What Vail Resorts, Inc. does

In the company’s own words

Vail Resorts, Inc. (NYSE: MTN) operates the world's largest owned and operated network of destination mountain resorts and regional ski areas. The company's website is www.snow.com.

The company operates through three reportable segments: Mountain, which generated approximately 88% of net revenue; Lodging, which represented 12%; and Real Estate, which contributed less than 1%. The Mountain segment operates 42 world-class destination mountain resorts and regional ski areas across North America, Europe, and Australia, along with ancillary services including ski schools, dining, and retail/rental operations. The Lodging segment owns and manages luxury hotels under the RockResorts brand, condominium units near mountain resorts, National Park Service concessioner properties including the Grand Teton Lodge Company, a resort ground transportation company, and mountain resort golf courses. The Real Estate segment develops and sells real estate in resort communities.

Vail Resorts' portfolio includes iconic destination resorts such as Vail Mountain, Breckenridge, Park City, Beaver Creek, and Whistler Blackcomb, complemented by regional ski areas strategically positioned near major U.S. population centers in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest regions. The company also operates ski areas in Australia and Switzerland. During the 2025/2026 ski season, the company's North American resorts attracted approximately 13.1 million skier visits, representing roughly 17.9% of North American skier visits.

The company's business model centers on season pass and Epic Day Pass products, which generated approximately 70% of lift revenue and 73% of total visitation during fiscal 2026. Pass holders benefit from the Epic Mountain Rewards program offering discounts on food, lodging, and lessons, plus Epic Coverage providing refunds for qualifying closures and personal circumstances. The Lodging segment manages approximately 4,500 owned and managed hotel rooms and condominium units.

Vail Resorts differentiates itself through its integrated, fully-owned network connected by a unified pass and marketing ecosystem supported by proprietary technology platforms including the My Epic App. The company has invested over $560 million in lift upgrades and $105 million in snowmaking improvements since 2016, positioning itself as a leader in capital investment and guest experience innovation across its geographically diverse resort network.

Vail Resorts, Inc.’s bonds, as funds hold them

Funds report holding 3 issues of Vail Resorts, Inc.’s debt, $564.28M at market value — what funds hold, not the company’s total debt. Weighted-average coupon 6.12%, maturing 2030 to 2032.

Fund ownership counts N-PORT filers only, so it is a floor rather than a census — pensions, insurers and direct holders are not visible here, and the remainder is not “held by individuals”.

Fund ownership is a subset of institutional 13F ownership — the two describe overlapping populations and must not be added together.
