Review:

The town of Vail was established in the 1960s along with the Vail Ski Resort, and it has not lost its identity as a skier’s paradise since. The town is located at the base of Vail Mountain, which is part of White River National Forest and stands as the tallest mountain in Colorado.

The mountain is covered in skiable slopes, with 33 lifts and 193 marked trails. The resort town is equipped for skiers and tourists, with pedestrian walkways connecting different sections that have accommodations, restaurants, spas, and shops. Vail also has many non-skiing adventure activities in the summer, such as ziplining, trampolining, tubing, and gondola rides.
