DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES
 
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 Registration Statement relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-111020) (the “Registration Statement”) of Vail Resorts, Inc. (the “Company”) pertaining to 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and became effective on December 8, 2003.  The Registration Statement registered 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock for sale pursuant to the Company’s 2002 Long Term Incentive and Share Award Plan (the “Old Share Award Plan”).
 
On January 4, 2007, the Company’s shareholders adopted the Company’s Amended and Restated 2002 Long Term Incentive and Share Award Plan (the “New Share Award Plan”) to, among other things, increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance from 2,500,000 to 5,000,000 shares.
 
As a result of the shareholder approval of the New Share Award Plan, the offering of unsold securities pursuant to the Registration Statement has been terminated and Common Stock issuable pursuant to the New Share Award Plan, which includes shares of Common Stock reserved for future share based awards and each outstanding, unexercised and unexpired share based award issued under the Old Share Award Plan as of September 7, 2007, will be registered with the Commission on a new registration statement filed on Form S-8.
 
In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes 1,114,765 shares of Common Stock from registration under the Registration Statement, which includes shares of Common Stock reserved for future share based award grants and each outstanding, unexercised and unexpired share based award issued under the Old Share Award Plan as of September 7, 2007.
