Vail Resorts Reports 14.9% Drop in Ski Visits, 5.6% Decline in Lift Revenue Season-to-Date
MTN is trading near its 52-week low of $123.82 (4.2% above the low).
Summary
Vail Resorts announced a significant decline in key operational metrics for the season-to-date through April 19, reporting a 14.9% drop in total skier visits and a 5.6% decrease in lift revenue. This update follows the company's Q2 earnings report in March, which already indicated a significant impact from low snowfall and led to a cut in full-year guidance. The current figures, along with declines in ski school, dining, and retail revenues, confirm the ongoing challenges and reinforce the company's expectation for fiscal 2026 Resort Reported EBITDA to be at the low end of its previously lowered guidance. This continued weak performance, driven by unfavorable weather conditions, is a material negative development for the company and could further pressure the stock, which is already trading near its 52-week low. Investors will be watching for any signs of recovery in future reports or adjustments to operational strategies.
