GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted September 25, 2018 Report Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) 7 minutes ago, Ride Delaware ? said: Has there been any movement this year on the hotel or water park? Are these dead in the water, or still moving through regulatory agencies? The water park up top makes perfect sense due to the view. Why not scale back the hotel at the top and move it back a little from the AT and then build a larger hotel at the base where it’s flat and has less issues? They have no interest in building a hotel at the base...they want it next to the main lodge so guests can have easy access to the Slopeside grill and bar and have mountaintop views. Nothing has been done to the waterpark since about 5 years ago when they cleared out the land and made a few small parking areas. Last I heard the Appalachian trail club and the Sierra club were fighting the new hotel/condos as it’s fairly close to the Appalachian trail. I’m still waiting for pricing which was supposed to be released December of 2015. New page: Boner City Edited September 25, 2018 by GrilledSteezeSandwich Quote

They would keep the real resorts like Attitash, Wildcat, Mount Snow, and Hunter. They would probably spin the PA mountains off into a different company and sell it. Naa, Vail has a vested interest in buying up feeder resorts near population centers and using them to leverage customers to their larger resorts. They are already doing this with wilmot and afton alps in WI and MN. By the way, peak is in fact a publically traded company, they trade under the ticker symbol SKIS. 1 1 Quote

Ride Delaware ? Posted September 25, 2018 Report Posted September 25, 2018 They would be running a spur line off the pipeline so Blue could build a power plant to feed the hot springs spa and the hotel/other improvements. That’s what the last article I read said at least. 1 Quote
indiggio Posted September 25, 2018 Report Posted September 25, 2018 I had heard the hotel/condos were dependent upon the pipeline going through. http://www.wfmz.com/news/poconos-coal/penneast-pipeline-would-fuel-blue-mountain-expansion/511571025 Quote

Why, or how he knew that was a mystery me, being as he isnt a Blue groupie, big skier, etc. It was the same as if Doug was to turn to you and give you a real good home maintenance tip. 2 Quote

When i was still at Frost, i rode the lift with a guy who was way smarter than i. We had a conversation about them going public. He felt that paying a dividend on stocks was cheaper than any loan would cost. Easy way to get money to buy stuff, and pay out less than the interest on a loan. kinda makes sense. Quote
EdBacon Posted November 11, 2018 Report Posted November 11, 2018 Guns on at BB overnight. Just looks like they blew on Freedom and maybe the neighboring green. Quote

It is supposed to rain, but I don’t expect them to lose too much. Both rainstorms this week should be cold rains. I still expect them to open this weekend at some point. They’ve always been pretty aggressive. Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted November 14, 2018 Report Posted November 14, 2018 It looks just like Freedom is getting the treatment. I know they have the capacity to blow more than just Freedom. I wonder why they are holding off? Quote
