Vail Resorts, Inc.

Vail Resorts, Inc. owns and operates 42 mountain resorts across four countries, making it the largest mountain resort company by that measure. Its portfolio spans destination and close-to-home regional resorts, including Vail Mountain, Breckenridge and Park City Mountain in the United States and Whistler Blackcomb in Canada. The company is headquartered in Broomfield, Colorado.

Operations extend well beyond ski lifts. The company runs more than 250 retail and rental locations and over 300 food and beverage outlets, along with ski and snowboard schools, the luxury hospitality brand RockResorts, and summer activities such as mountain biking, hiking and golf. Its flagship product, the Epic Pass, is a season pass granting access to multiple resorts within the network.

Employment at Vail Resorts therefore spans a wide range of functions - hospitality and lodging, food and beverage, retail and equipment rental, sports instruction, and outdoor recreation operations - across multiple countries. The company states a mission of creating the Experience of a Lifetime for both employees and guests, with a stated focus on employee experience alongside guest experience.

The company has invested more than $2.2 billion over the past 15 years in on-mountain improvements, including new lifts, terrain and facilities. Industry verticals in which it operates include ski and mountain resorts, travel and tourism, hospitality, food and beverage, retail, and sports instruction.
