MT. CRESTED BUTTE, Colo. – March 26, 2019 – It has been a season to remember across Vail Resorts’ Colorado mountains with record-breaking snowfall, early season openings and incredible events throughout the 2018-19 winter season.

To maximize usage of the Epic Pass over the remainder of the season, prioritize these events across our Colorado resorts.
