SKI Magazine readers recently recognized Vail Mountain as the No. 1 ski resort in North America for the 14th time since the survey began in 1988. And, while Vail is known for its deep powder, it is also known for exclusive hotels and spas, upscale shopping and decadent restaurants. Attracting visitors from around the world, it is the ultimate place for a luxury escape.
Vail, Colorado is a heaven on Earth environment with gorgeous terrain of mountains and streams and the perfect place to turn off the cell phone and laptop or not bring them at all. While autumn may not bring the famous soft powder snow, a true blessing from the ski and snowboard gods, it does have the chill of winter creeping in with fresh air and a soft breeze that may give your nose a little hint of red. This time of year also allows you to check out the town like the locals and really enjoy its charm before the snow dumps and the crowds pour in.
