· Considering it's size, terrain, weather and snow, you get 'the most bang for your buck' some say

· The Colorado Ticket allows skiing at Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone & Arapahoe Basin

Vail village is a pedestrianised resort offering over 200 shops, bars and restaurants to satisfy every appetite from sushi to gourmet dining. Bridge Street is the main hubbub of activity where day or night, there is always something happening. Lionshead is where the main gondola departs from and here you will find a cluster of shops, bars, cafes and restaurants.

Vail lays claim to be America's Number One ski resort. The launch of the Colorado Ticket now offers the biggest ski experience in the USA, rivalling in size the major French ski areas. On one lift pass, you can now ski not only Vail and Beaver Creek but Breckenridge, Keystone and Arapahoe Basin as well. Vail itself, boasts the legendary back bowls, home to some of Colorado's famous champagne powder, not to mention miles of superb runs on the front side of the mountain. Nearby Beaver Creek, is the ideal venue for those who enjoy intermediate cruising days out!
