History of Vail
Vail was originally discovered by the Army's Tenth Mountain Division using the area for backcountry survival training. One of these members, Pete Seibert, along with a few others returned to Vail after the war and drew up plans to build a ski resort. By 1966, the Town of Vail was incorporated. Vail had the first gondola in the U.S, along with two double chairlifts which allowed for skiing 6 square miles of terrain.
By the 1970s Vail had earned the reputation of one of Colorado's best ski resorts. Gerald and Betty Ford owned a house in Vail and after Ford was elected President, Vail became recognized world wide as a ski resort. In the 1980s Vail evolved into a year-round resort. Golf courses were built and mountain biking trails were added, gondolas began to transport guests wanting to sightsee.
In the 1990s as part of a partnership between Vail Resorts, the Town of Vail, and the U.S. Forest Service, Blue Sky Basin was opened on Vail Mountain - adding 645 of skiable terrain. Now Vail has two gondolas, one in each village and 31 chair lifts.
