Vail is located in Eagle County, Colorado. According to 2005 Census Bureau estimates, the population of Vail is 4,589. Vail was established in 1966 at the base of  Vail Ski Resort, which opened in December 1962. Vail is famous for having the largest single ski mountain in North America and other winter sports in addition to being a year round destination for outdoor activities. 

Vail Ski Resort

The Vail Ski Resort is located next to the town of Vail. Vail Mountain, at 5,289 acres, is the largest single mountain ski resort in The United States, featuring seven bowls and intermediate gladed terrain in Blue Sky Basin.

Construction of the Vail Resort began in 1962 in a valley devoid of civilization. Vail Ski Resort opened just 6 months later on December 15th. There were 3 lifts upon opening, one gondola that ran from the frontside base to the peak, a lift from mid-mountain to the peak, and a lift that brought skiers back up from the back bowls. In just 7 years, Vail had grown to become the most popular ski resort in Colorado, and vail village had started forming at the base, near the gondola, which had been replaced since its opening.
