Vail Resorts closes acquisition of three Pennsylvania ski resorts
Vail Resorts Inc. has closed on its acquisition of Seven Springs Mountain Resort in Champion, PA; Hidden Valley Resort in Somerset, PA; and Laurel Mountain Ski Area in Boswell, PA. The company purchased the resorts, including the ski areas, a hotel, conference center and other related operations, from Seven Springs Mountain Resort Inc. and its affiliates for a final purchase price of approximately $118 million, including customary closing purchase price adjustments.

Operations at the three resorts for the 2021-22 winter season will continue in the ordinary course of business. Vail Resorts plans to add access to the three resorts to select Epic Pass products for the 2022-23 North American ski and ride season.

Hidden Valley offers 110 skiable acres and 470 vertical ft., with 26 slopes and trails and two terrain parks. Laurel Mountain offers 70 skiable acres and 761 vertical ft.
