Vail Ski Resort Guide

 

Vail is one of the largest ski resorts in North America. There is terrain for all types of skiers including beginners, however this is typically a resort for more advanced skiers. The front side of the mountain has plenty of green slopes for new skiers as well as some great expert terrain.

The backside of the mountain has several bowls that can be a great place to ski on a Vail powder day. If you head even farther beyond the backside of Vail you will come to Blue Sky Basin. This area has some great expert terrain and is quite a distance from the base area of the front-side.
