Coveted as one of the largest ski resorts in the United States with more than 5,200 acres of skiable terrain,

7 legendary Back Bowls spanning 7 miles, and the most groomed terrain on the planet, Vail has been an

extraordinary winter vacation destination for passionate skiers and snowboarders for more than 50 years. It

is home to world-class athletes during the U.S. Ski Team early-season training sessions in Golden Peak, the

Burton U.S. Open Snowboarding Championships and the future 2015 World Alpine Ski Championships.

Under blue skies more than 300 days each year, friends and families reconnect and celebrate here from year

to year and generation to generation. The vacation experience is exceptional, from the Vail Ski & Snowboard

School to events, activities and festivals, shops and spas, abundant culinary experiences and luxurious

accommodations. Coupled with the vision inherent in the spirit of Vail’s founders, and a modern day

commitment to excellence in all aspects of guest service and operations, Vail is a mountain resort

like nothing on earth.

Welcome to Extraordinary.

At the gate you leave everything behind. People come from all over the world for that feeling, and many make

it a tradition. Here even the simple details are held high - it’s the art of thinking small. From our elite team

of Ski School Ambassadors trained to not only help with, but anticipate your every need, to the village

escalators built with ski boots in mind, Beaver Creek was designed with a legendary attention to detail.

This is a World Cup mountain, home to the 2015 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships and the venerable

Talons Challenge. If your skiing is more on the moderate side, hone your skills at Beaver Creek’s

“Ivy League of Ski Schools” and you’ll love Beaver Creek’s impeccably groomed beginner and

intermediate runs. At the end of the ski day, reward yourself with a fresh chocolate chip cookie

served slopeside everyday at three o’clock during the resort’s famed Cookie Time.

For the family who loves to play together, both on and off the slopes, this year more than ever with the historic

opening of the brand-new Peak 6 terrain, Breck will be the place where you can be yourself, with no pretensions.

No matter where you’re from, you’ll immediately feel like a local in Breck’s casual, hip and historic community.

Looking for activities off the slopes? Right at the base of the mountain is Breck’s historic Victorian town,

which offers the biggest variety in the Rocky Mountains for dining, shopping, events, cultural activities

and entertainment, for visitors of all ages.

The friendly and endearing character of Breckenridge is what makes us truly unique. Our welcoming

spirit transcends backgrounds, cultures and languages. Once you visit, you’re a local. When you

leave, you take a piece of Breck home with you.

Welcome to Breck Nation.

For the modern family that prefers substance with a unique, laid-back style, Northstar California Resort combines

California cool with high-end luxury, on-mountain exhilaration with a sophisticated alpine village atmosphere.

Halfway between one of North America’s coolest mountain towns and one of the world’s most beautiful

alpine lakes, Northstar is a destination on the rise, having poured nearly a billion dollars into creating

Lake Tahoe’s premier luxury snowsports experience. Upscale shops, refined dining and Lake Tahoe’s only

5-star slopeside lodging is married with impeccable grooming, incredible tree skiing and enough variety

to challenge every level of skier (and world-class terrain parks to keep the kids busy).

Those who come to Northstar know what they’re looking for. Sometimes it’s adventure, sometimes

it’s to learn, sometimes it’s to relax in a welcoming place with family and friends. No matter what that

experience is, they’ll find it to be exactly the way it should be.

and their terrain steep. Home to the Freeride World Tour, Kirkwood features some of North America’s fiercest

inbounds terrain. And you want snow? Prolific, majestic, magical snow? For Kirkwood, it’s that rare case of

quantity AND quality. Kirkwood averages over 600 inches of snowfall per year. So if your idea of extreme

includes ripping down the face of legendary steep terrain, get your backpack. Strap on a shovel. Grab a

beacon. There’s a legend out there waiting to be made.
