VAIL, Colo. – March 21, 2012 – Vail Mountain, the largest ski resort in the United States, today announced that Ski Girls Rock, the resort’s premium children’s ski school product inspired by Olympic and World Alpine ski champion Lindsey Vonn, will be extended through Saturday, March 31.

Additional details about the public celebration will be announced soon.

Recognizing Vail and Lindsey Vonn’s global appeal, Vail is also inviting four girls from around the world to join in Ski Girls Rock for the day with the ski champion.

Each girl who participates in a Ski Girls Rock lesson also receives a commemorative Ski Girls Rock souvenir.

About Vail Mountain
Quickly approaching its 50th anniversary in December 2012 and coveted as the largest ski resort in the United States with more than 5,000 acres of skiable terrain, Vail is an extraordinary winter vacation destination. Spanning seven miles are seven legendary Back Bowls, blanketed last season with more than 40 feet of powder snow. Under blue skies more than 300 days each year and with more groomed terrain than anywhere on the planet, families reconnect and celebrate here from year to year and generation to generation. The vacation experience is world class, from the Vail Ski & Snowboard School to the events, activities and festivals, the shops and spas, abundant culinary experiences and luxurious accommodations. Coupled with the vision inherent in the spirit of Vail’s founders, and a modern day commitment to excellence in all aspects of guest service and operations, Vail can still credibly lay claim to being a resort like nothing on earth. www.Vail.com.
