About the Resort Update This Info


You won't find "adventure terrain" on any trail map. Except Vails.

Front Side: You want variety? Bingo. The front side of Vail Mountain offers a conventional trail design featuring terrain for every ability that alone rivals any ski area. Skiers and snowboarders can spend a whole day just exploring the front side and find gentle, easy groomed terrain, steeps and Volkswagen sized bumps on runs such as Highline.

Back Bowls: Vail isn't just blessed with one, but seven Back Bowls. Vail's legendary Back Bowls offer 2,724 acres of wide open expansive terrain that is a "must ski" on a powder day. Explore the tight trees of OS in Sun Down Bowl or find solitude in Inner and Outer Mongolia to the east of China Bowl.

Vail offers guests an incomparable winter vacation experience. As the largest single-mountain ski area in North America, Vail offers guests 5,289 acres of skiable terrain found within three distinct mountain experiences - the front side, legendary Back Bowls™ and the new Blue Sky Basin.

Snowboarding


Unrestricted parks with Superpipe and massive terrain park. Pro and local riders alike continuously praise the Vail Superpipe. A variety of medium to larger jibs, rails and hits are scattered throughout the park each designed to flow into the next section. The Jib Park is like a "park within the park", enclosed in a glade of trees, riders can spend a day sliding and hiking all different kinds of rails and jibs. Bottom line: These guys build terrain parks you'd usually see in a video game.

Recent Improvements


More Grooming: Vail will increase the size of its grooming fleet resulting in a substantial increase in the amount of acreage groomed every night.
New LionsHead Skier Bridge: The beautifully designed bridge will be approximately 50 feet wide allowing for more space for skiers, grooming capabilities, and a pedestrian lane for year-round use.
New Two Elk Yurt: A yurt will be available near Two Elk Restaurant providing seating for children's Ski School, as well as picnic lunches.
Phase II Golden Peak Snowmaking: A new snowmaking line will be installed at Golden Peak, enabling Vail to make more snow faster on the eastern side of the mountain.

Dining


The skiing in Vail is legendary. But the excitement and fun in Vail run deeper than the powder. Whether looking for a night on the town, a romantic dinner for two or a place to entertain the younger generation, Vail caters to anyone's palate and budget with 73 restaurants and 16 bars.

Nightlife


After the Lifts Close, Vail comes to life after the mountain closes. Check out the après-ski scene in Vail Village featuring live music, good food and a great atmosphere. Grab a beer, hit the deck and watch everyone come down the hill at the end of the day. Or, do a little barhopping to all the late night hot spots.

Lodging


The Vail Valley provides more than 150 lodging options that can accommodate up to 40,000 visitors. Spacious hotels, quaint bed and breakfast inns and comfortable homes and condominiums provide something for everyone's taste and budget. And the quality of lodging continues to improve as properties are upgrading and enhancing what they currently offer to provide guests with more value for their vacation dollars.
