Vail Buys Wilmot Ski Area Between Chicago, Milwaukee
BROOMFIELD, Colo. (AP) - Vail Resorts says it has acquired the Wilmot Mountain ski area in Wisconsin, between Milwaukee and Chicago.
The Broomfield, Colorado-based company said Tuesday it plans to improve terrain parks, instruction, dining, snowmaking, parking and other aspects of the resort.
The price of the sale wasn't disclosed.
Wilmot is 50 miles southwest of Milwaukee and 65 miles north of Chicago. Vail Resorts says Wilmot currently has 25 trails, four terrain parks, a tubing hill, a ski and snowboard school and a ski racing program.
Wilmot will be included in the company's Epic Pass and Epic Local Pass for the 2016-2017 season.
Vail Resorts owns two other urban resorts, Afton Alps near Minneapolis-St. Paul and Mount Brighton near Detroit.
Vail has eight mountain resorts in California, Colorado, Nevada and Utah.
