Vail Ski Resort is located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, United States. Opened in 1962, it is one of the largest single-mountain ski resorts in North America by skiable area. The entire mountain is divided into three major areas: the Front Side, the Back Bowls, and Blue Sky Basin, with a total skiable area of approx. 5,000 acres and nearly 200 ski runs. The Back Bowls are the most recognizable part of Vail Ski Resort, featuring wide, treeless slopes and soft snow, offering an incredibly expansive view while skiing. Blue Sky Basin is known for its gladed runs, where trails wind through pine forests, creating an atmosphere closer to backcountry skiing, making it suitable for intermediate to advanced skiers seeking a natural experience. The Front Side primarily features classic groomed runs with a compact layout, making it easy for skiers of different levels to meet up nearby. The resort is equipped with multiple high-speed chairlifts and two large gondolas, providing high uphill efficiency. It also features a terrain park and a large halfpipe, suitable for skiers who enjoy jumps and features.Eagle County · 4.1km from Vail

Only 16% of the mountain was open, but it didn’t stop us from two extremely full days of enjoying new terrain. It was great not dealing with lines, crowds and the other inevitable parts of the busier parts of ski season. Will have to come back to hit the famous back bowls, but enjoyable nonetheless.
