Vail Ski Resort
Vail ski resort itself started with a choice made by a 10th Mountain Division ski trooper who served in World War II named Pete Seibert. Upon his return, hoping to recover his skill on the slopes, Pete began looking for a mountain to develop into a resort. After excelling in international ski competitions, he attended resort management schools in the highly successful skiing vacation destinations of France and Switzerland. In the late 1950's, he chose the Vail Valley as the future home of his vision, and a winter phenomenon was born.
