About

Vail Sports - Eagle's Nest is the resort's own ski shop at the top of the Eagle Bahn Gondola, in the Eagle's Nest complex above Lionshead. Its value is location: a forgotten pair of goggles, gloves that have given up, or a tune question can be dealt with on the mountain instead of on a gondola ride down to the village.

It suits skiers and riders already up the hill, and parents meeting children for lunch at Eagle's Nest who realise someone is missing a layer. For a full rental fitting or a new pair of boots, the bigger village stores are the better starting point.

Getting there

Eagle's Nest sits at the top of the Eagle Bahn Gondola (#19), which boards in Lionshead Village, and of Pride Express (#26) for skiers already on the mountain. Non-skiers can ride the gondola up with a valid ticket or pass, so the shop is reachable without skis.

What the shop is for

This is one of nine Vail Sports locations run by Vail Resorts. The network rents ski and snowboard equipment, sells gear and apparel, fits boots, and tunes skis and boards overnight, with tune drop-off and pickup at any Vail Sports location. At Eagle's Nest, expect a smaller on-mountain selection than the village stores; call ahead if you need something specific.

Before you go

Vail Resorts does not publish opening hours for this shop, and it follows the mountain's operating days, so call before riding up for it, particularly outside the main ski season. Book rentals online for the best price; Epic Pass holders get an extra 20% off through Epic Mountain Rewards.

Inside Eagle's Nest

Eagle's Nest is the on-mountain dining building the shop sits in, with the quick-service Marketplace, Simba's Cafe and Upper Crust Pizza; lunch there is the obvious pairing with a shop stop. Bistro 14, the bistro and full bar, is in the same building, and Epic Discovery, the summer activity area, is based at Eagle's Nest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Vail Sports - Eagle's Nest?
On Vail Mountain, inside Eagle's Nest, the dining and activity complex at the top of the Eagle Bahn Gondola (#19) above Lionshead Village. It is also reached on skis via Pride Express (#26). There is no street address: the official store page locates it simply as "On Vail Mountain Eagle's Nest."
How do I get there without skiing?
Ride the Eagle Bahn Gondola from Lionshead Village. You need a lift ticket, pass, or gondola ticket valid for the ride; the shop cannot be reached by car or on foot from the village.
What are the opening hours?
Vail Resorts does not publish hours for this shop. It follows the mountain's operating days and the Eagle Bahn Gondola's schedule, so call (970) 754-4421 before riding up. Vail Mountain opens for Winter 2026/27 on Friday, November 13, 2026, and operates daily from then.
Can I rent skis or a snowboard here?
Vail Sports rents ski and snowboard equipment across its network, and this store is set up for slopeside pickup: its own Google panel line reads "Order online and pick up slopeside." Book online for the best price, and call this location to confirm what it holds on the mountain before counting on a specific size or model.
Is there a discount for Epic Pass holders?
Yes. Epic Pass holders get an extra 20% off rentals booked online through Epic Mountain Rewards.
Can I drop off skis for a tune?
Yes. Vail Sports offers ski and snowboard tuning with overnight turnaround at most locations, and drop-off and pickup are available at any Vail Sports location, including this one, the on-mountain drop-off is the point: no gondola ride down with a ski problem.
How do I contact the shop?
Phone (970) 754-4421, or email [email protected]. Note the near-identical number (970) 754-4417 belongs to Mid Vail, the other on-mountain store at the top of Gondola One; check the last digit.
Is it open in summer?
Eagle's Nest and the Eagle Bahn Gondola operate in summer on a limited schedule (Epic Discovery, the summer activity area, is based at Eagle's Nest), but the shop's summer hours are not published. In late summer 2026 the gondola ran Friday to Sunday only. Call ahead before riding up for the shop.
