Peak Resorts Inc. said it will buy Catskills ski resort Hunter Mountain in a deal valued at $36.8 million, the company said Monday.

The deal, expected to close by the end of the year, adds to Peak Resorts' portfolio of properties for overnight and day-drive visitors. Peak said it would pay $35 million in cash and assume two capital leases estimated at about $1.8 million.

The Missouri company expects the acquisition to add to a measure of adjusted profit by the third quarter of fiscal 2016.

Hunter Mountain has a summit elevation of 3,200 feet with a vertical drop of 1,600 feet. It has 240 skiable acres with 58 trails and 12 lifts.

Shares, which fell by a penny to $7.30 on Monday, were inactive after hours.
