Vail: The Grandest, best ski resort in North America
Located in the Rocky Mountains, Vail is the largest ski resort in the United States. 32 lifts serve 193 designated trails spread over 5,289 acres. The terrain also includes the legendary Back Bowls, which at over 3,000 acres would qualify as one of the largest resorts in North America by themselves. With 53% of the terrain designated for Advanced & Expert riders, 29% for Intermediates, and 18% for Beginners, the mountain offers something for everyone. The resort also leads the nation in annual skier/snowboarder visits, averaging over 1 million visits each year.
