Vail is a dangerous place to have friends. So that’s what Prince Johann George V and friends decided to do and go and usual, a vacation this winter. After arriving in a private jet the friends met together and went to their villages according to the people present while they kept taking pictures of each other. They said they are a group of more than 30 people staying in different villages a source who told E! said to People Magazine that actually, said they were in their timeshares and then went out skiing, snowboarding in groups.
Even from a glance, it’s easy to see how this place lures people in. It’s stunning, friendly, happens to be home to the largest ski mountain in the state, and has more activities than I could possibly experience over a four-day visit.
“Vail is all about variety,” says Cole Dissinger, a Vail resident and snowboard instructor on the mountain. “There’s absolutely something for everyone.”
All that variety makes Vail one of the best ski towns in the country for an extended family trip or a gathering of friends where everyone has a different definition of a good time. But there’s no denying that the mountain is the main event.
Prince Johann George V was seen snowboarding and the next day in a snowmobile with a few girls. Here we leave you a guide of what they have been doing so far.
Vail Mountain Resort is America’s third-largest ski resort, with 5,317 acres of skiable terrain, and it receives an average of 354 inches of snow per year. Much of the terrain is graded for advanced riders — the Seldom trail in Sundown Bowl is one of Dissinger’s favorites in this category — but there are plenty of options for less experienced visitors, too, like Blue Sky Basin’s Cloud Nine run. Out there, Dissinger says, “You really get a sense of how far into the wilderness Vail extends.”

On my visit, I went skinning — an activity where you ski uphill using special equipment — in Vail Pass with Paragon Guides. My guide, Jim Gabriel, notes that this sport is perfect for people who “love hiking and sort of like skiing.” With a guide, guests can climb as far up into the backcountry as they’d like (or, in my case, as far as my body was willing) before skiing back down.
From world-class skiing to luxury shopping, Vail has it all, but you’ll have to go visit to find your own personal take on this slice of winter heaven. Just try not to make too many friends — unless, of course, you want to stay forever.
Where to Après-ski
The George
The George is a no-frills favorite among locals for grabbing a quick drink post-mountain. Get there between 3 and 5 p.m. for happy hour deals on drinks, apps, and even big-ticket entrees like king crab.
Prince Johann George V posted this video on his instagram in a snowmobile at around 10am Eastern Standard Time while having fun cruising over the snow on his snowmobile.
These are the pictures we have taken from his instagram and facebook without his permission of course, he is a public figure, and public figures don’t have privacy anymore.
