I feel almost certain I have seen them around at Breck back when I was a regular there, perhaps @bounceswoosh knows for certain?

Vail Resorts does not have Over The Hill Gang. They have something called 50+ Ski With Us. I know the program is at Keystone. Not sure about Breck. A-Basin probably does their own thing since they are not officially connected to Vail Resorts.

I skied with the Over the Hill Gang at Steamboat one year.... They were so much fun and really good skiers...... I was one of the younger ones (but still over 50)..... I was wondering if other ski resorts had an "over the hill gang."
Think it's a great idea. I was with a friend who likes to ski a little but would rather do massages and get her hair done and shop... So this was perfect for me.. A great idea!

Copper has Over The Hill Gang. Pretty popular program.

The ORIGINAL and only "Over The Hill Gang" is at Copper Mountain and Copper has the rights to the name. The program runs on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sunday's. The Guides/Instructors are part of the Copper Ski/Ride School. They other "Over The Hill Gang" programs are part of the "International Over The Hill Gang" and have nothing to do with Coppers program. As LL said Vail Resorts does not have OHG but their own programs. It has had a few different names over the years. They ski at Keystone on Thursdays. I'm not familiar with the Vail Resorts programs because they are NOT associated with the ski/ride school. The only reason I know so much about the Copper OHG is because I was a supervisor for the "gang" for three seasons.
Have fun and if you are interested I work Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturdays. Stop by the meeting area and say hi if you are skiing Keystone.

Ah! I knew I had seen them around somewhere in Summit!
Thanks, @Bluestsky, for starting this discussion. I was planning to look for these groups next season myself.

So, here's what I got when searching for "50 Plus Ski with Us"
Keystone- they meet 8:30-9, Thursdays at the Summit House, top of Montezuma Express lift
Breck- they meet 8:30-9, Tuesdays at the TBar, bottom of Peak 8
Those 'in the know' pls post if this is incorrect.

Update on "50 Plus Ski with Us". Skied with them today at Keystone. Several ski levels you can pick...blue groomers, blue breezers (don't ask) , black/blue with some bumps, black bumps/trees. I didn't bother finding out about the most upper levels...won't be skiing with those in my lifetime.
Joined the black/blue with some bumps group and OMG those folk are amazing. We started at 9 am, groomed, ungroomed , no stops from top to bottom, slowing down on bumps (blue and black). Short lunch break and back on slopes until 2 am. I'm exhausted, ice on knees and grin on my face. I'm hooked.
If they are like that in other resorts, do check them out for fantastic time on slopes and friendly people.
Sorry, @KatyPerrey, looked around for you in the morning, but didn't see you there. Although the crowd was huge, so could've missed you.

Glad you had a great day! I didn't get to work till a little before 9 today so no chance of seeing me in the morning as you were already up the hill. I'm always around for the 10:00 group lessons meet up. I'm easy to spot because of the "smurf" blue uniform!
