VAIL SKI AREA
A vast and beautiful mountain that
is hard to cover in a day. Plenty here for all skiing levels, from the varied and fun frontside,
to the adventure awaiting in the huge China Bowl area at the backside. Aspen groves highlight
oceans of wide open snow. Hidden cornices, giant moguls, and deep powder reward the curious.
Other snow activities include tubing, iceskating, snowshoeing, snowmobiles, sledding and biking.
Fortunately, the festive small town area leading into the resort is blocked-off to traffic. The small
streets are lined with apres ski activity, good restaurants, bars and street patios bustling with
activity.
Surveying the back bowls...
Vail is located 120 miles west of Denver on Interstate 70 at
exits 173, 176 and 180.
