VAIL
COLORADO
As the days get shorter and the temperature drops, thoughts turn to the thrill of a day on the slopes. Winter
isn’t so bad when you’re barreling down runs under a bright blue Colorado sky. Vail is the ultimate mountain
resort destination. The park offers more than 5,200 acres of developed ski and snowboard terrain including seven
legendary Back Bowls. The awe-inspiring beauty of the surrounding Gore and Sawatch Ranges mixed with an
abundance of luxury accommodations and culinary options make Vail a perfect destination for the whole family.
You don’t have to ski or snowboard to enjoy Vail. World class events, activities, festivals, shops and spas are
found throughout the pedestrian friendly streets of Vail Village and Lionshead.
