Vail owned ski resort great for riders of all levels. The park is designed by Burton. There is great little touches here like free champagne toast at mid-mountain and benches for you to stop and strap your boots on. Parking can get hairy on busy weekends so get there early, or take the bus up there. The village has great shopping and an ice rink which gives it that Euro ski town feel.
