“Last Sunday was supposed to have been the end of sales for these passes, but there was once again a late rush on Sunday afternoon, and we were not able to accommodate everyone who wanted to buy a pass. In addition, this week we’ve been receiving the usual flood of panicked calls from skiers and snowboarders who forgot to buy their passes.Therefore, we’re giving everyone one last chance this weekend to get out and buy their passes or renew online at Coloradopass.com,” said Chris Jarnot, vice president of sales and marketing for Vail Resorts.
