I was wondering what people think about the two big companies (Vail Resorts and Aspen/KSL) controlling such a large share of the total skier market?
In California, the new Aspen/KSL entity will provide close to 50% of the state's total skier visits with its 6 ski resorts (Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, June Mountain, Mammoth Mountain, Bear Mountain and Snow Summit).
Here's a good read from Jason Blevins of the Denver Post.
Consolidation, emerging duopoly in ski resort industry might raise antitrust concerns.
Thoughts from the Peanut Gallery?
PS I realize there was some discussion of this on the "Intrawest sells to Aspen and KSL" thread, but felt this topic warrants its on discussion.
