Did You Know?
Altitude changes the way the ball flies here — and the tennis calendar runs on a mountain summer. Two highlights:
At mountain-resort elevation the thinner air makes the ball fly faster and bounce higher, so timing, footwork and fitness matter more — part of what gives Vail, Summit County and Steamboat their distinct playing feel.
Most mountain programs peak in summer, when outdoor courts, camps, clinics and socials draw locals, second-home owners and visitors together — a short, intense season rather than a year-round one.
