SkiReport.com acquired by Vail Resorts
It’s a been a while in the making, but can finally announce Vail Resorts has now officially acquired SkiReport.com (official press release).
Special thanks to my brother Nate and all the friends that have contributed in some fashion to SkiReport over the years… Jeff Collins, Matt Logan, Ben Standefer, Ashley Messick, Trevor Usken, Jonathan Hester, Rosanne O’Rourke, Marc Hemeon, and many more.
It’s been a long ride… pretty fun to to take a look at the Wayback machine to see the site change over the year. Too many milestones to name, but here’s a stab at some top ones:
May, 2003
My brother, Nate, and I acquire the domain, SkiReport.com.

Launched subsidiary, SkiLodgingOnline.com. Umm, ya this one failed.
