Multi-country ski resort operator with 42 mountains and integrated hospitality services
Vail Resorts operates a geographically distributed portfolio across North America, Switzerland, and Australia, combining ski resort operations with hotels, retail, and vacation rentals. The tech stack reveals a hybrid infrastructure: Microsoft enterprise tools (Office, Teams, SharePoint) paired with operations-specific systems (Epic Systems, BMS, StarRez for lodging) and a modernizing cloud layer (AWS, Azure, GCP, Terraform, GitOps). Active adoption of Workday signals consolidation of HR systems. Hiring is heavily operations-weighted (687 of 987 active roles) with junior-level dominance, reflecting labor-intensive seasonal staffing and a decelerating velocity—consistent with post-pandemic normalization in hospitality.
Notable leadership hires: Restaurant Team Lead, Marketing Director, Art Director, Housekeeping Lead, Team Lead
