Visitor Reviews of Vail

Stephen from SOUTH AFRICA writes:

Having lived in Vail for three years I can honestly say that it is indeed the most versatile ski resort known to man. No matter what ability you are, there is something for everyone. For those of you with the more adventurous side, Vail has sick backcountry. A mandatory cliff jump is what it takes to get you into some of the best lines of Mushroom bowl (don't forget your gear as you might just have to use it - I did a couple of times). Some might say that there are limited expert+ runs. I say this is not true as only the locals know where the GOOD stashes are. Meet a local and get the best of what Vail has to offer.

The ever growing town of Vail is of Bavarian style. Good food is found everywhere but sometimes with a nice little price attached to it. The night life is second to none stretching from Lionshead all the way through town to Vail Village. Good times are had by all and a free intown bus service makes sure you get home safely after a rough night out until about 2am.

Vail rocks, and as everyone has mentioned already, it is undoubtedly the biggest resort around.
