Vail Ski Resort, Colorado

About Ski at Vail Ski Resort, Colorado

With world-renowned skiing, diverse shops and restaurants, luxurious accommodations and breath-taking mountain views, Vail is one of the finest resort destinations in the world.

Although the skiing is unsurpassed, much of Vail's charm comes from its uniquely designed alpine village and pedestrian system. Most lodges and condominiums are within walking distance of each other and the shops and restaurants are clustered around the center of the resort, accompanied by a Gold Medal fishing stream. 

In December 2000, Vail put the final touches on the second phase of its Blue Sky Basin terrain expansion, with the addition of its fourth new high-speed quad chairlift and the opening of an additional 125 acres of ski terrain in Pete's Bowl. This brings Vail's total count of high-speed lifts to 15, more than any other ski area in the United States. Vail's crowning Blue Sky Basin terrain expansion provides a unique wilder experience unlike anything else found on Vail Mountain and now features 645 acres of intermediate to advanced terrain in its two world-class bowls.

Beaver Creek, 20 mins. by car or free bus from Vail, is influenced by world renowned resorts such as St. Moritz, Switzerland, Cortina, Italy and Val d'Aran, Spain. This has resulted in a unique combination of mountain excitement and village luxury. Beaver Creek successfully combines the western hospitality found on the mountain and in the friendliness of its employees, with the European charm of its pedestrian village. When George Townsend first settled in the Beaver Creek Valley in 1881, he knew he'd found something special. In 1972, Vail continued the vision by purchasing the land and beginning a detailed planning process. Beaver Creek was originally designed to accommodate skiers of all ability levels, with a specific focus on winter recreation. That design proved timeless and today the mountain is enjoyed by a variety of winter and summer sports enthusiasts.
