The Vail Town Council on Tuesday agreed to provide an extra $480,000 to a pair of early ski season events.
The weeks between Vail’s Opening Day and the Christmas holidays can be pretty quiet. Events add some bounce to those days. With that in mind, the council asked staff to find extra money to enhance those events, each of which is aimed at a somewhat different audience.
The council agreed to boost funding for December’s Powabunga festival, set for Dec. 9-12, from about $120,000 to $300,000. The extra funding will help enhance the talent to be booked.
