Vail Mountain has announced that it will extend its hours of operation to 9am to 5pm for the week of March 28 – April 11, 2015. In celebration of the Easter holiday, skiers (and snowboarders) will be able to tear up the mountain past normal hours of skiing and riding throughout the holiday to get the biggest bang for their buck at the resort. “We know that many of our Easter holiday guests would prefer to start and end their day on the mountain later than our normal operating hours allow and that springtime conditions tend to be better later in the day vs. earlier,” states Chris Jarnot, senior vice president and chief operating officer of Vail Mountain. So, if you’re searching for the ideal holiday getaway, Vail should definitely be on your radar for the spring shred. For more information, see the press release below.
