'We have 10 women running resorts, which is basically one-quarter of our resorts. It was not this way five years ago. It certainly was not this way 10 years ago.'

Vail Resorts officials credit former chief executive Rob Katz, who was Lynch’s predecessor, with pushing gender equity at the company. In addition to Vail and Beaver Creek, women run Vail Resorts mountains in Breckenridge and Crested Butte .

“Research shows that the more diversity you have in leadership positions — not just female, but racial diversity as well — ultimately the better decisions organizations make,” said Goldschmidt, who is British. “Sports, in general, have not been the most diverse workplaces, gender and otherwise, and I think it’s really positive that that’s beginning to change.

“I got courage enough to articulate that I aspired to lead a resort one day and asked what would that take for me to ever be considered, because I was in a pretty specialized arena for many years,” Howard said. “Our company is incredible with leadership development programs, so I was put into a program with a mentor.”

Guerriero has a 13-year-old daughter and says, “Things look different in my house than they do in a traditional household. I have a ton of support from my husband. I think some of those barriers still exist, but they will forever. It’s about how you’re able to work it out, and in some respects, what sacrifices you’re willing to make. That’s the beauty of having more women in leadership. We can consciously break down the barriers for other women.
