SandBoxBlogs: Vail Daily "Next year's Vail Resorts Epic Pass on sale"

This is just such a great marketing idea.  We're impressed with it every Spring.

To give a super deal on their signature Epic Pass for the upcoming season, before the current season is even over; not only gives locals a huge financial break it helps tourism dollars and the overall financial health of the Vail community.

Small businesses can see into the future a little bit easier so that they can plan ahead and in the off-chance the upcoming season turns out to be a dry one; skier visits being down takes less of a toll.

And the best part?  For only a $49 down payment you have until September to pay the balance.  Such a deal!
