Please Note: The town is no longer taking applications for the Vail Trailblazer Award. Information on a reimagined community recognition is coming in the summer of 2026, as part of the 60th celebration of the town's incorporation.

The Trailblazer Award was created as a legacy project when the Town of Vail was preparing to celebrate its 50th birthday on August 23, 2016. A Town Council committee was formed to develop the idea and select the first recipient of the award.

Trailblazer Award Recipients

The Vail Trailblazer Award was presented to recognize an individual, couple or team that has made a lasting impact in making Vail a great community through one or more actions. Recipients were recognized for their pioneering contributions of time and talent, courage, leadership, vision and commitment in their endeavor to enhance Vail’s social, recreational, cultural, educational and environmental values that define the community.
