Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:57:41 GMT

Vail Resorts has plans to transform the way guests select and pick up rental gear with the creation of a unique program called My Epic Gear, revealing the concept in a news release on Monday.Users will be able to select the gear they want to rent through an app and it will be delivered to them if they are staying at lodging within a resort area.
