Tons of terrain to be found at Vail
     Did you know that Vail has more skiable terrain than any resort in the United States? That's a lot of snow, no matter how you look at it. Best of all, those 5,289 skiable acres are just two-and-a-half hours (154 miles) from Fort Collins. Lots of terrain also means plenty of room for all types of snow sports. Vail's Adventure Ridge provides room for tubing, snowmobiling, snowbiking, sledding, snowshoeing and laser tag..
     After hours, Vail boasts one of the best apres-ski and late-night towns in the country. It's 100-plus bars and restaurants include the ever-popular
microbreweries, plenty of five-star dining, nightclubs and live music of every stripe.
    Vital statistics: The vertical rise is 3,450 feet with the aforementioned 5,289 skiable acres, 33 lifts and 193 trails. They claim an average showfall of 346 inches. Special facilities include a super pipe, terrain parks and snowboard zones, Rossignol test center, Burton snowboard center, NASTAR course and a kids area. Season is November 21 to April 22.
