FRISCO \u2014 As part of what Vail Resorts calls an \u201ceffort to centralize corporate functions,\u201d the major ski industry company has made its third round of companywide layoffs this year, affecting the mountain communities in which the company operates.<\/p>\n

The finance teams in these mountain communities \u2014 including at Keystone Resort and Breckenridge Ski Resort \u2014 have gotten notice that they\u2019ll be laid off in the spring. The announcement follows the company\u2019s marketing and human resources layoffs earlier this year, with the goal of relocating these teams to the corporate headquarter offices in Broomfield.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe organizational changes announced within the Vail Resorts finance function are part of our company\u2019s concerted effort to centralize corporate functions in order to best support our growing business now composed of 37 resorts around the globe,\u201d Vail Resorts officials wrote in a statement.<\/p>\n

The company stated that while affected employees are able to reapply for a new job in Broomfield, they were not offered direct transfers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe understand that change can be hard for those involved, and we are committed to supporting our employees through this transition,\u201d the statement read. \u201cImpacted employees are eligible to apply for open finance positions located in our corporate offices or other opportunities within our resort operations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Affected employees also were offered a severance package. Vail Resorts stated that the company has added more than 50 finance roles at the corporate headquarters.<\/p>\n

The general sentiment among employees, who spoke with the Summit Daily News off the record, is that morale is low in the mountain communities as the multiple rounds of layoffs in 2019 have been a tough pill to swallow. Those who live in the mountains now must decide whether they want to stay where they are and look for a new job or attempt to reapply for a job in the Broomfield office.<\/p>\n
