News Releases

The following email was sent by Vail Resorts CEO, Kirsten Lynch, to employees on March 14, 2022.

To provide its pass holders and guests with even more time to enjoy the mountains they love, Vail Resorts is extending the 2021/22 ski and ride season across several of its resorts, weather and snow conditions permitting.

Rob Katz, our executive chairperson at Vail Resorts, joined Stuart to talk about who we are as a company and some of the challenges we’ve faced during the 2021/22 winter season.

The Vail Resorts 96 Hour Sale, which takes place from Tuesday, Feb. 8 through Friday, Feb. 11, offers travelers a limited-time opportunity to save on lodging rates across its portfolio of premier mountain destinations in North America.

In support of Vail Resorts’ Commitment to Zero—achieving a zero net operating footprint by 2030, including zero waste to landfill—this professional-grade gear has been repurposed into tote bags, goggle cases, backpacks, and sport bags that can be used for many, many more seasons to come.

Energy efficiency remains a key strategy in reducing the emissions associated with our operations and, with no time to waste when it comes to combating climate change, we’ll continue to advance toward our bold goals.

This will provide a regional destination for Epic Pass Holders in Pittsburgh as well as those in other critical markets such as Washington, D.C., Baltimore and Cleveland, who will be able to ski more resorts close to home – and visit world-class mountains out west – all with one pass.
