Vail Resorts reported some ski season results Thursday that show increased lift ticket revenues and skier visits during the 2010-11 ski season.
We'll know more about the season after the 3rd quarter earnings report is released. But for now it looks like we skied Vail a bit more than the year before and we spent a chunk o' change at the resort.
"The 2010-2011 ski season has come to a close, and we are pleased with the ski season metrics across our six resorts," Chief Executive Officer Rob Katz told the Vail Daily.
Easter fell later than usual this year, which affected bookings. Looking ahead to next year, Katz noted that Easter is April 8, which should mean a busy week on the slopes.
The company reported an 8 percent increase in lift ticket revenue, 8.4 percent increase in ski school revenue, 9 percent increase in dining revenue and 8.3 percent increase in retail and rental revenue.
The company also reported a 3.9 percent increase in skier visits.
All numbers are adjusted to include Northstar-at-Tahoe, which the company acquired last October.
