Vail Resort Slammed By 40 Inches Of Snow Over The Holiday Weekend
Vail Resort in Colorado gave the people what they wanted this weekend: face shots and fresh pow!
As it turns out, Utah wasn't the only state to benefit from the recent storm. In a post to Instagram yesterday, officials at Vail reported that "storm skiing has been full on the past few days, with nearly 40” in the last week!"
Vail offered "a huge thank you to our operations teams and ski patrol for keeping us safe."
"With a break in the flakes tomorrow, we’re ready for some sun, despite cold temps. Make sure to bundle up, and be on the lookout for sunny skies and powder stashes."
There's nothing quite like a bluebird day after a period of stormy skiing. Bring on that clear visibility and dark goggles!
