Ski season comes to a close at Mammoth Mountain
MONO COUNTY, Calif. - The spring skiing season is coming to a close at Mammoth Mountain in the Sierrea Nevada Mountains. This will be the last weekend for visitors to shred the slopes as the resort wraps up the season on Sunday, June 15, which is also Father's Day. We spoke with Mammoth Mountain's VP of marketing and sales, Joani Lynch. She says it's been a great winter and one of the longest seasons not only at Mammoth, but one of the longest seasons in the State of California. "Our summit is at 11,000 feet, so the snow that comes stays a little bit longer," said Lynch. "We always stay open through Memorial weekend, quite often 4th of July, and in our longest seasons, well into August. So this is above average season for us in terms of length and we've had really fun conditions." Lynch joined KTVU for a live interview from the slopes on Friday, where skiers could be seen enjoying some powder behind her. The resort has 10 runs in operation, but no beginner terrain. All the open slopes this weekend are for more experienced skiers and snowboarders. Three chairlifts are open with terrain from top to bottom. "It's not a great time to be coming up if you're a first timer," Lynch said. There are intermediate trails available and some advanced terrain to explore. The slopes open at 7:30 a.m. on Sunday and the last run is at 1 p.m. Donuts and coffee will be provided while it lasts in the morning, along with some promotional items, including the famous Mammoth beanie. "In the afternoon, we do a big celebration at the top of the mountain," Lynch said. "We take one final run down the hill together. It ends with a party down in town." Now Mammoth looks forward to some summer activities. Including mountain bike trails. She said there are plenty of other fun things to do in the Sierras this time of year, like going for a bike ride, and fishing or hiking at one of the mini-mountain lakes. So if you're up for one last weekend of skiing, all the mountain passes are open and Lynch said it should be an easy pass through from the Bay Area to Mammoth. Meanwhile, closer to Lake Tahoe, Sugar Bowl ski resort is undergoing renovations. At 86-years-old, it's one of the oldest ski resorts in the state. The resort is a go-to for many here in the Bay Area. The $100 million renovations begin this summer. The wooden sundeck at the Village Lodge will be replaced and the kitchen will be expanded to offer better food.

World Cup skiers promised at least 10% rise in race prize money next season
GENEVA — Prize money across all World Cup disciplines will increase by at least 10% next season, the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) said Friday. Superstars in Alpine skiing earn the most — Mikaela Shiffrin and Marco Odermatt each made a record $1 million in race prize money in the 2023 season — but top racers in ski cross and snowboard disciplines typically earn less than 100,000 Swiss francs ($123,000) for the winter.

Steyr Motors AG (ETR:4X0) Delivered A Better ROE Than Its Industry
One of the best investments we can make is in our own knowledge and skill set. With that in mind, this article will work through how we can use Return On Equity (ROE) to better understand a business. By way of learning-by-doing, we'll look at ROE to gain a better understanding of Steyr Motors AG (ETR:4X0). Return on Equity or ROE is a test of how effectively a company is growing its value and managing investors' money. In other words, it is a profitability ratio which measures the rate of return on the capital provided by the company's shareholders. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. ROE can be calculated by using the formula: Return on Equity = Net Profit (from continuing operations) ÷ Shareholders' Equity So, based on the above formula, the ROE for Steyr Motors is: 22% = €4.9m ÷ €22m (Based on the trailing twelve months to December 2024). The 'return' is the profit over the last twelve months. One way to conceptualize this is that for each €1 of shareholders' capital it has, the company made €0.22 in profit. Check out our latest analysis for Steyr Motors One simple way to determine if a company has a good return on equity is to compare it to the average for its industry. Importantly, this is far from a perfect measure, because companies differ significantly within the same industry classification. As is clear from the image below, Steyr Motors has a better ROE than the average (9.8%) in the Machinery industry. That's what we like to see. Bear in mind, a high ROE doesn't always mean superior financial performance. Aside from changes in net income, a high ROE can also be the outcome of high debt relative to equity, which indicates risk. To know the 3 risks we have identified for Steyr Motors visit our risks dashboard for free. Most companies need money -- from somewhere -- to grow their profits. The cash for investment can come from prior year profits (retained earnings), issuing new shares, or borrowing. In the case of the first and second options, the ROE will reflect this use of cash, for growth. In the latter case, the use of debt will improve the returns, but will not change the equity. That will make the ROE look better than if no debt was used. One positive for shareholders is that Steyr Motors does not have any net debt! Its high ROE indicates the business is high quality, but the fact that this was achieved without leverage is veritably impressive. At the end of the day, when a company has zero debt, it is in a better position to take future growth opportunities. Return on equity is a useful indicator of the ability of a business to generate profits and return them to shareholders. Companies that can achieve high returns on equity without too much debt are generally of good quality. If two companies have the same ROE, then I would generally prefer the one with less debt. But when a business is high quality, the market often bids it up to a price that reflects this. It is important to consider other factors, such as future profit growth -- and how much investment is required going forward.
