T-Mobile, the nation’s 5G leader, has been chosen by Vail Resorts, the country’s largest mountain resort operator, as its exclusive nationwide wireless partner in a multi-year deal to bring 5G innovation to the slopes. The companies will leverage the nation’s largest, fastest, and most reliable 5G network to improve connectivity for resort employees and guests, explore 5G-powered solutions to enhance resort operations, and support sustainability goals. T-Mobile will expand and enhance its network at the resorts with additional coverage and capacity.
Through its Commitment to Zero, Vail Resorts is committed to achieving a zero net operating footprint by 2030 and is focused on partnering with companies that align with shared values. This partnership with T-Mobile – the first provider to achieve 100% of its total electricity usage with renewable energy by the end of 2021 – will allow the companies to explore ways of working together to meet Vail Resorts’ ambitious goals of zero waste to landfill, zero impact to forests and habitat, and zero net emissions.
“T-Mobile’s 5G can help customers revolutionize their operations. For customers like Vail Resorts, that starts with connecting employees today, and in the future, we can deliver advanced business solutions, create unparalleled visitor experiences and support sustainability efforts. This is just the beginning of what we can help businesses unleash in unexpected places and industries.”

- Fast, reliable 5G connectivity for guests and resort employees alike.
- 5G Advanced Network Solutions for delivering customer service and care innovations.
T-Mobile is the leader in 5G, delivering the country’s largest, fastest, and most reliable 5G network. The Un-carrier’s Extended Range 5G covers 325 million people across 1.9 million square miles – more than AT&T and Verizon combined. 265 million people nationwide are covered by T-Mobile’s super-fast Ultra Capacity 5G, and the Un-carrier plans to reach 300 million people with Ultra Capacity this year.
That’s exactly what we need. More dingbats facedown on their cell phones.
