This spring marks the 30th anniversary of the Vilar Performing Arts Center's @vilarpac groundbreaking. We take a look back at the conception and evolution of Beaver Creek’s cutting-edge, subterranean concert hall in the current issue of the magazine – in print or online. Link in bio.

Longtime locals may wistfully recall that 50 winters ago, the Olympics were supposed to have been in Vail.
The International Olympic Committee selected Denver to host the 12th Olympic Winter Games and approved Vail Mountain as the venue for alpine races. But Colorado voters scuttled those plans when, via a statewide referendum in 1972, they declined to fund the bid, and Denver became the first host city ever to reject a Winter Games.
Five weeks after these members of the US Ski Team posed with First Lady Betty Ford on Vail Mountain on December 27, 1975, the winter games were held in Innsbruck, Austria. Sun Valley’s Susie Patterson (third from right) finished 14th in the women’s downhill; Vail local Cindy Nelson won bronze.
