Vail is now up to more than 2,600 skiable acres, which is the most open terrain in Colorado by far. Vail received 2 feet of new snow this week and Orient Express (#21) and Teacup Express (#36). The resort also opened Riva Bahn Express (#6) and Highline Express (#10), and the famous Two Elk restaurant is also open now providing additional dining options for guests.
With 2 feet of new snow in the last week it doesn't look like it's going to let up, either! The Colorado forecast is calling for consistent snowfall until Dec. 18.
