Vail sits at about 8,500 feet above sea level, and Camp Hale at 9,200 feet above sea level. Altitude may or may not affect you. Hydration is incredibly important.

If you would like to err on the side of precaution, many people have mentioned the drug Diamox as a way to prevent or limit high altitude sickness. We recommend consulting your doctor if this is right for you.

If you are having trouble getting acclimated you can buy oxygen cans around the village and many of the hotel spas will have oxygen bars.
