The Company also announced that each of its executives has personally signed up to purchase wind power for their homes. More details about the Ski Like the Wind promotion, including applicable restrictions, and Vail Resorts’ wind power purchase program can be found at www.snow.com. Vail Resorts is working with Boulder, Colorado-based Renewable Choice Energy as their wind power provider.
