Do Right -  Ethics Helpline - Stop. Think. Ask.

We are counting on you to be proactive and seek guidance when you have concerns.  Whenever you feel uncertain about whether an activity is ethical the most important thing to remember is to “Stop, Think and Ask”.  Consider whether you would be comfortable seeing your action, or that of somebody else representing the company, making headline news.  If this causes you to hesitate, then don’t do it or stand by and watch.  Trust your instincts, and ask someone in advance before creating a situation that’s harder to fix.  The best thing to do is:

Stop. Think. Ask. 

  • Is the action consistent with our Values?
  • Is this action fair and just?
  • Would I be comfortable seeing this action in a news feed?
  • Is this action legal?
  • Does the action comply with our policies and procedures?

Seeking Guidance or Voicing Concerns

If the answer to any of the questions above is NO or if you don’t know the answer, then stop and discuss the situation with your Manager or Human Resources.  If it’s not possible to raise or resolve an issue with your Manager or Human Resources, you can make an anonymous report to the Vail Resorts Ethics Helpline, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 1800 478 105.

Girlpower

News from the other side of the World

In recognition of our Company’s efforts to advance women in leadership, Vail Resorts has been named on Forbes’ 2019 list of America’s Best Employers for Women. This is the first time that Vail Resorts has been named to the list, which was compiled by surveying 60,000 Americans working for businesses with at least 1,000 employees.  

We’re proud to have so many women trailblazers in operational leadership at our company. You can hear their stories in the Trailblazers episode of our Epic By Nature podcast.

Continuing to foster an inclusive culture that attracts and retains a broad range of exceptional talent and promotes diverse leadership growth opportunities remains an ongoing priority.

Guest Feedback - Thanks Blue Cow Crew, especially the Mystery Lift Operator at Early Starter!

Props to the Mountain Staff at Blue Cow last week! This comment was received by a happy family after their visit:

Given that there had not been a lot of snow the snow making meant access to a number of runs which was good. After being regular skiers this was our first time back after 10 years, I have to say in that time the attitude of the lifties has improved significantly. They were friendly and helpful and created a really good vibe. My 8 year old daughter was a first time skier and they were so helpful to her and helped make it a very good experience. We were at Blue Cow on 8/7 and 9/7 and one girl in particular at the bottom of Early Starter was fantastic. Unfortunately I don't know her name. In the howling wind she would run down to my daughter and pull her up to the load spot with a smile on her face every time. These little things make so much of a difference - well done to her and all of the lifties
