Many of us in the Vail Valley had an interesting day yesterday when our internet went down. It hit us pretty hard here at the Vail Daily, but we were able to push through it.<\/p>\n
But what are you supposed to do when you can’t push through? Here’s some ideas to keep you occupied when you can’t get into Instagram:<\/p>\n
Hit the slopes<\/p>\n
This one’s a total no-brainer, but here’s your friendly reminder that we do have several places where you can find gear (if you don’t already have it) and hit the slopes.<\/p>\n
Not only can you rent gear from Vail Sports itself, but you can also find deals at Christy Sports, Black Tie Ski Rentals, American Ski Exchange and many more.<\/p>\n
Then, head out to Vail or Beaver Creek\u2014both of which have plenty of acreage open for skiiers and snoboarders\u2014and enjoy a day (or more) out on the hill.<\/p>\n
Be sure to check weather and road conditions before you head out.<\/p>\n
Visit the Colorado Snowsports Museum and Hall of Fame<\/p>\n
If you love winter but don’t feel like skiing, you can visit the Colorado Snowsports Museum and Hall of Fame to take in the history of skiing, the 10th Mountain Division, the winter Olympics and more.<\/p>\n
The Museum is located in the Vail Village Welcome Center and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.<\/p>\n
