Vail will immediately commence a search for Aron's successor, which will include external and internal candidates. Aron said he will work closely with the company's board of directors to ensure a seamless transition during the five-month interim period and beyond.
"I have immensely enjoyed every minute of what will ultimately be my ten-year tenure as chairman and CEO of Vail Resorts," Aron said. "And I am grateful to the countless individuals who have been so kind to me along the way and so instrumental in Vail Resorts' success."
