Packy Walker, whom the Vail Public Library calls a local legend, signs copies of his book Vail, the Early Days at the library on Thursday, October 22, 2026, from 5 to 6 pm. Books are for sale at the event, and he will share stories from the book as well as sign copies.

For visitors curious about how Vail grew into a ski town after the mountain opened in 1962, an hour with someone who has written about those first years is a good use of an October evening, before the lifts open.

Registration

The library asks you to register in advance through its event calendar, and there are 40 seats. No price is listed. The registration page also carries a standard note about online events, but the event description places the signing at the library itself; if in doubt, call the library before you go.

Where it is

The Vail Public Library is at 292 West Meadow Drive, between Vail Village and Lionshead, next to Dobson Arena. The nearest parking is the Lionshead Parking Structure, and the free in-town bus stops close by.

Good to know

The signing lasts an hour, so arrive near 5 pm if you want time to talk with the author. If you plan to buy a copy, the library does not say which payment methods are accepted.
