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 US Open Snowboarding

Snowboard School to events, activities and festivals, shops and spas, abundant culinary

operations, Vail is a mountain resort like nothing on earth.
