· With up to two feet of snow in the central Rockies from last weekend’s storm, Vail Resorts puts the Colorado Pass, Colorado Pass Plus and Summit Pass on sale again this Friday-Sunday at fall prices
· Special three-day pass sale at select Front Range locations; renewals online at www.coloradopass.com
BROOMFIELD, Colo.—Dec. 4, 2007—After a major snowstorm blanketed the central Rockies with up to two feet of snow this past weekend, Vail Resorts has decided to give Colorado skiers and snowboarders an early holiday gift this season. During this coming weekend only, Dec. 7-9, the popular Colorado Pass, Colorado Pass Plus, Summit Pass and Four Pack will go back on sale at the fall prices.
“With the huge snowstorm over the weekend in the mountains, we’ve been getting phone calls and e-mails from panicked Colorado skiers and snowboarders who didn’t buy their passes before our deadline last month. It seems that the warm weather we experienced took people’s minds off of the ski season until winter arrived in typical Rocky Mountain fashion this weekend. So we’re giving Front Rangers one more chance to buy a pass at Colorado Ski and Golf locations and Boulder Ski Deals this Friday, Saturday and Sunday,” said Chris Jarnot, senior vice president of marketing and sales for Vail Resorts.
