Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Based on last winter and the unusual amount of precipitation we have received here in Colorado since fall of 2006, I am guessing that Vail will get a lot of snow this year, and that should mean that they will in turn get a lot of money out of that snow. I don't ski, but I have been to Vail and it i...More

Time to go mountain climbing! Vail Resorts is an asset play with big, tall assets that will only appreciate and command higher prices than their stated book value. These areas are national treasures that will always be in demand year in and year out. Also a slight hedge against the falling dollar because of the attractiveness for foreigners to visit. Want to talk about moat? Keep your moat and I'll take a mountain. Vail is the big player in the some of the best Colorado ski resorts (Vail, Breckenridge, Keystone and Beaver Creek) which amounts to about 40% of the market. Also a resort in Lake Tahoe. The thesis on this one is pretty simple, is Colorado skiing, lodging and real estate likely to do well over time? Yeah, I thought the same thing too. When this solid company finally got down to a compelling price price due to recession fears and low early snowfall I decided it was time to go mountain climbing. Want to join me at the top. Nice view up here and looking better, outperform!

Snow skiing resorts have priced themselves out of being profitable. If an average family of four cannot go skiing at your resort for under $800, then you are over priced. Take a tip from Bogus Basin in Idaho. Selling season passes for $200 dollars and making a huge profit from doing so.

Attractive business model combining real estate with revenue from resort operations and a lot of snow this season.
