Programs & Events
Night Owls!
Join us for two owl-themed events at the Museum this month, in partnership with the Town of Vail's Art in Public Places. For us, owls and winter are a natural pair. Their silent flight through snow-covered forests captures the same magical feeling as carving first tracks, weaving through tree runs, or exploring the backcountry on a perfect winter day.
Beanies & Bourbon

Saturday, January 25th, 4 to 6 pm
Join us for a special -Beanies & Bourbon- après ski event located at the Colorado Snowsports Museum.
