VAIL — This spring and summer eight employees of Vail, Beaver Creek and Colorado Mountain Express are participating in Vail Resorts Epic Volunteers program.

As a result, the program now provides up to 50 Vail Resorts employees each year with 40 hours of paid time off to volunteer for the charity of their choice anywhere in the world.

The current Eagle County Epic Volunteers are supporting domestic and international organizations including the Colorado Trail Foundation, The Cycle Effect, the Betty Ford Children’s Center, Camp Agape NW, Timmy Global Health and Poured Out.
