Vail Resorts (NYSE:MTN) is a leading mountain resort company that owns and operates an integrated network of ski areas, hotels, restaurants and retail outlets. The company’s signature Epic Pass program offers skiers and snowboarders season‐long access to its portfolio of resorts, while ancillary services such as ski and snowboard schools, equipment rental and retail drive additional revenue.
Headquartered in Broomfield, Colorado, Vail Resorts was formed in 1997, building on the legacy of Vail Associates, which opened the Vail ski area in 1962. Since its initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker MTN, the company has pursued both organic expansion and strategic acquisitions to enhance its market presence and diversify its offerings.
Today, Vail Resorts operates more than 40 destinations across North America and Australia, including flagship properties such as Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Park City, Whistler Blackcomb and Perisher. In addition to winter sports, the company has invested in summer mountain activities, real estate development and luxury lodging to create a year-round business model and deepen guest engagement.
The company is led by Chief Executive Officer Kirsten Lynch, who has overseen initiatives to upgrade resort infrastructure, expand digital platforms and advance sustainability goals. Under her leadership, Vail Resorts continues to focus on delivering premium guest experiences and long-term growth in the global mountain resort industry.
