On
March 20, 2008, The Vail Corporation (“Vail Corp.”), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, exercised the accordion feature under the
revolver component of its senior credit facility (the “Credit Facility”)
as provided in the existing Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement,
dated as of January 28, 2005, as amended, between The Vail Corp., Bank of
America, N.A. as administrative agent and the Lenders party thereto (the
“Credit Agreement”), which expanded the borrowing capacity from $300.0
million to $400.0 million at the same terms existing in the Credit
Agreement.
|
(b)
|
In
September 2005, SSV entered into a new credit facility (“SSV Facility”)
with U.S. Bank as lender to refinance its existing credit facility and to
provide additional financing for future acquisitions. The new
facility provides for financing up to an aggregate $33.0 million
consisting of (i) an $18.0 million working capital revolver, (ii) a $10.0
million reducing revolver and (iii) a $5.0 million acquisition
revolver. Obligations under the SSV Facility are collateralized
by a first priority security interest in all the assets of SSV ($94.3
million at July 31, 2008). Availability under the SSV Facility
is based on the book values of accounts receivable, inventories and rental
equipment of SSV. The SSV Facility matures September
2010. Borrowings bear interest annually at SSV's option of (i)
LIBOR plus 0.875% (3.34% at July 31, 2008) or (ii) U.S. Bank's prime rate
minus 1.75% (3.25% at July 31, 2008). Proceeds under the
working capital revolver are for SSV's seasonal working capital
needs. No principal payments are due until maturity, and
principal may be drawn and repaid at any time. Proceeds under
the reducing revolver were used to pay off SSV's existing credit
facility. Principal under the reducing revolver may be drawn
and repaid at any time. The reducing revolver commitments
decrease by $0.3 million on January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31
of each year beginning January 31, 2006 ($6.6 million available at July
31, 2008). Any outstanding balance in excess of the reduced
commitment amount is due on the day of each commitment
reduction. The acquisition revolver is to be utilized to make
acquisitions subject to U.S. Bank's approval. Principal under
the acquisition revolver may be drawn and repaid at any
time. The acquisition revolver commitments decrease by $0.2
million on January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 of each year
beginning January 31, 2007 ($3.9 million available at July 31,
2008). Any outstanding balance in excess of the reduced
commitment amount is due on the day of each commitment
reduction. The SSV Facility contains certain restrictive
financial covenants, including the Consolidated Leverage Ratio and Minimum
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (each as defined in the underlying credit
agreement).
|
(c)
|
The
Company has outstanding $57.7 million of industrial development bonds
(collectively, the “Industrial Development Bonds”), of which $41.2 million
were issued by Eagle County, Colorado (the “Eagle County Bonds”) and
mature, subject to prior redemption, on August 1, 2019. These
bonds accrue interest at 6.95% per annum, with interest being payable
semi-annually on February 1 and August 1. The promissory note
with respect to the Eagle County Bonds between Eagle County and the
Company is collateralized by the Forest Service permits for Vail and
Beaver Creek. In addition, the Company has outstanding two
series of refunding bonds (collectively, the “Summit County
Bonds”). At July 31, 2008, the Series 1990 Sports Facilities
Refunding Revenue Bonds, issued by Summit County, Colorado, have an
aggregate outstanding principal amount of $15.0 million and bear interest
at 7.875%. On August 29, 2008 the borrowings under the Series
1990 Sports Facilities Refunding Revenue Bond was paid in
full. The Series 1991 Sports Facilities Refunding Revenue
Bonds, issued by Summit County, Colorado, have an aggregate outstanding
principal amount of $1.5 million maturing in the year ending July 31, 2011
and bear interest at 7.375%. The promissory note with respect
to the Summit County Bonds between Summit County and the Company is
pledged and endorsed to the Bank of New York as Trustee under the
Indenture of Trust underlying the Summit County Bonds. The
promissory note is also collateralized in accordance with a guaranty from
Ralston Purina Company (subsequently assumed by Vail Corp. to the Trustee
for the benefit of the registered owners of the
bonds).

The
Company has recorded for financial reporting purposes the outstanding debt
of four Employee Housing Entities (each an “Employee Housing Entity” and
collectively the “Employee Housing Entities”): Breckenridge Terrace,
Tarnes, BC Housing and Tenderfoot. The proceeds of the Employee
Housing Bonds were used to develop apartment complexes designated
primarily for use by the Company's seasonal employees at its mountain
resorts. The Employee Housing Bonds are variable rate,
interest-only instruments with interest rates tied to LIBOR plus 0% to
0.05% (2.46% to 2.51% at July 31, 2008). Interest on the
Employee Housing Bonds is paid monthly in arrears and the interest rate is
adjusted weekly. No principal payments are due on the Employee
Housing Bonds until maturity. Each Employee Housing Entity’s
bonds were issued in two series. The Series A bonds for each
Employee Housing Entity and the Series B bonds for Breckenridge Terrace,
BC Housing and Tenderfoot are backed by letters of credit issued under the
Credit Facility. The Series B bonds for Tarnes are backed by a
letter of credit issued by a bank, for which the assets of Tarnes serve as
collateral ($7.9 million at July 31, 2008). The table below
presents the principal amounts outstanding for the Employee Housing Bonds
as of July 31, 2008 and 2007 (in

