Ski resorts are capital‑intensive, seasonally driven businesses where land, lift infrastructure, snowmaking capacity and lodging often matter as much as operating cashflow — making valuations and deal risk unique compared with other leisure assets. This Industry Guide distills practical Valuation Rules of Thumb (EBITDA multiples, per‑skier‑visit and per‑acre benchmarks), Due Diligence best practices (avalanche and environmental risk, water/permit rights, lift maintenance and deferred capex), and the Key Success Factors buyers and operators must master (reliable snowmaking, diversified year‑round revenue, pass strategy, access and guest experience). Use it to price, vet and operate mountain resorts with confidence.
