colorado VAIL

Considered by many to be the premier North American ski resort, Vail’s name is synonymous with skiing, snowboarding, luxury and the legendary Back Bowls. With 5,317 skiable acres and ample terrain and terrain parks to accommodate skiers of all ages and abilities, it’s no wonder why so many snowsport enthusiasts remember the first time they saw Vail and have fond memories of family and friends in what’s arguably been “the bar” in terms of ski/snowboarding experiences for more than 50 years. It’s the type of place where family traditions are formed such as the popular “skied the run Christmas on Christmas” or enjoying spring skiing and sun tanning on any of the “on mountain” decks, patios and restaurants.

Founded in the mid-1960’s, Vail has expanded from the original Gold Peak and Bridge Street neighborhoods as far as East Vail and West Vail. It’s neighborhoods include quaint ski chalets, easily “lock and leaveable” condominium units and large exquisite homes of varying architectural types; many ski-in, ski-out.
