Payments for Repurchase of Equity [Abstract]
Stock Repurchase Plan	Share Repurchase Program On March 9, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program, authorizing the Company to repurchase up to 3,000,000 Vail Shares. On July 16, 2008, December 4, 2015 and March 7, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors increased the authorization by an additional 3,000,000, 1,500,000 and 2,500,000 Vail Shares, respectively, for a total authorization to repurchase up to 10,000,000 Vail Shares. During the years ended July 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company repurchased 721,378, 2,182,594 and 304,567 Vail Shares, respectively (at a total cost of $150.0 million, $500.0 million and $75.0 million, respectively, excluding accrued excise tax, as discussed further below). Since inception of this stock repurchase program through July 31, 2024, the Company has repurchased 9,369,680 shares at a cost of approximately $1,129.4 million. As of July 31, 2024, 630,320 Vail Shares remained available to repurchase under the existing share repurchase program. On September 25, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of shares authorized to be repurchased under the share repurchase program by an additional 1,100,000 Vail Shares. As a result, 1,730,320 Vail Shares are available to repurchase under the share repurchase program, which has no expiration date. Vail Shares purchased pursuant to the repurchase program will be held as treasury shares and may be used for issuance under the Company’s employee share award plan. On August 16, 2022 the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which imposed a 1.0% excise tax on share repurchases (net of estimated share issuances) made after December 31, 2022. As a result, the Company accrued approximately $1.4 million and $4.9 million of excise tax in connection with the share repurchases it completed during the years ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, which was recorded as an adjustment to the cost basis of repurchased shares in treasury stock and accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of July 31, 2024 and 2023.
