About

Two Elk Lodge sits high on Vail Mountain, above the Back Bowls, and the Vail Sports counter inside it is about as far from a village shop as a rental counter gets. That distance is exactly the point.

Its usefulness is specific. If a binding needs adjusting mid-run, a boot has started to hurt, or a glove has gone missing on the far side of the mountain, this saves the long ride back to the village, and the afternoon that goes with it. From the Back Bowls especially, that ride is not a small thing.

Retail and adjustments are both handled on site. Come here to fix a problem, not to start a rental from scratch. You need a lift ticket to reach it, and it runs on mountain hours, so plan accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Vail Sports - Two Elk?
Inside Two Elk Lodge on Vail Mountain, on the saddle of China Bowl above the Back Bowls. It is an on-mountain counter, not a village shop: the lodge sits atop the Sourdough Express (#14), Tea Cup Express (#36), Orient Express (#21), and Sun Up Express (#9) lifts.
Do you need a lift ticket to get there?
Yes. Vail Resorts lists Two Elk with "Lift Access Required: Yes" and "Skier Access Required: Yes" (vail.com). There is no road or non-skier access; you reach the shop on skis or a snowboard with a valid lift ticket or Epic Pass.
What is this Vail Sports location for?
Mid-mountain help. It handles adjustments and problems with gear you are already using (a binding that needs attention, a boot that has started to hurt) and sells a selection of products in store. Its value is not having to ride back to the village and lose the afternoon.
Can you start a ski rental there?
It is not a rental pickup location. Vail Sports rentals are booked through the chain's village stores and epicmountainrentals.com; no source lists Two Elk for rental pickup. Use this counter to fix an existing rental, and start a new rental at a village location.
What are the hours?
The shop runs daytime mountain hours during the winter season. Vail Resorts' official store page publishes no set hours for this counter and refers visitors to its Google listing, so check current lift and lodge operations before counting on it.
Is it open in summer?
Plan on winter only. Two Elk Lodge's official season is Winter (vail.com), and no official source shows the counter operating in summer. Summer references to "Two Elk" online are mostly to the mountain-bike trail country around the lodge, not to the shop.
Is this the same as the Two Elk Lodge restaurant?
No. They share the building. The lodge is Vail's largest on-mountain dining lodge (quick-service tacos and burritos, plus the Two Elk Biergarten). The Vail Sports counter inside it is for gear help and retail. Different operation, different phone number.
How do you get in touch?
Call the shop at (970) 754-4486. That is the shop's own number; Two Elk Lodge dining uses a different number, so be sure you are calling the right one.
