BARRY RITHOLTZ, HOST, MASTERS IN BUSINESS: This week on the podcast, I have an extra, extra special guest. What can I say? Ron Baron, founder of Baron Capital, he’s a legend, I don’t even know where to begin with this guy. He founded Baron Capital in 1982, he performance numbers he’s put up have just been obscene. Everything he does, he seems to find his way to just spectacular returns whether it’s public companies, or private companies, or real estate, just Google search him on East Hampton and the property he bought for $100 million in the midst of the financial real estate collapse in 2007, he turned that into gold.

The pandemic may have shut down ski lifts last March, but it hasn’t stopped the new ski season from coming. Vail Mountain kicked off its opening day last month, as eager skiers and riders masked up and social-distanced their way down the slopes.
The Colorado mountain is among the roughly three-dozen resorts and ski areas operated by
Vail Resorts (ticker: MTN). The company says that in addition to Vail, it has opened most of its U.S. resorts, including other Colorado destination spots like Keystone and Breckenridge. East Coast resorts, such as Stowe and Okemo in Vermont and Hunter Mountain in New York, are open too.
