Home > Ski Area Info > The Lowdown on the FIS Championships: Where to Stay

Alpine speed skiing has had roots in Vail and Beaver Creek since the day Vail Ski Area opened for skiers in 1962. Founded by a ski racer, Vail has hosted numerous ski racing events since. Come be part of history and experience the fourth FIS Alpine World Championships and ride with Peak 1 Express to get there! Next to the Olympics, this is the most highly rated ski racing event. From February 2-15, over 700 ski racers from more than 70 different countries will be in Vail for the 2015 FIS Alpine World Championships and fortunately, access to this event is 100% free. While the actual competitions will be taking place at Beaver Creek, Vail is playing host to the ceremonies and nightly events.
