Vail Mountain will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of Blue Sky Basin tomorrow, January 6.

The celebration will begin at 10am with a ride up the Skyline Express Life (Chair 37) and the first 1000 skiers and snowboarders up to Belle's Camp will receive a limited edition commemorative lapel pin and complimentary hot chocolate and blue-iced cupcakes.

The event honors Pete Seibert and Earl Eaton's vision for Vail Mountain's expansion to the Blue Sky Basin area.

The main lifts on Vail Mountain open at 8:30am. For more information about the mountain, visit www.vail.com or contact the Mountain Information Center at (970) SKI-VAIL.
