Local to the Denver area and this remains my favorite resort to ski. Plenty of options on runs and restaurant options are great.
Lots of skiing terrain and the snow conditions were good this year.
Some lift lines can be long but that depends on the day.
Terry Brough
Plentiful high speed gondola & lift access to a wide variety of groomed runs plus fantastic back bowls.
Ease of access and no lines during Spring skiing with great conditions
David Derry
No bad day ever. Born and raised in Denver "57" vintage. Vail has always provided the best skiing experience BAR NONE!
Colorado mountain paradise.
I don't live there.

Lacking in steep terrain

Vail ski resort in Colorado is a premier destination for winter sports enthusiasts. With its vast terrain, reliable snowfall, and top-notch amenities, it offers an exceptional skiing and snowboarding experience. The resort's extensive network of lifts provides access to diverse runs suitable for all skill levels, from beginners to experts. Off the slopes, Vail Village offers a charming alpine ambiance with upscale shops, restaurants, and accommodations. While it can get crowded during peak seasons, the overall quality of the skiing and the resort's ambiance make it a top choice for many.
Easily accessible from Denver
Expensive parking

Magical experience after fresh pow
Back Bowls are Zen. Great place to get some breathing room from any stressors (e.g. corporate, fam, in-laws)
Beautiful mountain. More pow, pls.
David Schopfer
Expensive but incredible amount of terrain and the village is excellent for off mountain activities.
Marvin Theut
This ski area is not so great for younger skiers with a lack of challenging jumps and rails in the park. Not many steep challenging runs. It caters more to old geezers that like to ski slow on groomers. Horrible parking with long walks alone a busy road to get to the lifts as the parking structure is overpriced and often full. It frequently has horrendous lift lines especially on powder days. Don't bother eating on the mountain the food is low quality and overpriced.
Large ski area with many lifts. Many expensive restaurants.
Wimpy park, lack of expert terrain, overpriced lift tickets, ski patrol wants everyone to ski slow like old geezers.
Endless acres to ski, just comes at a price
Acres acres acres
Spendy

Great restaurants and nightlife to go along with a huge mountain that would take weeks to explore.
Huge terrain and great conditions.
A few flat spots on top requiring polling.
