Vail
|
When it comes to Rocky Mountain skiing, there is no comparison. The endless terrain and incredible scenery that spans almost 5,289 acres is the backdrop for one of the most enjoyable ski vacations you could imagine. At 5 miles across, Vail's back bowls are legendary.
The newest expansion of Blue Sky Basin offers even more for skiers and riders to explore. Whether it's endless deep powder, wide open runs, or just a place to play and enjoy this world-renowned Rocky Mountain playground in the sun, you'll find it all right here.
As the sun sets, Vail's delightful Tyrolean-styled pedestrian village comes alive and will entice you with an amazing selection of wonderful restaurants, boutiques, and bistros. |
