When it comes to terrain, Vail is a beast. Offering 5,289 acres of diverse runs, not to mention boasting over 300 days of sunshine a year, it’s hard for any skier not to be lured by this destination. The sheer range of options for all levels of skiers and snowboarders, makes it ideal for group travellers or those who want new scenery daily. Vail Mountain can be accessed by three different base points. Whatever you do, don’t miss out on the Back Bowls where the views are simply spectacular.
