Sure, Vail will be a popular destination for opening weekend — but do they have sharks?

One brave alternative to the festivities at 8,150 feet: snorkel or dive at the Downtown Aquarium. The sharks aren’t aggressive; some of them are downright snuggly, despite having skin like sandpaper. You need to be certified to dive, but snorkeling is open to anyone who can swim.

$50,000
