The Vail Ski Resort in Colorado was ranked the most resilient mountain in the world, according to research from global real estate service company Savills. That's thanks to its five-month-long season, high elevation, and consistent snow. In fact, the mountain is the largest ski resort in Colorado with more than 5,300 skiable acres and with a base altitude of 8,120 feet, it receives more than 350 inches of snowfall on average each year, according to the resort.
