Vail and Beaver Creek Closed For The 2008 Season
Record Snowfall Highlights The Year
Vail and Beaver Creek Ski Resorts are officailly closed for the 2007-2008 ski season. Beaver Creek set a new record with 430 inches of snow; Vail reported 463″ of snow. It was truly one of the best snow years ever!
The final day was one that will be long remebered by those present. Bright sunshine, blue skies, and fantastic snow conditions greeted thousands of skiers on April 13, 2008. While Beaver Creek was surprisingly mellow, Vail was packed with many costumed revellers celebrating “4 at 4″, the top of the mountain party named for Chair 4 at 4 o’clock.
This season had few “spring skiing days”; those warm, sunny, corn snow days that many of us dream about. “Better late than never!” was the attitude from those skiers and snowboarders on the mountain, and everyone seemed content to have the sun on their faces.
Enjoy the golf and see you next year!
