It wasnt quite worth the hype in my opinion; admittedly a gigantic mountain which Im sure would be amazing with the proper conditions, but when I was there it just wasnt as fun as the many other colorado resorts. Still cant have a bad time though.

I love Vail because it's fairly close to where I live. It's got great runs. It's military friendly which I like because I'm retired military.

twas like driving into Christmas. A beautiful ski town with every amenity you could think of. The Red Lion pub was one definately a highlight. The skiing... What can I say.. World class groomed runs with plenty of choice and a great lift system but boy is it expensive compared to Europe.. In every sense! Would go back if I could afford it but have to admit I found Breckenridge more 'real' with better skiing and better eating out/beer options. It was also - 25 deg C when I was there so neoprene mask it was which is always unpleasant.

Love them! I think theyre super useful for advance people who can run more difficult runs. They are definitely worth trying if youre considering.

Vail is an incredible resort with more terrain than you can imagine. I was able to go this season and the Back Bowls are indescribable. I stood outside the Two Elks lodge after eating and just admired the view of the bowls and Blue Sky Basin off in the distance. Once you come into the Vail Village there are plenty of signs for parking, accommodations , etc. Parking in the garage is the best for easy access and its partially covered in case of weather. From the garage its a short walk into the village which my remind someone of an amusement park. The shoppes and Vail staff are very helpful and welcoming, providing directions and information for newcomers. Again the resort is massive, so to really enjoy, if possible plan to stay a few days. Which is what I'm planning for next year! Most of my skiing was done at Breckenridge this year, but my single day at Vail was absolutely amazing and I can't wait to go back next year for a few days. I've already renewed my Epic Pass!

Vail has is so large and has so much variety that you can always find good runs regardless of the conditions. The conditions are usually fantastic since they get dry powder storms that drop 3 to 7 inches often.

This was the largest resort Ive skied and it was massive. There is so much terrain for every level. The most impressive thing are the legendary Back Bowls. It is truly jaw dropping to see Tom a blue bird day. I stood on the rim for a few minutes and admired the view. The accommodation and restaurants was great and the covered parking of the parking garage provided excellent access to your vehicle after a long day on the mountain

The early bird takes the worm excellent skiing and snow in March, and much quieter slopes than expected, especially if you are up for first lifts in the morning. I could ski the back bowls, and blue sky basin all day, every day and never get bored.
