Vail Gay Guide and Photo Gallery

By , About.com Guide

America's largest single-mountain ski resort, Vail, Colorado is also home to an increasingly popular annual gay ski week and is also one of the most accessible ski areas in the Rockies - situated right off I-70, about 100 miles west of Denver and with regular air service to many major hubs around the country. With nearly 200 runs traversing some 5,300 skiable acres, the mountain offers an incredible variety of terrain accessed via 32 lifts from two main villages that abound with upscale - in some cases ultra-posh - Austrian Alps-inspired hotels, restaurants, and shops. Full of energy, diversions, and opportunities for winter-play, as well as an increasingly robust variety of summertime activities, this gay-friendly resort is perfect if you're seeking an endless supply of things to see and do.
