VAIL SUCKS

[gittist]

"Vail’s dining underperformed expectations and remains below pre-pandemic levels."

Yeah, because with runaway inflation and stagnating wages nobody can afford a $16 hot dog.

and that's just the hot dog. The bun and condiments are al a carte plus the mandatory 20% tip. I know be quiet before Vail thinks about that...

The poles look longer than the skis? Is he 7 foot tall or something?

Wonder when desperation sets in? Stock is essentially unchanged compared to pre-pandemic. Where/how is there still growth to gain in their industry?

With high interest rates it's unlikely they'll be acquiring more large resorts anytime soon. We're now in the ancillary revenue phase, price increases on everything, new fees (e.g. parking, etc...). I expect some new costs we haven't seen before in the next year or so - the human imagination in that regard is the limit.

And re: performance, a vanilla investment in the S&P 500 has kicked Vail's butt during this time.

There's definitely something really strange going on with this photo.

Anyone have any idea how much the price goes up on Epic passes after tonight? (Specifically the 3 or 4 day passes)

The last couple of price jumps were very small for the day passes.

Alterra just acquired Mike Wiegele's fleet of helicopters and heli-skiing company.

This will no doubt cause Vail to purchase F-16s.

The company will become Alterra's 18th destination operation, and the second heli-skiing company in its portfolio

Why does this picture exist? Dude is out of his mind.

Why does this picture exist? Dude is out of his mind.

His ego is just as overly inflated as Vails stock price

overly inflated as Vails stock price

Is this true? I believe the P/E is way down on Vail's stock over the last few years, but not sure what is a fair value.

I remember like 7-8 years ago when I was with a Vail owned resort. Katz would ski with/as a private lesson so he could cut all the lines. I always laughed at that but smart.
