In Vail's 42 years of existence, this skier's dream has become the #1 ranked ski resort in North America, as chosen by the readers of Ski Magazine.

With over 5,000 acres of terrain and 33 lifts, Vail is the largest single mountain ski resort in North America and is the host to world-class ski events and skiers from around the world.

Vail's legendary Black Bowls combine with the excitement of the Blue Sky Basin and the vastness of the Front Side to construct 5,289 acres of the best skiing on the continent.

Due to the immensity of Vail's ski resorts, you would be hard pressed to find more than four skiers per acre on a busy day. The ski slopes alone don't make Vail #1. Activities such as biking, horseback riding, shopping, and dining join skiing to make Vail a year-round ski resort destination for all ages.
