The increase in participation that we saw during the pandemic remained high. The renewed interest in golf, tennis and other recreational activities remains steady.
The Vail Recreation District was not immune to the staffing challenges in the Vail Valley. Most of our departments were understaffed for some or most of the year. Our existing staff worked incredibly hard to maintain our high standards for programming, and we thank each one of them for all of their hard work.
