The number listed for Vail Ski Resort is 970-754-8245, a United States line for the Colorado mountain, and guest services on the mountain is the right route for anything happening that day: a lift, a lesson, a rental or a lost item.

Passes, tickets and online bookings are held in the account the purchase was made in, and those questions go to the pass and ticket desk of the operator rather than to the mountain. Sign in first and quote the order number.

Have the pass or ticket number, the date of the visit, the confirmation email and any photographs ready before you make contact, and put the same thing in writing so the date is on record.

Lifts closed for the day and the ticket charged in full anyway? We put the complaint in writing and push it out by email, social media and printed post.

Refunds on passes and lift tickets are decided by the terms you accepted at purchase and by deadlines set before the season starts, not by how the trip actually turned out. Read the refund, credit, transfer and insurance terms attached to your specific product and write down the cut off dates.

Season products usually come with their own coverage for listed events such as injury, illness or job loss, and that coverage normally needs a claim with documentation inside a set window, so a doctor's note or an employer letter is worth getting immediately rather than later. Advance day tickets are often stricter than passes. Keep the confirmation email, the purchase date and a screenshot of the terms as they read on the day you bought.

Money locked in after your plans changed? Take it through our complaint process and we help you write the claim in minutes, with the terms and the dates set out.

Closures for weather, wind, avalanche control or staffing are normal at a mountain resort, and lift tickets are rarely refunded for them, because the terms allow operations to change. Where a claim does exist is a paid product that was not delivered at all: a lesson that did not run, a rental that was not available, a room that changed, or a day when the mountain or the access road did not open.

Photograph the lift status board, save the day's snow and lift report, and keep the booking confirmation and any message the resort sent. Ask in writing for a credit or a refund for the specific product that failed, with its own reference number, rather than for the trip as a whole, since a precise claim is much harder to refuse.

Paid for a lesson or a rental that never ran? Bring the case here too, and the next skier turned down for a credit on the same product can find your case and see how the resort answered it.

Cancel through the booking account and get the cancellation confirmed in writing with a reference. Lessons, rentals, lodging and lift products each carry their own cancellation window and are often held in different systems, so cancelling one does not cancel the rest.

Check the deadline on the confirmation email rather than the general terms on the site, because the terms for your booking are the ones that count. Season products can also carry an automatic renewal that charges a card months after the snow has gone, so look for the renewal setting in the account and turn it off if you do not want it. Screenshot every confirmation and check the card statement afterwards.

Often not. Vail has seen a sharp rise in fake lift tickets, many sold cheaply on Craigslist or Facebook, and a federal fraud case involved 'discounted' Epic passes advertised on online marketplaces and paid for through payment apps. Tickets and passes bought directly from the resort are the only ones you can be sure of.

Nothing has been reported about Vail Ski Resort here yet. Our research shows what typically goes wrong at destination ski resorts: passes and lift tickets that are hard to refund, credit or transfer when plans, weather or an injury intervene; terrain, lifts or access roads closed by conditions with no compensation; long lift and gondola lines and crowded runs in peak weeks; parking that fills early or costs more than expected; and ski school, rental and lodging bookings changed or cancelled at short notice.
