Term policies pay benefits if you die during the period covered by the policy; but they do not build cash value.

Vail now owns Heavenly, Northstar, and Kirkwood in the Lake Tahoe area. Vail only purchased the ski resort not all the condos and such down valley. But, there is a lot of undeveloped land around that base area that weâre sure Vail will figure out how to develop big.
