About
Express Lift is Vail Mountain's own bar at the base of Gondola One in Vail Village, an outdoor, quick-service après spot with mountain views. You can walk up in ski boots off the last run or wander over from the village, and no lift ticket is needed.
It suits groups meeting up after skiing, people who want a beer and a bratwurst without waiting for a table, and anyone who wants the base-area energy at the end of the day. It is a winter-only, daytime bar, not a place for dinner.
