On Tuesday, Vail Resorts announced their $61,500 expansion plan which caters specifically to urban skiers.
It is time that our company caters to all varieties of skiers."
“The goal of the project is to make urban skiing a more family friendly experience.”
Another significant improvement Vail plans to bring to these handrails is snowmaking equipment.
Minnesota never has issues with being cold enough for snow but occasionally falters with precipitation.
If any skiers are caught shoveling the stairs they will be issued a $47 fine.
High speed winches will also be banned because they make skiers go unsafely fast.
Katz said “With Urban skiing on the rise, it is likely to pass the olympics in popularity.
This is why we felt the need to jump on the opportunity to commercialize it.
On your next urban trip, be sure to check out some of the spots owned by Vail Resorts.
You wont have to worry about getting kicked out.
Ski patrol and mountain safety are there to assist you if needed.
Not to mention fantastic apres ski!
An urban epic pass is also available $419 for full access to all Vail Resorts handrails.
Big ups to vail for keeping it real in the streets!
