Broomfield, Colo. -- Nov. 16, 2009 -- Another fall storm hit Colorado this past weekend, much to the delight of skiers and snowboarders at Breckenridge and Keystone. The new snow will help Breckenridge and Keystone open more terrain by this weekend and is setting a wintry stage for Vail's opening day on Friday, Nov. 20 and Beaver Creek's Nov. 25 opening day.
The new snow is also serving as a reminder for skiers and snowboarders to buy their Vail Resorts season pass. "We've been getting phone calls and e-mails from eager Colorado skiers and snowboarders who didn't buy their Colorado Pass before our Nov. 15 deadline," said Heidi Kercher-Pratt, chief marketing officer for Vail Resorts. "With the new snow and the kickoff of the season at Breckenridge and Keystone and with Vail and Beaver Creek opening soon, we're giving our loyal guests one more week to buy a Colorado Pass ... or an Epic or Summit pass."
Vail Resorts is extending the deadline on Colorado Pass sales through Sunday, Nov. 22. Now, all three passes - The Colorado, Summit and Epic passes - will be on sale through Sunday, Nov. 22 at the current pricing:
