| Share Repurchase Program                         | Share Repurchase ProgramOn March 9, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program, authorizing the Company to repurchase up to 3,000,000 Vail Shares. On July 16, 2008, December 4, 2015 and March 7, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors increased the authorization by an additional 3,000,000, 1,500,000 and 2,500,000 Vail Shares, respectively, for a total authorization to repurchase up to 10,000,000 Vail Shares. The Company repurchased 1,777,730 Vail Shares during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023 (at a total cost of approximately $400.0 million, excluding accrued excise tax, as discussed further below). The Company repurchased 144,875 Vail Shares during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022 (at a total cost of approximately $37.5 million). Since inception of its share repurchase program through April 30, 2023, the Company has repurchased 8,243,438 Vail Shares for approximately $879.4 million. As of April 30, 2023, 1,756,562 Vail Shares remained available to repurchase under the existing share repurchase program, which has no expiration date. Vail Shares purchased pursuant to the repurchase program will be held as treasury shares and may be used for the issuance of Vail Shares under the Company’s employee share award plan.On August 16, 2022 the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which imposed a 1.0% excise tax on share repurchases (net of estimated share issuances) made after December 31, 2022. As a result, the Company accrued approximately $3.9 million of excise tax in connection with the share repurchases it completed during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023, which was recorded as an adjustment to the cost basis of repurchased shares in treasury stock and accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of April 30, 2023. |
