Vail Resorts and rivals sued over alleged ski pass price-fixing
Vail Resorts, Alterra Mountain Company and two smaller ski resort operators were sued in federal court in Colorado over alleged collusion to fix prices for multi-mountain season passes and lift tickets. Plaintiffs claim the companies used a trade group and research firm platform to share confidential pricing data and avoid competition, though defendants have denied the antitrust allegations and a dismissal bid is pending.
