VAIL

Vail Mountain Resort sets the benchmark for what skiing and riding should be. Consistently ranked as the #1 North American ski resort, the terrain is unparalleled and the village is charming.

SKI Magazine readers recognized Vail Mountain as the No. 1 ski resort in North America for the 14th time. In the 19th annual October “Top 50 Resort Guide” issue, magazine editors noted that while Vail is “all things to all people”, they credit the resort’s execution of utilizing its natural assets, featuring four terrain parks, seven bowls and 5,289 acres of distinctly different terrain. Survey categories include snow, grooming, terrain variety, lifts, service, weather, on mountain food, lodging, dining, après ski, off-hill activities, terrain parks and overall satisfaction.

It's impossible to categorize Vail Mountain because of its 3 unique mountain experiences: the legendary Back Bowls, Blue Sky Basin and the Front Side. If your looking for groomers, bumps, open powder-filled bowls, or a gladed natural adventure experience, Vail has it!

Vail is home to top restaurants, exclusive boutiques and galleries, spas, and top-rated nightlife. Vail Village hosts street concerts and other not-to-be-missed events throughout the year. From family fun to outdoor adventure to romantic escapes, it's all in Vail.

"Skiers get the feeling that the resort is working hard to keep a fresh face. In fact, after 40 years, rivals are still trying to catch up with the Back Bowls. With 3,611 acres stretching across six miles, they alone are bigger than most resorts. - Ski Magazine"

"Vail will bring you what is arguably the best vacation experience in the world. The mountain offers virtually everything from the Lionshead cruisers to the justifiably famous Back Bowls. The new Blue Sky Basin has catapulted Vail back to the top of the heap in virtually everyone's opinion. The Bavarian-like Village at the base is pedestrian friendly and charming. The shopping is upscale. Onthesnow.com"
