Vail, a Broomfield, Colo., ski-resort operator, said the acquisition of Wildwood, Mo.-based Peak will add 17 U.S. ski areas to its network.
Vail said it will finance the transaction,, which it expects to complete this fall, with cash on hand, its existing revolver facility and an expansion of its existing credit facility.
Vail said it will also assume or refinance Peak's debt.
Trading in Peak shares was halted premarket on Monday, while shares of Vail, which closed Friday at $225.71, were unchanged.
