Vail Resorts reports season-to-date ski metrics

The company reported certain ski season metrics for the comparative periods from the beginning of the ski season through March 2, 2025, and for the prior year period through March 3, 2024. The reported ski season metrics are for the Company’s North American destination mountain resorts and regional ski areas, excluding the results of the Australian and European resorts and ski areas in both periods. The data mentioned in this release is interim period data and is subject to fiscal quarter end review and adjustments. Season-to-date total skier visits were down 2.5% compared to the prior year season-to-date period. Season-to-date total lift ticket revenue, including an allocated portion of season pass revenue for each applicable period, was up 4.1% compared to the prior year season-to-date period. Season-to-date ski school revenue was up 3.0% and dining revenue was up 3.1% compared to the prior year season-to-date period. Retail/rental revenue for North American resort and ski area store locations was down 2.9% compared to the prior year season-to-date period. Commenting on the season-to-date metrics, Lynch said, “Similar to the drivers in the second quarter, season-to-date results through March 2, 2025 reflect strong local visitation from improved early season conditions with destination visitation impacted by industry demand normalization and an expected shift in destination guest visitation to the spring. Ancillary spend per destination guest visit was strong across the Company’s ski school and dining businesses, with overall performance reflecting the higher mix of local visitation during the period.”
