If we were asked to describe Vail in a single word "legendary" would come to mind first, and "extravagant" would come second. It stands as a pinnacle of alpine grandeur and the iconic resort beckons skiers from around the globe to experience the ultimate luxurious snow-covered haven. Vail is a resort where you are more likely to run into an A-List celebrity than wildlife and where your bank account shreds faster then you do on the slopes.
However, once you get over the eye-popping price of a lift ticket you'll have access to one of America's most epic ski playgrounds. It's got roughly 4,450' of vertical over a massive 5,317 acres of terrain meaning you'll never run into your ex, and you'll still discover new off-piste trails after skiing there for a week. Its got every type of terrain you could wish for, and excels in each category. In the village, you may come across more people dressed for the runway than the ski hill as they head to one of the many world class restaurants.
All in all, is the resort incredibly expensive? Yes. Does it have an epic mountain to back up these prices? Absolutely. Is it worth it? We'll leave that up to you to decide. After all, who needs a savings account when you can have a ski pass?
