Vail Resorts, in a statement Friday, announced that uphill access at its Colorado resorts is closed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe continue to work closely with local officials to ensure the safety of our communities,\u201d wrote John Plack, a Vail Resorts spokesman, in an email to the Vail Daily. \u201cGiven that there is no terrain risk mitigation and no ski patrol currently at our resorts, uphill traffic, is unsafe for skiers, riders, those sledding and first responders. We appreciate everyone\u2019s cooperation obeying posted closures.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vail Resorts operates five mountain resorts in Colorado: Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone and Crested Butte.<\/p>\n

Since Vail Resorts shut down its North American resorts on Saturday, then announced the closure was for the remainder of the season Tuesday, locals have taken to the mountains to earn their turns.<\/p>\n

The Colorado Avalanche Information Center lists avalanche danger as \u201cconsiderable\u201d for the Vail\/Summit County area for March 19 and 20. Center-speak, that means \u201cDangerous avalanche conditions. Cautious route-finding and conservative decision-making essential.\u201d Also: With the Vail and Beaver Creek ski areas closed, Vail Resorts isn\u2019t performing in-bounds avalanche mitigation.
