Vail Ski Resort Details

About Vail, CO Ski Resort

The Vail ski resort is by far one of Colorado's top ski destinations for those seeking luxury with their mountain activities. It also happens to be one of the largest ski resorts in the world, boasting expansive terrain of over 5,200 acres (which also happens to be one of the most well groomed).

It's not uncommon to find a mix of avid skiers, celebrities and U.S. Ski Team athletes roaming about the Vail resort -- taking advantage of the fine dining, lodging, spas, activities, shops and 300+ days of bluebird skies. A star-studded list of restaurants and multiple skiing championship events make for a rare combination that attracts skiers from around the globe.

Golden Peak, Lionshead and Vail Village are the three base areas granting access to Vail Mountain (the Cascade Village Lift will get you there to). The Front Side of Vail Mountain delivers sweeping, wide runs, three terrain parks, the EpicMix race course and the Game Creek Bowl. The Back Bowls deliver quite a different experience, with epic views and expansive skiing.

Our recommendation is that you make sure to get more than a typical ski weekend at Vail...there's just too much goodness to go around.

Interesting Note: Vail Resorts, Inc. (the company, not the ski resort itself) has been acquiring multiple ski resorts in the U.S., Canada and Australia...now owning over 14 popular ski resorts and even one summer resort in Wyoming. Whoa!
