Vail operates nine mountain resorts and two ski areas in the U.S. and Australia, making Whistler Blackcomb its first foray into Canada. Two years ago, Vail bought Utah's Park City Mountain Resort for US$182.5 million and merged it with a neighbouring resort. Markets responded extremely well to news of the most recent deal, as Whistler Blackcomb's stock shot up more than 45 per cent by closing on Monday.
1 The iron found in lamb meat and other red meat is in a form that is easily absorbed by the body. The inclusion of iron in the diet is vital in the formation of red blood cells.  Lamb meat provides 45 per cent of the daily requirement of zinc, essential for growth, healing and a healthy immune system.
In general, red meats (beef, pork and lamb) have more cholesterol and saturated (bad) fat than chicken, fish and vegetable proteins such as beans. Cholesterol and saturated fat can raise your blood cholesterol and make heart disease worse. Chicken and fish have less saturated fat than most red meat. The unsaturated fats in fish, such as salmon, actually have health benefits. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish and some plant sources, may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Beans donât contain cholesterol, only animal products do.
