Pink Vail, touted as the “world’s biggest ski day to conquer cancer,” returns to Vail Mountain on Saturday, March 28.
Similar to a run or walk to support families fighting cancer, Pink Vail is a ski day bringing nearly 3,000 people to the slopes of Vail. And while it started as a way to conquer breast cancer, 100% of funds raised go to all patients at the Shaw Cancer Center in Edwards through enhancements in patient care and patient programming
Participants of Pink Vail range from 1 to 95 years old. Skiing during Pink Vail is not mandatory, although most teams hit the slopes in their pink outfits each year.
This year, organizers of Pink Vail are looking to raise $900,000. As of Feb. 13, 305 participants had signed up, including 43 cancer survivors, and $122,666 had been raised. Susan Catalano leads the individual fundraising, and Team Wonderwomen has raised over $22,000. Teams like the VVSC Vixens and Rebel Yells will surely make a push for that top fundraising team.

The Midnight Bathroom Run: Why It Happens and How to Stop It
If you’re waking up at night to pee, you’re not alone, and you’re not doomed to a lifetime of restless sleep. Nocturia, or nighttime urination, is one of the most common and under-discussed sleep disruptors, affecting both men and women, especially as we age. But according to Dr. Joseph Dall’Era, a urologist at Vail Health, it’s not something you have to simply “live with.” “Usually, we imply nocturia if the urge to urinate is what actually wakes people up,” Dall’Era explains. “For most people, getting up once a night isn’t a big deal. But if it starts to interfere with sleep quality or you notice a change in how often it’s happening, that’s worth a closer look.”
