SAM Magazine—Broomfield, Colo., April 4, 2025—Vail Resorts filed a notice with the state of Colorado Tuesday that it is closing its HR Shared Services unit in Broomfield. The closure will eliminate 64 jobs as part of the company’s two-year Resource Efficiency Transformation Plan to improve organizational effectiveness in anticipation of another growth phase.

The HR Shared Services unit is expected to close permanently, with layoffs beginning June 2. The impacted jobs are all human resources roles.

Vail Resorts shared the efficiency plan on a September 2024 investor call. It aims to save Vail Resorts $100 million over the next two years and will reduce the company’s overall workforce by 2 percent, with a 14 percent reduction in the corporate workforce and a 1 percent reduction in the operational workforce.

The closure of the HR unit appears in line with stated plans to consolidate and outsource internal business services (such payroll support, accounts payable and receivable, IT service center) and call centers to global shared services.

The layoffs come two years after Vail Resorts raised wages, particularly for seasonal and hourly employees, by $175 million a year.
