Pete Seibert's dream when he returned from duty as a 10th Mountain Division ski trooper in World War II was to develop a ski resort near where so many snow soldiers trained. He discovered and created what has become Vail in the early sixties and the rest is history. By the way, the name comes from a highway engineer named Charlie Vail, if you're mildly curious.
Vail is the center jewel in the crown of the Rockies.
Consistently ranked the top resort in North America by the ski media, Vail is, more importantly, the top pick of skiers themselves.
With 5,289 skiable acres spread across a prime 7-miles stretch of the Rockies, Vail is the largest resort in North America. Those who have skied Vail will tell you that it's not just quantity that makes Vail the best, it's quality. Like any valuable jewel, it's multi-faceted.
