Internationally
known for its incomparable world-class skiing and riding, the Vail Valley
additionally offers an exciting nightlife, unique shops, gourmet dining and
nonstop outdoor adventure, summer or winter.
Vail Mountain,
100 miles west of Denver, is larger than nearly every other North American ski
area, and is linked by a well-placed network of lifts and trails. There are
1,220 acres of varied runs on the front side, and the existence of the Back
Bowls make Vail a skier’s heaven. Those same slopes provide the perfect trails
for mountain bike devotees in summer. The village hosts a wide variety of
festivals year round.
Consistently
ranked the country's most popular ski resort by skiers and ski magazines almost
since its inception, Vail has the look of a Tyrolean village and is visited
regularly by almost as many Europeans as Americans. This gives its
restaurants, hotels, and shops a continental air.
Two people with
a vision planned what has become Vail. They were Pete Seibert, 10th Mountain
Division veteran and Earl Eaton, a uranium prospector who had grown up in area’s
wild ranges. In 1957 they climbed to the summit of the mountain now known as
Vail and discovered a skier’s dream: the Back Bowls; 4,000 acres of open
glades. (The Bowls had been formed unintentionally, centuries earlier, when the
Ute Indians set "spite fires" to the timberland in retaliation for being driven
out by ranchers and miners). Through the efforts of Seibert and Eaton, the
fabulous Vail resort was created.
Vail is an
excellent example of integrated mountain and village design. The development is
divided into the residential East Vail, upscale Vail Village, and the more
modest Lionshead.
