Snow drought drags Vail Resorts earnings, cooling Colorado ski season
Vail Resorts posted a 7% revenue decline to $90.4 million in the third quarter, citing unusually poor snow across the western U.S. during Spring Break and lowering its full-year forecast; Epic Pass sales dropped 10% year over year—the largest decline since its 2008 launch—while Colorado ski areas saw 24% fewer visitors and days open fall to 129 from 144.
