Vail Resorts named one of Forbes’ America’s best-in-state employers 2021

Forbes shared its third-annual America’s Best-In-State Employers list, recognizing organizations top rated by employees across the country. Compiled through a survey of U.S. employees across 25 industry sectors, including topics like salary, potential for career growth, and work environment, Vail Resorts was named to the list for the first year—one of a select group of companies in Colorado. 
 
Headquartered in Broomfield, with 37 resorts in three countries including five in Colorado (Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone, and Crested Butte), Vail Resorts is committed to its mission of delivering an Experience of a Lifetime for employees so they can, in turn, provide the same to guests. Recently the company announced a wage increase, the single largest investment being made ahead of the upcoming winter season. Minimum wage will increase to $15 per hour across its Colorado, California, Utah, Washington, New York and Vermont resorts, with additional benefits surrounding Sick Time Off.  
 
Additionally, in October 2020 Vail Resorts added Be Inclusive to its seven core values. The company has made significant progress when it comes to advancing women in a traditionally male-dominated industry—and recognizes there’s work to do when it comes to racial diversity within the company, industry, and sport. With a focus on fostering a more inclusive company culture where all current and future employees feel welcome, Vail Resorts launched a new leadership development program—Leading Diversity, Equity and Inclusion to evaluate current atmosphere and personal mindsets; celebrate all forms of diversity; and set the expectation that good leaders must build an understanding of DEI terminology, cultural contexts, and unconscious bias.  
 
The recognition by Forbes is an emphatic endorsement of the culture, and comprehensive perks and benefits for Vail Resorts employees, which includes:
