Vail Resorts acquired Stowe Mountain Resort earlier this year to make it their first east coast location. Due to their premier locations they hold somewhat of a monopoly in the sector being able to raise prices when necessary. Even though Vail Resorts does struggle to make money in the summer they have been making strides to make the fun last year-round. Some of the things they have tried include, ziplines and hiking paths. Looking at past Estimize data it shows the strong trend of a plateau in Q3 then a drop in EPS and Revenue for Q4.
