         (b) The definition of "Unrestricted Subsidiary" is hereby amended to
     delete the references to "Vail Associates Investments, Inc." and "Vail
     Resorts Holdings, Inc. (f/k/a VREJV, Inc.)", which are hereby designated by
     Borrower as Restricted Subsidiaries, so that such definition shall read in

         corporation, limited liability company or other entity) (a) which does
         not own any Forest Service Permit or the stock of any Restricted
         Company or any of the assets described on Schedule 2, (b) which has
         (and whose other partners, joint venturers, members or shareholders
         have) no Debt or other material obligation which is recourse to any

         than with respect to limited guarantees or other recourse agreements of
         the Companies which are permitted to be incurred hereunder within the
         $100,000,000 of recourse Debt allowed under clause (f) of the
         definition of "Permitted Debt"), and (c) which has been designated by
         Borrower as an Unrestricted Subsidiary by notice to Agent. Subject to
         Section 14.10(b)(v), Agent shall execute documentation reasonably
         required to release any Restricted Subsidiary which is redesignated by
         Borrower as an Unrestricted Subsidiary from its Guaranty.

     2.  Compliance Certificate.  Exhibit D of the Credit Agreement is hereby
deleted and replaced in its entirety by Exhibit D attached to this Amendment.

     5.   Representations and Warranties.  Each Restricted Company represents
and warrants to Lenders that it possesses all requisite power and authority to
execute, deliver and comply with the terms of this Amendment, which has been
duly authorized and approved by all requisite corporate action on the part of
each Restricted Company, for which no consent of any Person is required, and
which will not violate their respective organizational documents, and agree to
furnish Agent with evidence of such authorization and approval upon request.
Each Restricted Company further represents and warrants to Lenders that (a) the
representations and warranties in each Loan Paper to which it is a party are
true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of this
Amendment as though made on the date of this Amendment (except to the extent
that (i) such representations and warranties speak to a specific date or (ii)
the facts on which such representations and warranties are based have been
changed by transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement), (b) it is in full
compliance with all covenants and agreements contained in each Loan Paper to
which it is a party, and (c) no Default or Potential Default has occurred and is
continuing.

     6.   Miscellaneous.  This Amendment is a Loan Paper and is subject to the
applicable provisions of Section 14 of the Credit Agreement, each of which is
incorporated into this Amendment by this reference.  Except as affected by this
Amendment, the Loan Papers are unchanged and continue in full force and effect.
However, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the Credit
Agreement as hereby amended and any other Loan Paper, the terms of the Credit
Agreement shall control and such other document shall be deemed to be amended
hereby to conform to the terms of the Credit Agreement.  All references to the
Credit Agreement shall refer to the Credit Agreement as amended by this
Amendment.  Each Restricted Company agrees that all Loan Papers to which it is a
party remain in full force and effect and continue to evidence its legal, valid
and binding obligations enforceable in accordance with their terms (as the same
are affected by this Amendment).  Each Restricted Company hereby releases Agent
and Lenders from any liability for actions or failures to act in connection with
the Loan Papers prior to the date hereof.  This Amendment shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of each of the undersigned and their respective
successors and permitted assigns.

     7.   No Waiver of Defaults.  This instrument does not constitute a waiver
of, or a consent to any present or future violation of or default under, any
provision of the Loan Papers, or a waiver of Lenders' right to insist upon
future compliance with each term, covenant, condition and provision of the Loan
Papers, and the Loan Papers shall continue to be binding upon, and inure to the
benefit of, the Restricted Companies, Agent and Lenders and their respective
successors and assigns.

     8.   Form.  Each agreement, document, instrument or other writing to be
furnished Agent or Lenders under any provision of this instrument must be in
form and substance satisfactory to Agent and its counsel.

     9.   Multiple Counterparts.  This instrument may be executed in more than
one counterpart, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which
constitute, collectively, one instrument; but, in making proof of this
instrument, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one
such counterpart.  It shall not be necessary for each Restricted Company, Agent
and all Lenders to execute the same counterpart hereof so long as each
Restricted Company, Agent and each Lender execute a counterpart hereof.

     10.  Entirety.  The Loan Papers Represent the Final Agreement Between
Borrower, Agent and Lenders and May Not Be Contradicted by Evidence of Prior,
Contemporaneous, or Subsequent Oral Agreements by the Parties.  There Are No
Unwritten Oral Agreements among the Parties.
