By Matt Pepin, Boston Globe
Vail Resorts, the Colorado-based owner of ski areas around North America, is continuing its expansion on both coasts and in Colorado.
Vermont’s Okemo Mountain announced Monday morning that it has entered into a purchase agreement with Vail Resorts that also includes New Hampshire’s Mount Sunapee and Colorado’s Crested Butte. Vail also bought Stevens Pass ski area in Washington state. The sales are expected to be completed this summer.
Vail owns Heavenly, Kirkwood and Northstar in the Tahoe area.
