Vail Resorts is now facing a third class-action lawsuit tied to its ski pass pricing practices, and for the first time, the plaintiff isn\u2019t a skier \u2014 it\u2019s a shareholder. <\/strong>Gary Peterson, a Vail Resorts investor, filed a securities class action against the company and its board of directors this week, alleging that the same alleged price-fixing scheme at the center of two separate antitrust lawsuits also amounts to a breach of the board\u2019s duties to shareholders \u2014 and that Vail misled investors about it.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThese wrongs resulted in significant damages to Vail\u2019s reputation, goodwill, and standing in the business community, as well as exposing the company to two federal antitrust class actions seeking treble damages and structural relief,\u201d Peterson says in the 55-page complaint.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As with the underlying antitrust claims it builds on, these allegations have not been tested or proven in court.<\/strong><\/p>\n
