The Mountain at Vail is not really one mountain.  The Vail Ski Resort is comprised of three areas; the front side, the back bowls and Blue Sky Basin.  Each area has it’s own characteristics and offers visitors a unique experience.  Combined, the three areas offer skiers and snowboarders 319 miles of trails and more than 5,300 acres of terrain!
