Dominant player in its field. Although skiing and snowboarding are not cheap activities, there is the uber rich, from here in the US as well as abroad, who will not be as sensitive to the macro-economic trends, who will continue their frolic in the ...

They are buying Summer resorts in the Bahamas to expand.

This company is all about its land holdings. What a moat! how much would it cost to build a new Vail? Unless the managment goes off the deep end this company should do well. Only down side is that it is seasonal and can be weather dependant.

I've been skiing since I could walk and my family bought a place at Beaver Creek about 5-10 years ago. Not only do the resorts in Colorado offer a world class mountain from a terrain perspective, but the resort services, surrounding real estate/lod...
