Vail Resorts

A Multi-Year Technology Partnership

Challenge

Vail Resorts needed reliable engineering expertise to help build and scale guest-facing digital experiences across multiple platforms and resort brands—starting with the launch of the EpicMix platform.

Solution

Over a multi-year engagement, Mapleton Hill provided full-stack engineering and Sitecore CMS development across web and mobile experiences, including EpicMix, EpicMix Photo, EpicMix Racing, and a suite of resort websites and internal tools.

Results

Our long-term collaboration supported Vail Resorts in delivering innovative, integrated digital products that enhanced the guest experience, increased operational efficiency, and strengthened their position as a technology leader in the ski industry.

From EpicMix to Enterprise-Scale Innovation

Vail Resorts first partnered with Mapleton Hill during the early development of EpicMix, a groundbreaking platform that transformed how guests engaged with on-mountain experiences. Our full-stack engineering team played a key role in helping Vail bring EpicMix to life, contributing to core features that allowed skiers and riders to track performance, view stats, and capture memories.

Following the success of EpicMix, we continued to support Vail in expanding the platform with initiatives like EpicMix Photo and EpicMix Racing—each bringing new features to enhance the guest experience and further differentiate Vail Resorts in the industry.

Extending the Digital Ecosystem

As the relationship grew, Mapleton Hill’s role expanded to support a broader range of initiatives, including custom web and mobile application development and Sitecore CMS engineering for Vail’s network of resort websites. We worked alongside internal teams to build scalable, modular content structures that allowed each resort brand to maintain a unique identity while benefiting from shared tools and infrastructure.

This included enhancements to guest portals, ticketing experiences, real-time data integrations, and marketing systems—all built to support seasonal demands, cross-channel consistency, and long-term sustainability.

A Scalable, Cross-Channel Foundation

Our work helped Vail Resorts evolve its digital stack across platforms—supporting everything from guest-facing apps to operational tools and marketing systems. By combining deep technical experience, system-level thinking, and collaborative delivery, we helped establish a more scalable, flexible foundation that could grow alongside Vail’s business and its expanding portfolio of resort properties.

A Lasting Partnership

From a single initiative to a broad portfolio of work, our partnership with Vail Resorts is a testament to what long-term collaboration can accomplish. Together, we’ve launched innovative guest experiences, modernized content systems, and delivered custom applications that support one of the most iconic brands in the outdoor industry.
