Vail Resorts gained a major boost in its boardroom battle after longtime top shareholder Baron Capital, which owns approximately 18%, pledged to support management and CEO Rob Katz while opposing all four nominees proposed by activist investor Oasis Management, which holds roughly 9%.
Oasis, led by Seth Fischer, is seeking board changes to improve customer experience, pricing discipline and asset monetization. Its slate includes former Disney CEO Robert Chapek. Vail’s board argues the nominees lack public-company operating experience and could disrupt ongoing restructuring efforts, while questioning Chapek’s governance record.
The dispute also includes allegations of coordination between Oasis and Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince, who previously expressed interest in acquiring Park City Mountain. Both Prince and Oasis denied improper coordination. Oasis accused management of using misleading allegations to distract from years of operational underperformance.
