  • THE DETERMINANTS of SKI RESORT SUCCESS the Faculty of the Department of Economics and Business
    THE DETERMINANTS OF SKI RESORT SUCCESS A THESIS Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Economics and Business The Colorado College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts By Ezekiel Anouna May/2010 THE DETERMINANTS OF SKI RESORT SUCCESS Ezekiel Anouna May, 2010 Economics Abstract As the economy is in a decline, fewer people are willing to pay for luxuries such as vacations. Thus, the ski resort industry is suffering. This thesis reveals an opportunity m the growth of free skiing and a demand for more difficult terrain. In this paper, data is collected from nearly all Colorado ski resorts to form a regression model explaining resort success. Regression analysis is conducted to discover what aspects of a ski resort contribute to success. Primarily, skier visits from the 2008-2009 ski season are_useclas the dependant variable in the regression model to measure resort success. Additionally, hedonic pricing theory is applied to test lift ticket price as a dependant variable. The paper finds that resort size, and possibly terrain park features are related to resort success. The hedonic pricing regression finds that bowl skiing, and lack of crowds, increase consumer willingness to pay for expensive lift tickets. KEYWORDS: (ski resort, terrain park, hedonic pricing) ON MY HONOR, I HAVE NEITHER GIVEN NOR RECEIVED UNAUTHORIZED AID ON THIS THESIS Signature I would like to thank my thesis advisor, Esther Redmount, for her support and consistent efforts to make sure I was on track. I would like to thank my family for supporting me in so many ways throughout my college career.

  • Industry Vs. Lifestyle: a Sociological Study of Downhill Snow Skiing in North America
    INDUSTRY VS. LIFESTYLE: A SOCIOLOGICAL STUDY OF DOWNHILL SNOW SKIING IN NORTH AMERICA Adam L. Roossien Plan II Honors Undergraduate Thesis College of Liberal Arts The University of Texas at Austin May 2017 __________________________________________ Ben Carrington Department of Sociology Supervising Professor __________________________________________ Thomas Hunt Department of Kinesiology and Health Education Second Reader ABSTRACT Author: Adam L. Roossien Title: Industry vs. Lifestyle: A Sociological Study of Downhill Snow Skiing in North America Supervising Professors: Ben Carrington & Thomas Hunt Since the year 2000, the price of downhill snow skiing has risen nearly 200%. Over the last five years, this price escalation has picked up, and the price of downhill snow skiing has risen 75%. This change is being driven by large snow skiing corporations who have led a movement of commercialization and consolidation in the industry. Vail Resorts is the largest of these corporations, owning over 50% of the $3.2 billion industry. As the major giant of the industry, Vail Resorts has experienced tremendous financial success as a result of snow skiing’s recent corporatization. However, this corporatization is leading to the severe marginalization and destruction of snow skiing subculture. Due to downhill snow skiing’s foundational dependence on its rich and distinct subculture, this cultural destruction is causing a deterioration of the sport itself. This thesis engages in a sociological study of the modern downhill snow skiing industry, examining issues of lifestyle sport culture, social power, corporate strategy, and cultural impact. The research exhibited herein consolidates the fragmented bodies of lifestyle sport and snow skiing literature, and draws on primary interviews and observational data.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Health and Human Development DENVER ’76: THE WINTER OLYMPICS AND THE POLITICS OF GROWTH IN COLORADO DURING THE LATE 1960s AND EARLY 1970s A Dissertation in Kinesiology by Adam Berg © 2016 Adam Berg Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2016 The dissertation of Adam Berg was reviewed and approved* by the following: Mark Dyreson Professor of Kinesiology Dissertation Adviser Co-Chair of Committee R. Scott Kretchmar Professor of Exercise and Sport Science Co-Chair of Committtee Jaime Schultz Associate Professor of Kinesiology Peter Hopsicker Associate Professor of Kinesiology Lori D. Ginzberg Professor of History and Women’s Studies Stephen Piazza Professor of Kinesiology Graduate Program Director *Signature are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT On May 12, 1970, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) awarded Denver, Colorado, the 1976 winter Olympic games. About two and half years later, on November 7, 1972, Colorado citizens voted by a three to two margin to make it a violation of Colorado’s constitution for state funds to be allocated toward the event. Colorado politicians and business leaders had spent years planning, campaigning, and traveling the globe to earn the right to host the winter sports festival. Nevertheless, with funding suddenly inaccessible, Denver’s Olympic planners were forced to rescind their invitation to “the youth of the world,” as Olympic hosts traditionally declared every four years. This dissertation delves into the political controversies surrounding the 1976 Denver winter Olympic games. Colorado’s decision to banish the Olympics was the product of a change in how Coloradans viewed economic growth, combined with broadened understandings of the political power of citizenship.

  • Vail Resorts 2004 Annual Report Just Another Day in Paradise
    Vail Resorts 2004 Annual Report Just another day in paradise... Vail Resorts is the premier mountain resort company in North America, with six distinctive mountain resorts: Vail® Breckenridge™ Keystone® Heavenly® Beaver Creek® Vail Resorts is committed to providing world-class facilities and service for our customers, an attractive workplace for our employees, sensitivity to our surroundings and profitable growth for our shareholders. ማሜምሞ Grand Teton ® In addition, RockResorts, a luxury hotel operator, has been part of the Vail Resorts portfolio since fiscal 2002. Cover Photo: The majesty of Vail Mountain radiates under the night sky as the moonlight cascades down upon the ski slopes. While the charm and grace of Vail Village and Lionshead have long been icons of the Vail Valley, with the start of Vail’s New Dawn, the magic will be intensified. The beauty of this land can be attributed to the dedicated and tireless work of the United States Forest Service. Vail Resorts’ companies operate in and around the White River National Forest in Colorado, under the management of the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit in the Eldorado National Forest in California and the Humboldt- Toiyabe National Forest in Nevada, and on lands managed by the National Park Service in the Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. To Our Shareholders: Fiscal 2004 was truly an outstanding year for Vail Resorts, as we enjoyed a robust and healthy rebound from the difficult operating environment post 9/11. Although still fresh in all of our minds, this year the threat of terrorism and ongoing military conflict abroad did not put a chill in visitation at our mountain resorts and luxury hotels.
