Description
Vial has the largest single skable mountain in the whole of the Colorado Rockies. Combine this with fantastic intermediate terrain and extremely good beginner and expert slopes and you've got a resort that's hard to beat. The town centre has a good selection of shops and boutiques which is largely traffic free.
