Vail Resorts, Inc. (NYSE: MTN) announced today in celebration of the record-setting snowfall in Colorado and Lake Tahoe this season, it is reducing the prices on 2011-2012 season passes in a special, limited-time offer.

“The 2010-2011 ski and snowboard season was truly one for the record books. Both Colorado and Lake Tahoe received so much snow that our guests have been able to ski and ride phenomenal powder conditions all-season long,” said Heidi Kercher-Pratt, vice president and chief marketing officer for Vail Resorts. “We wanted to carry the excitement from this season into the 2011-2012 ski and snowboard season by offering our guests a limited-time, special discount on our most popular season pass products, giving skiers and riders an even greater ‘epic’ value at our six iconic resorts.”
