Minturn – More then a Sidetown!
Minturn , Colorado there’s always something going on in this charming town, just minutes from Vail, Beaver Creek, Avon, and Edwards. Be sure to visit Minturn online and in person.
According to the Minturn Saloon website, The Minturn Mile is one of the most famous “off-piste” or “out-of-bounds” ski runs in the world. It is accessed from the top of chairs 3 or 7 on Vail Mountain and then by taking the out of bounds access gate at the top of the turn on the “Lost Boy” trail. An ability level of upper intermediate or better is suggested to enjoy the experience. Once you reach the bottom, your choice of dinner/drinks/snacks begins at The Turntable and extends down Main Street with the Minturn Saloon, Sticky Fingers Cafe & Bakery, Minturn Country Club, Nicky’s Quickie and Kirby Cosmo’s BBQ Bar. Please remember this is out of bounds terrain and is not patrolled! You are on your own and will pay a monetary fee if rescue is needed.
