The Vail ski resort can be found in Colorado's Eagle County, about 100 miles west of Denver along I-70. Vail ski resort is America's largest single mountain resort. Vail ski lodging can be found at many locations in Vail village itself, in Lionshead village, and at other points around the resort area. Both hotel type and condo type of accommodations can be found in this resort.
Vail Ski Resort opened in 1962, and is the largest single mountain ski resort in the US. It has seven bowls, plus the more recent (opened 2000) Blue Sky Basin back-country area. The Blue Sky Basin has added 525 acres to the already large Vail Ski Resort.
Blue Sky is notable for having a much more natural feel than most ski areas. Skiers are able to ski across meadows and glades, rather than being confined to predefined routes. Trees in the basin were thinned out, rather than cleared completely as happens in more conventional ski developments, to allow access to the grooming equipment.
Unlike other Colorado ski resorts such as Aspen and Breckenridge the town of Vail did not exist before the development of the ski resort. The town has a population of about 4,500 and is reached by the I-70. Vail is about 100 miles from Denver along that route.
One possible accommodation in Vail is the Tivoli Lodge (62 rooms), in Hanson Ranch Road. All rooms either have views of the mountain, or the village. Rooms have ensuite bathrooms, additionally the Mountain View Rooms have a shower with body spray jets.
The Tivoli lodge has its own restaurant, and is also within easy walking distance of many restaurants and shops in Vail Village. The food choices in Vail are truly cosmopolitan, including all the European cuisines which one might associate with ski vacations in the Alps (French, Italian, German, Swiss), plus fast food eateries, Mexican, Asian and American restaurants.
Right next to Vail Mountain itself one can find Lionshead village. One accommodation option here is the Lodge at Lionshead, just east of Lionshead Plaza, and within yards of the Snow School and the chairlift and gondola stations. Accommodation at the Lodge at Lionshead is in studio lofts, 1-4 bedroom condos, and penthouses.
All the accommodation at the Lodge at Lionshead has either a fully equipped kitchen or a kitchenette. Also CD/DVD player, cable TV and either balcony or patio. Condos and penthouses have fireplaces.
