Weakness in visits from out-of-state guests was the primary reason. Total skier visits across the company's properties -- Vail, Beaver Creek, Keystone and Breckenridge in Colorado, and Heavenly in California -- were down 5.3% relative to the same period for the previous year.</p>
<p>The ski resort operator generated total earnings for the quarter (which ended April 30, 2009) of $61.6 million, which amounts to $1.68 per share. For the quarter ending April 30, 2008, Vail Resorts had earnings of $87.3 million (or, $2.24 per share). </p><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/06/08/vail-resorts-earnings-weak-fewer-out-of-towners/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Vail Resorts earnings weak, fewer out-of-towners</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/06/08/vail-resorts-earnings-weak-fewer-out-of-towners/">Vail Resorts earnings weak, fewer out-of-towners</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Mon, 08 Jun 2009 10:30:00 EST.
