"Our spring results were stronger than we expected," said CEO Rob Katz. "And our growth rates finished higher than our previously released metrics from early March...With the strong performance of our Colorado resorts, we expect that our resort reported EBITDA for fiscal 2014 will finish high above the high end of our guidance range issued March 12, 2014. "We are pleased with the early results in our spring season pass sales for the 2014-2015 ski season, particularly given last spring's record results and the challenges experienced in Tahoe this season," he added.
