If time were not an issue, this would be about ten times as long (~2500 words), which may seem unnecessary. But as there was time limit (a “case challenge”) for this session, each 20% of solution length roughly equals extra 5 minutes allowed for this assignment, thus providing a bit more flexibility without taking up undue time to be excessively comprehensive (or polished)… while preserving a semblance of quality level sufficient for an undergrad thesis. As with anything, be mindful about overgeneralizing – remember, even HBS cases should maintain some originality in the content
“Activism and Investor Pressure”
## Case Background / Context
[Opening with one paragraph]
If we go back to July 2022, at around $286 billion Vail Resources has become by the end a conglomeration with 37 assets operating across skiing and resorts globally and a market cap greater than Disney by the virtue of buying its rival Whiskey Jack Ski Area Inc, a move it considered “bolt on acquisition opportunity”. In February 2023, Vail decided to acquire Snow Park City USA Inc, to expand beyond ski resorts to the summer activity destination space. Bearing a similar market-focused mindset Vail operates a variety of summer businesses beyond ski and outdoor sports (e.g., summer camps) under umbrellas such as “Treblebug Camp” and “WhiskeyJack Adventures”. These “value adding, noncore activities” have recently been in high growth trajectory especially for children’s programs and day programs. The business moves have created numerous revenue opportunities and more expansion of their offerings on summer weekends in both Aspen and Beaver Creek by offering new types of adventures such as horseback trail rides. In March 2022, Vail released its financial statements indicating an increase in net revenues by 43% compared with previous year. From 2008 through February 2022 Vail expanded its assets from 24 to 40 in $4 billion deal acquisitions for Virtua Partners LLP and Tiro Sport LLC, respectively, making it the biggest player worldwide.
