About Vail: Your Trusted News Source
Our Journey Begins
Vail was founded in 2017 with a vision to become the go-to news platform for the vibrant community of Vail, Colorado, and its surrounding areas. The idea sprang from the realization that while Vail boasts a thriving local scene, reliable and up-to-date information about the region was hard to come by. We set out to fill this gap in the digital landscape.
