Look, it sounds like the price of skiing has increased a lot and the market is not that competitive. (The relevant market from an antitrust perspective isn’t “ski resorts” though - “winter recreation” or “general outdoor recreation” are much more plausible.) To blame Vail Resorts for high housing costs is just stupid. Any ski town in Colorado could make it easier to build housing. They don’t. Nor do the non-ski-towns along the I-70 corridor. They all make it extremely difficult. Assign blame where it is actually due. Vail Resorts may be loathsome for a lot of reasons but don’t blame them for housing costs.
