Most of the lodges and condos in these villages are located within a 5 minute walk of the ski slopes. Once you are on the ski slopes, you will have access to ski terrain that spans a distance of more than 7 miles. This vast terrain makes Vail the largest ski resort in the United States.
Skiers and riders can fly right into the Eagle County Airport; just a 40 minute drive away from the Vail Ski Resort. If you fly into the Eagle County Airport during the daytime, you can ski for free at Vail on the same day. Just take your Vail/Beaver Creek lodging confirmation and your boarding pass to a lift ticket window and you can ski for free for the rest of the day.
