13th is coming soon, but as last year proved with Solaris, it’s sure to be a rockin’ good time. But don't worry, Friday April 12th will feature Gov't Mule, a rock band formed in 1994. Air guitars welcome.
