I've explored a number of the big name ski resorts in the Rocky Mountains and Vail is at the top of the list. Spectacular sights. A one of a kind experience for skiers and boarders of all levels.

Fastest way to backbowls & blue sky basin .... Start at gold peAk! 16 to 10 to 14. You'll sAve at least 20 min v vail village or lions head start. But DONT share my secret! Think snow!

Ride the gondola to the top of the ski mountain and walk down amid colorful wildflowers , or for a more heart-pumping adventure, hike up the mountain and catch the gondola back down.

Taylor Heald

Free grill your own meat at the top on lift 4 outside the hut. Put a streak in your pocket and enjoy an amazing lunch on top of the mountain !

The hiking and mountain biking trails are amongst the best in Colorado. Skiing the back bowls is a must in Winter.

Chris Szaraz

Try skiing in UT(Alta/Snowbird), MT(Big Sky), WY(Jackson), CA(Mammoth/Kirkwood/Tahoe) and Canada(Whistler/Revelstoke), they are all better than anything Vail or Colorado has to offer.

Sammy Rodriguez

Best trails ever

Matt Joswick

Vail's gondola is open for mountain biking & disc golf . Best thing is the bar at the top of the gondola is offering $2.50 tap beers during the World Cup . They have Stella & the best view !

Back Bowls, Back Bowls, Back Bowls are sooo sweet for the entire family. Steeps on the sides, groomed runs down the middle. Perfect!

Lance Cleveland

Hike the Berry Picker trail (the name is deceiving) and ride the gondola down for free.

Bowls, double diamonds and snow bunnies are more prevalent here than any other mountain in Colorado.

Lorraine S

Amazing resort ! Huge & pretty busy, but def a must try if you're visiting!

Paul M.

Prima to Pronto beckons on a powder day ! In summer, catch a free gondola ride to Eagle's Nest and hike up to the Windows deck for a place to relax with some beautiful views !

Kenneth Corrêa

Expensive parking , wonderful snow and trails !! Try the black trails on the Blue Sky Basin, with open spaces and high, high speed!

Dave Lepkowski

the views are very good and awesome

Jim Schulz

Vail is great but always crowded . Look for the back Bowls to ride faster chairs.

Ron Finke

Tell the Governor to open up. Food does not carry the virus. Follow the science!

Skiing Magazine

Both Riva Ridge and Blue Ox are freshly groomed for Thursday mornings. If you’re looking to cruise , head there first!

Dave Amirault

Try parking near the City Market and Safeway along the frontage road before you go and shell out $25 to the Town of Vail for garage parking . There aren't many spots so get there early.

@mrfboyer

Blue Sky basin will usually be empty - even on busy days.

Mike Mulvoy

Expansive terrain that seems never ending. Another piece of heaven

Charlie Volanakis

Eagles nest for lunch . Cheaper and fewer children. Children ruin everything.

Roxy SP

Beauty mountain

Chad Williams

It takes a solid hour but on a powder you want to get to Blue Sky Basin in the trees off Pete's Chair.

Sergio Paez

It will take you at least 2 days to cover all the trails . Awesome runs.
