Vail Resorts’ headquarters in Broomfield, CO is less than a twenty minutes drive from Boulder, where a senseless shooting killing ten people occurred in a supermarket yesterday.
Many Vail Resorts’ employees reside in Boulder, and due to this, the company has decided to postpone the ‘big news’ they’ve been teasing, until tomorrow March 24th, 2021.
“We are deeply saddened by yesterday’s unspeakable tragedy in Boulder, Colorado. Just miles from our company’s headquarters, Boulder is home to many of our employees who are devastated by this senseless act of violence in their community. We offer our sincerest and most heartfelt condolences. Out of respect for all of those impacted, we have decided to postpone today’s planned announcement and pass launch until Wednesday, March 24.”
