Vail

There's no comparison.

Vail is a giant among the world's ski resorts in size, annual skier visits and reputation for providing vacation experiences without comparison. Sprawling 5,289 acres with seven legendary Back Bowls that stretch six miles, Vail Mountain is the largest ski resort in the United States, welcoming approximately 1.6 million skiers and snowboarders annually.

Ranked the No. 1 ski resort in the U.S. by SKI Magazine 14 of the past 20 years, Vail consistently dominates annual skier polls as the industry gold standard.

New for 2007-2008.
Renowned for providing exceptional guest service, the resort has replaced Chairs 10 and 14 with two new high-speed quad chairlifts for the 2007-2008 season, expediting  the trip to Two Elk Restaurant, China Bowl and Blue Sky Basin.

Off the slopes, the town of Vail is completing a renaissance with a variety of new hotels, restaurants and shops. Throughout the town, guests can enjoy world-class dining, shopping, art galleries, après ski, nightlife, spa services and premium hotel rooms.
