I agree with that. They have no BS to feed us so they put a gag on everyone.

KC seems to only pop up when things are good. I guess the Scranton paper wasnt that bad of reporting after all

I think it will be kind of sad if the same partners get the mountain back somehow unless they pay off all their debt. Maybe thats what KC meant in an earlier thread that bankruptcy is actually a good thing. If they have as much money as they bid why can't they pay their bills. Sounds kind of fishey to me. Just venting since many people that they did business with will likely get screwed out of money and then they bid under a new name. Just seems wrong to me.

KC, I have some friends that like to get together for Presidents Weekend and they usually pick Sno due to the tourch parade and fireworks. Is this going on again this year? They are kind of 1 or 2 runs and sit in the bar type of skiers.

I kind of like the Montage Mountain Resort name.

Typical Sno Mountain stretching the truth. You would think most of the mountain would be open instead of what they are calling 8 slopes. Needing more time to get connection, Nordic, Baby Moose, the two bunny hils cannonball,bomer and whistler is a joke with how they have bragged about their snowmaking ability. If you think about it the real reason is they probably didn't want to chance opening the day of a storm with the unknown of people being able to get there. In reality that was probably a smart decision with the financial issues. But don't make up BS just to make it sound good. In KC's defense he is only relaying what he is told. I know how the main people only tell the management team certain things.

Being that they were actually on the Sheriff sale list I don't think they ate their words. I think Sno just came in under the gun with some new financing. Just like when the power was shut off and their was no phone service last fall. They didn't make up the stories these things are actually happening. I really do hope they get it right this time.

Sno suspended direct deposit when this was happening. I got it to prevent this and all of a sudden it stopped. My supervisor told me they don't offer it anymore. I don't know if they brought it back or not. I would assume that this was a cause and effect type of deal but not positive.

Sno has bounced my checks that I have taken to my bank to cash. How is Sno bouncing a check the employees fault? Either the check clears or it does not. If they needed ID to cash it and didn't have it they would just tell they they can't cash it for them reasons not bounce the check.

I would like to say good job with the tourchlight parade and the amazing fireworks display!

I am hearing that Dennis Carlson is out at Sno. I will try to get more info and see if there is any truth to it.

You never know about the investor. They had one step in a few years ago when the concession company from the stadium (CPI) stepped in and bought into Sno. That was around when they were bouncing many of the payroll checks. I think it will be much tougher to get one this time though with the word out that they are having the troubles that they are. I hope something good happens. Would hate to see the mountain just sit there. Not only from the skiing and boarding side of things, but the seasonal jobs they provide. They might not pay the best but it is nice seasonal part time work for many.

Thanks KC, I was just trying to give some different possibilities out there. Not trying to bash the mountain.

I never said I am upset. All I said is a possible reason that the lift is closed is not enough staff. I also said it is expensive to run. So I agree it shoulkd be closed when the mountain is not busy.

So Santa people not showing up for work is not a staffing issue. Wake up thats a huge staffing issue. Trust me I know what I am talking about. As far as montage I was just saying that before the place was ran into the ground they had people there like it or not. When I say the place was ran into the ground I do mean by Lackawanna county and not by Sno when they took it over.

If the barrels are still on the lift then they have a problem of some sort. I do know for a fact that in years past they have always had staffing issues with all lifts. Espically later in the season and long haul was always the last concern.

And thanks for you Opinion also.

That lift does not run due to the expense of running it and getting the extra people to staff it. Look at the past history of that lift all the way to the montage days. You can say its not running for saftey but they are feeding you a bunch of BS if thats what they are telling you. Thats why in the past they would on;y run it on holiday weekends. Now it is not even close to busy enough to run it. Before the county ran Montage into the ground the place used to be packed with long lift lines to back it up.

Well hopefully they have a great winter and find a way to get out of this mess. It sounds like they have alot of great ideas but have to have patience instead of throwing money in too many different directions.

This was just in the paper My link Company files $846,206 mechanics lien against Sn

Place looks nice but for the price I will travel the extra half hour and go to a better water park such as Camelbeach. Place has potential but for now not much to offer at premium prices. They have racer slides, lazy river, wave pool, tornado and old crappy slide. Not sure if the bumper boats are included or cost extra. However don't really want to take the ride to the bottom of North Face to go on bumper boats.

Fireworks were great. Last yearwas good but these were much better
