HELMET POLICY:
Vail encourages our guests to consider the advantages and disadvantages that a winter sport helmet may offer. Regardless of whether or not you choose to wear a helmet, every winter sport participant shares responsibility for his or her safety and for that of others using the ski area facilities.

Vail recommends the use of helmets for children 14 years and younger while participating in our children's ski and snowboard school programs. Rental helmets are available at our children's ski and snowboard school locations for your convenience. Also, our retail locations carry a wide variety of helmets for children and adults.
