From powder days to yard sales, decode the mountain lingo locals love, so you sound confident on the slopes, stay safe, and fully enjoy every moment of your ski trip.
Vail
With a well-earned reputation as a resort for the rich and famous, Vail is a place everyone else will love and can afford—with a little help from us. The resort area has everything you can imagine for skiers and snowboarders. The village offers opera, a symphony, a dance theater, and a slew of gourmet restaurants, featuring cuisines from all around the world. Think music concerts, ice-skating rinks, climbing walls.
Most Well-Known Ski Resort for a Reason
After 50 years of operation, this resort has perfected winter vacations. The largest mountain resort in North America, the area incorporates more than one ski resort with four additional resorts just down the road. Vail Mountain is so large it is separated at the base with three areas: Lionshead, Vail Village, and Golden Peak. Whether you’re an expert skier or just learning, you’ll find suitable quality instruction from these world-class ski instructors. Rent all of your equipment or get a demo a pair of the latest skis or snowboards from the many ski and snowboard shops in the area. Not only is this this largest ski area, but an Epic Pass will send you skiing across the country—Beaver Creek, Keystone, Breckenridge, Arapahoe Basin, Heavenly, Northstar, and Kirkwood are all participating resorts. You’ll find additional helpful tools for the area in Ski Experience and Terrain Parks.
Off the Slopes
Here your family will experience snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, ice skating, tubing, climbing, snowshoe tours, horseback riding, snowcat tours, dog sledding, dinner sleigh rides, etc. A free transportation shuttle service carries you from West Vail to the main village areas. Many people don’t realize what a mountain town is—with cobblestone walk ways, white lights on the trees, free transportation, nightlife, and spectacular restaurants all in one village, your vacation gets turned into something out of a movie.
Getting Here
Fly into the Eagle Airport, and you are right there. Or drive from Denver and be in awe of the unforgettable Rockies. Denver International Airport is just two hours east on I-70.
