Vail, Colorado is a premier mountain resort community that offers an incredible range of activities and experiences for visitors all year round. With a rich history that dates back to its founding in 1966, Vail has grown to become one of the largest ski resorts in the United States.

The town of Vail was named after Charlie Vail, the engineer who played a key role in the construction of Highway 6, later known as Vail Pass. The area also served as a training ground for the Army's Tenth Mountain Division during World War II, attracting veterans like Pete Seibert who envisioned a mountain ski community.

Vail boasts the distinction of having the first gondola in the United States, along with a variety of lifts and a vast terrain to explore. In addition to skiing and snowboarding, Vail has evolved into a year-round destination offering golf, mountain biking, tennis, and various cultural events.

Vail's commitment to sustainability is evident through its "Love Vail" campaign, aiming to reduce its carbon footprint by 2020. Other recent developments include hosting the 2015 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships and becoming the new home of the Burton US Open Snowboard Championships.
