Quail Mountain is actually two great mountains in one. As planned, the two peaks would provide:

• Over 3,000 vertical feet of drop (less than 5% of all the ski areas in America have 3,000 or more feet of vertical drop)
• The potential for 35 miles (over 625 acres) of cut trails and over 190 acres of bowls and glades on an allocated winter sports site of about 3,000 acres.
• The highest lift-serviced summit on the North American continent (a summit elevation of 12,450 feet)
• The longest beginner trail in Colorado (over 4 miles long with 2300 feet of vertical drop)
• Natural segregation of ability levels that provide beginner through intermediate skiing on the front mountain, close to the security of village services and accommodations, and advanced to expert skiing at the higher elevations on the back mountain, where over half of the skiable terrain will be in alpine parks, open bowls, chutes and glades.
• Skiing with spectacular views of Twin Lakes and the Sawatch Range where the Sawatch Range exhibits the highest concentration of 14,000 foot peaks in the American Rockies.

Unique Village Area

Village Area Topography:

• Unlike many ski areas where the steep walls of the mountain end abruptly in a flat valley, Quail Mountain had a broad transition area at it's base or village area, which is steep enough to ski, yet gentle enough to build on. This transition area on private property creates an interaction zone that can provide an unusually high percentage of land capable of allowing ski-in/ski-out development
• Because of the scarcity of ski-in/ski-out sites at most ski areas, these sites are in high demand and command a relatively higher real estate price than do many other developable sites in a ski village area.
• The integration of the golf coarse/residential development with the village area in close proximity to the village ski facilities creates a unique recreational village development that is next to impossible to create at many ski areas.
