Bustling is a good term to describe the constant energy level that encompasses Vail. This resort is popular and it knows it. How could it not be given the many elements of a world class vacation experience that it covers so well? For this reason the vibe is also extremely diverse as Vail’s reputation attracts international tourists from the far reaches of the globe. It is not uncommon to hear a dozen languages and dialects on the chairlifts, on the slopes, and in the village during the course of any given day day in Vail. Larger than life  is a term that aptly describes both the mountain and the scene in Vail from apres to nightlife. Exclusive is another word easily attributed to this bustling, diverse, and larger than life resort. The “It” crowd and nouveau riche flock to this destination with their families in droves lending it a sense of shameless swagger and trendy entitlement that can be both entertaining to witness and contagious in spirit.

After all, Vail is one of the best ski destinations in the world.
