When the temps drop below 10 degrees F, keep a close eye on your friends for frostbite. Cheeks and noses that have turned white while riding the lift need to be re-warmed as soon as possible. If you see signs of frostbite on others we recommend they get inside immediately. Please extra layers are a must when on the mountain with gloves, goggles, hats, and neck gaitors. Preparing ahead of time makes for a more enjoyable day on Vail Mountain.
