If you’re a believer in the mantra “no friends on a powder day”, you could be friendless in Vail pretty much your whole stay. With a staggering average snowfall of 8.5 metres each winter, Vail gets more than its fair share of fresh, fluffy snow over its 5,289 acres. With its endless, adventurous terrain and seven vast treeless Back Bowls to explore, you’re onto a safe bet for some truly epic days.
