Vail
As the largest ski resort in Colorado, Vail Ski Resort is a winter wonderland for skiers and snowboarders alike. Travelers from all around the world visit Vail for its world-class slopes, back bowls, and legendary terrain.
Mountain
Vail is divided into three sections - Front-Side, Back Bowls, and Blue Sky Basin. Front-Side offers all types of terrain and provides beginners with easy-to-access greens and gentle blues. The Back Bowls section is over 3,000 acres of vast powder fields. This ungroomed terrain is primarily for strong skiers who enjoy a challenge. Vail is most known for its legendary Back Bowls which consist of seven powder-filled alpine basins forming Sun Down Bowl, Sun Up Bowl, Tea Cup Bowl, China Bowl, Siberia Bowl, Inner Mongolia Bowl, and Outer Mongolia Bowl. Blue Sky Basin's expansive meadows, panoramic bowls, natural gladed terrain, and wide-open wilderness provides skiers and riders with a backcountry-type experience.
