Vail Resorts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vail Resorts, Inc. runs four ski resorts in Colorado, as well as one in Lake Tahoe (on the California-Nevada border) and a summer resort in Wyoming. They also own luxury resort hotels throughout the United States. The company was renamed Vail Resorts from Gillette Holdings in June, 1996.
Vail Resorts operates the Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, and Keystone ski areas in Colorado, and Heavenly Ski Resort on the California-Nevada border. It acquired the Grand Teton Lodge Company within the Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming in 1999. The properties include the Jenny Lake Lodge, Jackson Lake Lodge, and Colter Bay Village.
In 2001, Vail Resorts acquired the renowned hotel chain Rockresorts, which contributed substantially to their brand recognition. The properties include:
The Lodge at Rancho Mirage, CA
