Yeti Ford Alpine Adventure

Winter Experience

A family-Friendly Adventure

Yeti Ford Alpine Adventure is a spectacular, community-focused winter art exhibit hosted by Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, featuring larger than life yeti sculptures transformed into unique masterpieces by local schoolchildren. This exhibit is an exciting collaboration between the Gardens, Town of Vail’s Art in Public Places, and multiple local schools, designed to provide students with the invaluable experience of creating large-scale public art. See the Yetis daily from dawn to dusk through March, and celebrate the exceptional talent within the Vail community. Winters
