They did worse than expected. So, if you own the stock, you aren&#8217;t happy right now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you are a Parkite with an Epic pass, you may be even unhappier. Season pass sales, by the number of passes, was UP 18% over last year through September 18th. By straight dollars, sales were down 4%. However, if you account for the credits from last year, sales were up 24%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, 18% more passes were sold. Maybe those purchases were by people in Colorado. Maybe Vail&#8217;s slope in Kansas City has become a hot commodity. They don&#8217;t announce sales by region, so we don&#8217;t know the regions driving the sales. However, my bet is a healthy number of those sales were in Utah. If the levels seen on our trails this summer are any indication, it&#8217;s likely people are itching to hit the slopes come December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, an old adage is &#8220;if it&#8217;s good for Vail, it&#8217;s good for Park City.&#8221; Or at least I imagine someone has said that. We&#8217;ll see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ll look forward to seeing you at the PCMR parking lot at 7:30 AM &#8212; so we both can vie for the last spot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, Vail announced its quarterly earnings.
