Ski Vail for one of the world's leading ski resorts. Consistently rated the #1 ski resort in North America there's a large ski area, skiing and snowboarding for all levels along with exclusivity, fantastic snow and powder and well-groomed slopes for all the family.

Where?

Ski Vail and you're in one of the world's leading ski resorts in the state of Colorado high up in the Rockies. Just over an hour from Eagle County airport and just over 2.5 hours from Denver brings you to this exclusive ski resort. With an almost Tyrolean building style, the resort is based at 2400m. Set amongst the 'Summit Ticket' resorts, the largest ski area in the US is favoured by rich Europeans who flock here every year.

On the slopes

Ski Vail and you get almost 200 trails crossing the mountain and over 300km of piste to explore and play on. Beginners and intermediates are very well catered for close to home. The ski schools also excel with all levels well catered for. Away from the main, wide, pistes, you can find almost limitless powder and pretty safe off-piste conditions for boarders and for skiers. Lifts are very accessible and close to the resort. It's only the seriously hardcore expert boarders and skiers who won't find what they want here in terms of technical pistes and slopes - but then that's when the 'Summit ticket' comes into it's own.
