Mattson said there was an officer from Eagle County Sheriff’s Office, two officers from the Eagle Police Department and four police officers from the Vail Police Department on hand to greet crowds and offer services.
Local snowboarder Zach Varon said despite the large number of police and security on the mountain, he was glad to see party goers feel free to let loose in the usual Closing Day gathering spots at Beaver Creek.
“I’m really glad I made it out here,” Varon said. “The terrain park was still in good shape and everyone was stoked to get together after missing out last year.”
