Our ski areas are located in geographically diverse areas. Adverse weather patterns are challenges that all ski area operators face. In order to mitigate the negative effects that adverse weather may have on our overall financial results, we have strategically acquired or developed our ski areas in geographically diverse regions of the United States in order to compensate for any adverse weather that one region may experience over another during a particular ski season
