yes

you beat me to it.

jeeeez, ru related to doug?

BB on Friday We will probably do Bell on Sunday too, any chance hunter is open sunday? If they are I have vouchers i need ot use before xmas/

Guess work.... Sno knows what they are doing. They should be able to figure out what is the best scenario. Slope side residences is one route that would make sense if they have great ticket sales over the next few years. Anything over 20% is typically prohibited slopes in PA. There are so many factors. Feasibility depends on what the market can bear. I don't know the median house price in that area or the major businesses that support the economy there. I also don't know the other typical demographics in that area that well to make an educated guess on what makes sense 5, 10, 20 years from now. The US population went from 200 to 300 million recently, it is expected to take half the amount of time to reach 400 million. That is a prime location due to the interstates. There are a ton of pros going for that location and few cons in my eyes.

The long range forecast look to be predicting a continuation of the same. (cold and wet over the norms)

naaaa Both of those long range reports are similar.

Mental note. Need to keep an eye on WV, VA and NC.

word........ It pisses me off to no end on why they won't answer some basic questions.... You should hear the way the park crew laments on how they wish that CB would send them to Cutters Camp.. Remember last year and the winch groomer? Did ANYONE. actually see that machine hooked up? It's a shame, they have so much potential.

WOW WOW WOW... Finally, someone else knows the things I know ........ LOL!! FIRST AND FOREMOST I HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO SKI THERE, BUT LET"S BE REALISTIC![/size] Bla bla bla..... There is not an influencial successful business man anywhere that doesn't flirt with the edge of disaster. He wasn't convicted, but I bet he was scared crapless. It's all about who can afford the fanciest lawyers or who can continue to buy influence. Google his name, hell the FBI recordings are available to the public. Influence peddling is an every day thing. no biggie.. HEY! I called it first. Honestly, I think this guy bought it for his love of skiing first, but secondly he is smart, he bought knowing that he can get out in a few years and still make a profit on his deal. Wouldn't surprise me one bit at some point that is exactly what happens. Whether he builds or he parcels off areas to a developer or he sells the whole project. Remember, this group has the whereforall to invest a million in just feasibility. They certainly can start the subdivision process an increase the net worth of the land at any time they want. Donating millions for parks, lodges, sewer treatment plants, snow guns, roads etc etc is par for the course in the developing business. I feel strongly that for the long term of Montage Ski Area that selling it to snow time would have been in it's best interest of it remaining a ski resort. I believe that first, I also believe as mentioned above that if it doesn't cash flow he will start the sub-division process. Geographically that is prime real estate. It is money in the bank as developable land. To continue to operate that 400 acres as a profitable ski resort is rediculously risky and really ballsy at best. HAHHHAHAHAHAHAHA - you should see the 5 million cubic yards of rock that we are currently moving. sure there are steep slopes, but the top of that hill is prime. That ground, at the cross roads of 2 interstates is gold for 50k per acre was a great investment, especially since ticket sales will probably cover the note for the ski improvements. IT's not like it is non-income producing raw ground.

ah bleh.... whats the point in keeping it secret I heard you guys were targeting 12/15 not a day earlier

Get those!!!!!!! That is a sick ski. It is a pro model... The Metrons are way too "turny" for an intermediate and they will suck in the park. It's a fun ski, but you have to pay attention to them or they will sling you.

if you are a true park rat then go with 42"

I really want BB to open and have the premeire. No promises on Friday at Bell - saturday for sure. besides it's looking like rain for friday..

Trade tit for tat. in other words there is probably something he wants to do that you are not keen on. I would take western trips and the wife would take carribean trips in the winter. news to me, I still may have to work some on Friday?

It was someones joke.....

It may get down into the low twenties over the next few nights.

One more question. Is the off peak pass the same price for juniors and adults? How many times do you have to visit to pay for the off peak pass?

Why Atomic or Nordica? Are you looking for primarily all mountain with some park? Do you race? How important is that? What height and weight are you? Do you go west to ski at all? Do they have to be new equipment?

Congrats Trev! Props to Chris for getting the program started. Here is to your success!