In
March 2007, The Chalets at The Lodge at Vail, LLC (“Chalets”), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a construction loan
agreement (“Chalets Facility”) in the amount of up to $123.0 million with
Wells Fargo, as administrative agent, book manager, and joint lead
arranger, U.S. Bank as joint lead arranger and syndication agent, and the
lenders party thereto. Borrowings under the Chalets Facility
are non-revolving and must be used for the payment of certain costs
associated with the construction and development of The Lodge at Vail
Chalets, a residential development consisting of 13 luxury condominium
units, as well as a private mountain club, a spa, skier services building
and parking structure. Borrowings under the Chalets Facility
are due upon the earlier of either the closing of the condominium units
(of which the amount due is determined by the amount of proceeds received
upon closing) or the stated maturity date of September 1,
2009. Borrowings under the Chalets Facility are required to be
paid in full by Chalets prior to any distribution of funds from the
closings of the luxury condominium units to the
Company. Chalets has the option to extend the term of the
Chalets Facility for six months, subject to certain
requirements. Borrowings under the Chalets Facility bear
interest annually at the Chalets’ option, at the rate of (i)
LIBOR plus a margin of 1.35% (3.81% at July 31, 2008) or (ii) the greater
of (x) the administrative agent’s prime commercial lending rate (5.00% at
July 31, 2008) or (y) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on that day as
announced by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 0.5% (2.59% at
July 31, 2008). The Chalets Facility provides for affirmative
and negative covenants that restrict, among other things, Chalets’ ability
to dispose of assets, transfer or pledge its equity interest, incur
indebtedness and make investments or distributions. The Chalets
Facility contains non-recourse provisions to the Company with respect to
repayment, whereby under event of default, the lenders have recourse only
against Chalets’ assets ($191.4 million at July 31, 2008) and as provided
for below the lenders do not have recourse against assets held by the
Company or Vail Corp. All assets of Chalets are provided as
collateral under the Chalets Facility. At July 31, 2008,
borrowings under the Chalets Facility were $49.4 million. The
investment in the Chalet’s real estate development is recorded in real
estate held for sale and investment. Subsequent to July 31,
2008, the Company had net repayments under the Chalets Facility of $6.1
million.
|
(f)
|
The
Company has outstanding $390.0 million of Senior Subordinated Notes due
2014 (“6.75% Notes”) issued in January 2004. The 6.75% Notes
have a fixed annual interest rate of 6.75% with interest due semi-annually
on February 15 and August 15. The 6.75% Notes will mature
February 2014 and no principal payments are due to be paid until
maturity. The Company has certain early redemption options
under the terms of the 6.75% Notes. The premium for early
redemption of the 6.75% Notes ranges from 0% to 3.375%, depending on the
date of redemption beginning in February 2009. The 6.75% Notes
are subordinated to certain of the Company's debts, including the Credit
Facility. The Company's payment obligations under the 6.75%
Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by substantially all of the
Company's current and future domestic subsidiaries (see Note 19, Guarantor
Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries). The Indenture,
dated as of January 29, 2004 among the Company, the guarantors therein and
The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company N.A., as Trustee (the
“Indenture”) governing the 6.75% Notes contains restrictive covenants
which, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture) to (i) borrow money
or sell preferred stock, (ii) create liens, (iii) pay dividends on or
redeem or repurchase stock, (iv) make certain types of investments, (v)
sell stock in the Restricted Subsidiaries, (vi) create restrictions on the
ability of the Restricted Subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other
payments to the Company, (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates,
(viii) issue guarantees of debt and (ix) sell assets or merge with other
companies.
|
(g)
|
Other
obligations primarily consist of a $6.3 million note outstanding to the
Colorado Water Conservation Board, which matures in the year ending July
31, 2029, and capital leases totaling $0.7 million. Other
obligations, including the Colorado Water Conservation Board note and the
capital leases, bear interest at rates ranging from 3.5% to 6.0% and have
maturities ranging from the year ending July 31, 2009 to the year ending
July 31, 2029.
|
(h)
|
Current
maturities represent principal payments due in the next 12
months.

I
have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-K of Vail Resorts,
Inc.;
|
|
2.
|
Based
on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements
were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this
report;
|
|
3.
|
Based
on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information
included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the
registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this
report;
|
|
4.
|
The
registrant's other certifying officer and I are responsible for
establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal
control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:
|
|
a)
|
Designed
such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure
controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure
that material information relating to the registrant, including its
consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those
entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being
prepared;
|
|
b)
|
Designed
such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal
control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles;
|
|
c)
|
Evaluated
the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures
and presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of
the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period
covered by this report based on such evaluation; and
|
|
d)
|
Disclosed
in this report any change in the registrant's internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's most recent
fiscal quarter (the registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an
annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the registrant's internal control over financial
reporting; and
|
|
5.
|
The
registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our
most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to
the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the registrant's
board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent
functions):
|
|
a)
|
All
significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to record,
process, summarize and report financial information;
and
|
|
b)
|
Any
fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal control
over financial reporting.
