Seven Inches of New Snow Provides a Bluebird Powder Day at Vail
Seven is the lucky number today at Vail Mountain, one of the largest ski resorts in the world, as skiers and snowboarders at the resort enjoy a bluebird powder day. The mountain received seven inches of new snow yesterday and has received 17 inches since the weekend.
With the 2015 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships officially underway and less than one percent of terrain affected at Vail Mountain, it’s a great time to visit the resort and enjoy the mountain to yourself by day and exciting medal ceremonies and free concerts by night at Championships Plaza at Solaris in Vail Village. Upcoming events include free concerts by Mix Master Mike tonight, American Authors on Friday, O.A.R. on Saturday, along with many other great headliner acts scheduled next week as the resort celebrates this historic event.
2015 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships, Feb. 2-15: Dream It. Live It. Share It.
The tradition of alpine ski racing has been interwoven throughout Vail and Beaver Creek’s history since Vail Mountain opened to the world in 1962. Founded by a ski racer, Vail hosted its first racing event, a U.S. Ski Team training camp, one week after opening and went on to host numerous World Cup races. The prestigious FIS Alpine World Ski Championships have been held in the U.S. only three times before, including 1989 and 1999 for which the Vail Valley also played host, firmly establishing the community as the ski racing capital of North America. The World Championships represent the largest and most impressive collection of ski racing talent in the world, second only to the Olympics, with approximately 700 athletes from more than 70 nations. Vail will serve as the official hub of the ceremonies and nightly festival events – concerts, parties, art and culinary features, a big-screen stadium and more – from Feb. 2 through 15, while Beaver Creek will host the majority of the competition – all of which is free to spectators, unlike championships in Europe! Experience the World Championships at home in the United States and see the world’s best ski racers in action while enjoying thousands of acres of terrain and the Vail and Beaver Creek experience that guests have come to expect and love.
