The North Face Vail Landmark

The North Face at the Landmark sits in Lionshead, a short walk from the Eagle Bahn Gondola — close enough that a quick detour on the way to the mountain is genuinely easy, and close enough that when something fails on the hill, the fix is not far off.

The store carries the full official range rather than a trimmed resort selection: outerwear, backpacks, and gear across men's, women's, and children's lines, plus footwear. That breadth matters when a blown zip or a jacket that turned out not to be as waterproof as promised needs replacing mid-trip rather than planned for.

Before you buy new, ask about the Renewed line of refurbished gear. It is usually the better value in the store, and worth a look even if you came in for something else. Most people end up here without having planned to — which is exactly the honest use case, and why it pays to know it is there before the weather makes the decision for you.
