Vail and Breckenridge Extend Ski Seasons
- Excellent snow conditions allow for one extra weekend of skiing
- All 2012/13 Vail Resorts season passes will continue to be valid during the extended season
- $25 lift tickets for season pass holders from other resorts; $50 lift tickets also available
“After skiing some amazing powder turns on Closing Day and more heavy snow in the forecast this week, we just don’t have the heart to shut down Breck’s lifts just yet,” said Pat Campbell, senior vice president and COO at Breckenridge Ski Resort. “We can’t deny how great the conditions are, so this is a great opportunity for all of our guests to take advantage of a few extra days and enjoy more of the spring skiing and riding we all love here in Breck.”
“This is a great way to end our 50th anniversary season,” added Chris Jarnot, senior vice president and COO at Vail Mountain. “This is an opportunity for our season pass holders and skiers from around the region to take advantage of a few extra days, and enjoy more spring skiing."
Skiing this weekend will be free for 2012-13 Vail Resorts season pass holders. In addition Vail and Breck will have a special $25 lift ticket for guests who hold season passes from non-Vail Resorts owned and operated resorts, and a $50 lift ticket for those without passes for purchase at the ticket windows.
