VAIL, Colorado — If you have made acquaintance with a ski patroller who goes by the handle “Big Sexy," please let this person know Vail has located his or her missing radio.
At the Vail Mountain cleanup on Wednesday, Vail Resorts Echo, the host of the annual event, deemed a radio labeled property of Big Sexy the most interesting item to be found amid the roughly 20 cubic yards of trash collected.
Vail Resorts Environmental Manager Adam Bybliw estimates the haul to be about 5 more cubic yards or 25 percent more trash picked up than in years past, which he attributes to this year's record turnout. Two hundred ninety-seven public volunteers showed up on Wednesday, which put the total number of people helping out at around 500 including Vail Resorts employees, eclipsing last year's previous record of 241 public and 450 total volunteers.
