KCSKI Posted March 27, 2013 Report Posted March 27, 2013 I apologize for my absence but all during the latter half of the bankruptcy with things in the air and a lot of uncertanty of what was taking place, even on a personal level, it was best to keep a low profile until things sorted out. I hope you understand. Anyway.....ahh hell..just read the article. http://thetimes-tribune.com/news/business/with-deal-in-principle-montage-mountain-makes-return-1.1464209 1 Quote
RidgeRacer Posted March 27, 2013 Report Posted March 27, 2013 Good stuff KC. glad the mountain's true name is back. Sno was stupid and childish. 1 Quote
moe ghoul Posted March 27, 2013 Report Posted March 27, 2013 Look for a flip in a few years after they put a spit shine on it. They're redevelopers, not ski hill operators. Still good news for those employed by the mountain and keeping the hill on a respirator for another season. Quote
Schif Posted March 27, 2013 Report Posted March 27, 2013 Glad to hear that someone bought the old girl, and hopefully we get back into the swing of things up there. I was just getting into the new name too! Damn these guys and their sensibility with renaming the place. Maybe if I'm lucky I can score some of the old Sno Mountain signs. Quote
Kyle Posted March 27, 2013 Report Posted March 27, 2013 Top to bottom high speed quad!!!! If you build it they will come!!! Wouldn't surprise me if they did that. Quote
JFskiDan Posted March 27, 2013 Report Posted March 27, 2013 Good news. Hope everything goes well. Quote
Schif Posted March 27, 2013 Report Posted March 27, 2013 Wouldn't surprise me if they did that. It would shock me. I can't imagine anyone making capital improvements in the place until it makes back the cash they already put into it so they know it's worth it. Quote

I can't imagine anyone making capital improvements in the place until it makes back the cash they already put into it so they know it's worth it. that's what i was thinking - but to get more people there (and more money) i think that is a vital improvement. plus, they would only have to staff like 2 lifts instead of the 6 that they normally have if they put in a top to bottom that is efficient. 1 Quote

Actually, for the most part this year, they only ran 3 lifts at any given time. The bunny, Iron Horse (servicing the top of the mountain on the Blues) and Phoebe Snow (Northface Lift) Quote
RidgeRacer Posted March 28, 2013 Report Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) I like the cougar in the photo meow No kidding. Dumb question...Why is it called Montage Mountain Resorts (plural)? Edited March 28, 2013 by Ridge Racer Quote
guitar73 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Posted March 28, 2013 this is good stuff! let's hope these new guys don't screw it up again.....scranton has a long-standing track record of suck. Quote

Johnny Law Posted March 28, 2013 Report Posted March 28, 2013 Look for a flip in a few years after they put a spit shine on it. They're redevelopers, not ski hill operators. Still good news for those employed by the mountain and keeping the hill on a respirator for another season. x2 Good news though, never want to see a ski hill go out for the count....well maybe Mt Creek or Huntah.... 1 Quote
guitar73 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Posted March 28, 2013 Biden is the only famous person I know of from Scranton. well, hilary clinton has family from scranton as well....but she's more infamous than famous 1 Quote

guitar73 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) aaaaaand end political jibber jabber. .....done. i wonder what will become of the moose? Edited March 28, 2013 by guitar73 Quote
toast21602 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Posted March 28, 2013 hopefully kill it, skin it, and sell the meat. Quote
Schif Posted March 28, 2013 Report Posted March 28, 2013 hopefully kill it, skin it, and sell the meat. Didn't they used to have a moose costume? Maybe I can pick that up for dirt cheap and have a sweet halloween outfit for next year Quote
moe ghoul Posted March 29, 2013 Report Posted March 29, 2013 Maybe they'll keep the Moose and add a cowbell around its neck. The place needs more cowbell. 1 Quote

GrommetRaceCoach Posted March 30, 2013 Report Posted March 30, 2013 Kc, give my best to the coaches there, great bunch of wing nuts! Glad to hear there is new life ! Quote
KCSKI Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Posted April 26, 2013 Ok...all the fallout seems to be over and things are moving forward...job fair for the Summer months at Johnny Rockets was a big success and the water park is set to open around Memorial Day. Since I'm not on the mountain too much this time of year I'll try to get updated info as thing progress..and..at this time I would ask the Moderator or administrator to pretty much after a few days here wipe this whole Sno Mountain folder out and give us a new "Montage Mountain" Folder and heading so we can start fresh and discard the old baggage. 1 Quote
