Vail Mountain is accessed by three base areas: Lionshead, Vail Village, and Golden Peak.

The Front Side of Vail is home to the most groomed terrain on the planet. Wide, long runs such as Riva Ridge, Born Free, Simba, Lodgepole, and Bear Tree are popular and exhilerating. The Front Side is also home to Kid's Adventure Zones, three Terrain Parks including Golden Peak Terrain Park, home of a 22 foot half pipe and site of the Burton US Open Snowboarding Championships, Game Creek Bowl, The EpicMix race course, and mountain dining restaurants at Eagles Nest, Mid-Vail, the 10th, and Larkspur at the base of Golden Peak.

HISTORY OF VAIL

Vail was founded by Pete Seibert and Earl Eaton in 1962, at the base of Vail Pass, which was named after Charles Vail, designer of the highway that passed through the valley.

During World War II, Seibert joined the U.S. Army's 10th Mountain Division which trained at Camp Hale, 14 miles south of Vail between Red Cliff and Leadville. During the training Seibert and Eaton became familiar with the surrounding terrain, areas of which would become resorts in later decades. They discovered a peak that believed to be well-located and with good snow, calling it No-name Mountain, which later became Vail.

Construction of the resort began in 1962 in the uninhabited valley. It opened six months later on December 15th. There were three lifts: one gondola that ran from the base of the front side to mid-mountain, called Mid-Vail; a lift from Mid-Vail to the mountain peak; and a lift allowing access to the back bowls. Vail quickly grew to become a popular ski resort, a village formed at the base, near the gondola ski lift, which was taken down in the 1970s.

By 1970 the mountain had greatly expanded, with a second gondola added in the Lionshead area, which also included residences and shops at the base of the slopes.

In 1989, Vail hosted the Alpine Skiing World Championships with great success.

The championships were held in Vail/ Beaver Creek again a decade later in 1999, to even bigger fanfare. Vail/Beaver Creek will host the Alpine Skiing World Championships again in 2015. In the early 2000s, hundreds of millions of dollars were invested in the resort. In 2000, Vail opened Blue Sky Basin, an intermediate-expert back -country area with moguls, tree skiing, cliffs, and ridges. Vail has been the number one ski resort in the United States over 14 times and is always recognized as one of the top skiing destinations in the world.

In summer 2007, after seven years without a new chairlift, Vail undertook one of the biggest lift improvements at a Colorado ski area when it installed two high-speed quad chairlifts. A new plaza was opened at the bottom of the Vista Bahn Express ski lift in Vail Village in 2008. On February 27, 2010, one of the original black diamond trails, International, was renamed Lindsey's to honor Vail's Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn. The trail is next to "Giant Steps" and one of two flanking the original lift number one from the base of the mountain. On December 10, 2010, a new high-speed quad chairlift in the Sun Down Bowl, the High Noon Express opened.

On Opening day in 2011, Vail opened a new ski-in/out fine dining restaurant at Mid-Vail. The new restaurant, named "The Tenth" is named for the famed US Army division that trained nearby and several Vail founders once belonged.

GERALD R. FORD AMPHITHEATER The Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater in Vail is a spectacular outdoor venue located just East of Golden Peak in Vail Village. With covered seating for 1,260 guests and the ability to accommodate another 1,300 guests on its expansive grassy hillside the Gerald R.

Kenton Hopkins MRE, CRS, GRI Kenton Hopkins was enjoying a thriving real estate career in Minneapolis when a buddy invited him to ski Vail.

That was in 1973. He’s still here. To say that Kenton fell in love with the Vail Valley is an understatement. “For me, there’s not a day that goes by without my senses being awakened by the natural beauty of this area,” he enthuses. Not that he spends all his time amid the wonders of nature. Kenton continued his real estate career joining Vail Associates Real Estate in 1986. He remained with the company’s Beaver Creek office when Vail Associates Real Estate merged with Slifer Smith & Frampton in 1994. In 2015 Kenton along with David and Benjamin joined the Sotheby International Realty the leading luxury real estate brand in the world.

For over twenty-five years Kenton has worked with hundreds of buyers and sellers completing transactions in nearly every development in Beaver Creek and Bachelor Gulch, two of the markets in which he specializes.

Kenton’s dedication and enthusiasm is reflected in some impressive statistics. He is constantly among the Vail Valley’s top producing brokers, having successfully transacted over $750,000,000 in sales since 1986.

Kenton cites several reasons for his success. First of all he has an intimate understanding of the resort in which he lives and offices. Also, Kenton has aggressively continued his real estate education earning a Masters in Real Estate (MRE), real estates most advanced degree.

The high level of integrity and business ethics that he employs has allowed Kenton to cultivate significant long-term client relationships. He first listens well to a customer’s needs then understands their motivations, ultimately uncovering then demonstrating clearly how the property satisfies his clients needs.

One of the most important phases of real estate is the closing and delivery of the property. Kenton has developed systems that allow these steps to go smoothly for both buyers and sellers. Ultimately, however, when choosing Kenton to represent you as a real estate agent, there are two key factors to remember: Kenton speaks and acts with integrity, he is impeccable with his word. He understands the needs of those he serve and works diligently on their behalf.

Having sold property in every development within Beaver Creek, Kenton has the experience and knowledge to get your home sold in a timely and professional manner.

Stop by our Sotheby’s International Realty office in the Beaver Creek Lodge to meet Kenton, Dave, and Ben, your full service luxury real estate team in Vail and Beaver Creek, Colorado.

Awarded the #1 Real Estate Brokers for 2016 in the Vail Valley with Sotheby’s International Realty.

David McHugh e-PRO Originally from the Morristown area of New Jersey, David McHugh has been living in the Vail Valley since 1992. He crossed the country to attend the University of Colorado in Boulder, taking classes in architecture and participating on the CU Ski Team. The entrepreneurial spirit caught him early, driving him to start a contractor business specializing in building and remodeling homes. All the while Dave has made sure to include skiing, snowboarding, telemarking, biking, and tennis in his life.

Dave’s passion for everything surrounding the real estate industry combined with a love of the outdoors soon brought him to Telluride, Colorado. There he was a manager at a five star spa. Not long after Dave moved to his current hometown of Eagle-Vail, where he often enjoys a not so easily accessible out-of-bounds trek home via the extreme skiing Stone Creek Trail in Beaver Creek.

Starting his Valley working career in a ski shop, Dave has worked in many different service industries. He has a strong background in architecture and building practices, and an extensive history of customer service.

In 2001, Dave began working directly with Kenton Hopkins. Together, they have garnered positive relationships with everyone who walks through the door, keeping customer service at the fore of every interaction and leading Real Estate in Beaver Creek Resort.

Dave loves what he does, and enjoys helping the people he meets. In his own words, “Real Estate is a relationship. It’s more than just one transaction; it’s a friendship.”

Benjamin Finn Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, Ben came to Vail like most to “temporarily” enjoy the wonderful lifestyle that the Vail Valley provides. After spending the 2009-2010 winter as a ski instructor, Ben was able to find a niche within Slifer, Smith and Frampton assisting real estate brokers with their sales and marketing strategies. After demonstrating dedication and enthusiasm for Real estate in the Vail Valley he joined the team of Hopkins and McHugh in 2012.

When out of the office, you can find Ben exploring the backcountry of Vail and Beaver Creek, in the gym, out on the golf course or finding ways to get out and experience new places and activities.

Joining Hopkins and McHugh has allowed Ben to apply his energy for creating and developing new relationships to real estate, quickly establishing himself as an asset to the team and their customers.
