In this Sept. 21, 2012 photo, Rich Maloy looks at skis at a ski shop in Boulder, Colo. Maloy of Boulder didn't buy a season pass after moving to Colorado from New York last year, partly due to poor snow. But this year, he bought an Epic Local pass from Vail Resorts for access, with some restrictions, to the company's seven resorts plus Arapahoe Basin, along with a four-pack, good for four days at Loveland.
