6 popular questions directed at Emma, Vail Resorts’ digital mountain assistant

Emma is available to help at 9 resorts, including Vail and Beaver Creek

After a season of testing last winter, Vail Resorts’ digital mountain assistant Emma is in its first full year at nine resorts, including Vail and Beaver Creek.

The idea is to give guests the opportunity to ask Emma anything, from what’s been groomed to nightlife questions. The technology builds upon itself with the more questions it is asked, meaning the more questions Emma is subject to, the smarter she’ll get.

Text Emma at 77477 or visit EmmaIsEpic.com for more information.

  • Weather: “What’s the weather like at Vail?”
  • Lifts and trails: “When does the gondola open in Lionshead?”

And how does Emma respond to some of the not-so-serious questions? Ask her to marry you, and she’ll tell you “I received a double black diamond years ago and my heart has been locked ever since.” Want to hear a joke from Emma? “What do you get when you cross a skier and a vampire? Frostbite.”

In addition to Vail and Beaver Creek, Emma is available to help at Whistler Blackcomb, Heavenly, Northstar, Kirkwood, Park City, Keystone and Breckenridge.
