Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted January 14, 2019 Report Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) My lack of interest in a vaca property at a place I can drive to in 90 min with so so skiing and no interesting activities most of the year has nothing to do with price - though now that you mention it, I expect they are asking a lot more than it would cost for a place in the Skills or SVt. If I bought a vaca property, I would want one that would enable me to enjoy higher quality activities than are available to me as convenient day trips from where I already own property. Same reason I would never consider getting a place at the Jersey shore - which is 45 min from my house. I already own property sufficiently close to both.

Shadows Posted January 14, 2019 Report Posted January 14, 2019 Guess the beagles will never be invited to play a wedding there. 1 Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted January 14, 2019 Report Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) Pretty sure that is up to the bride and groom, but it would have to be a pretty good paycheck to motivate the band to make a three hour round trip. We are doing a gig an hour away for $1200 though, so don't rule us out if you have the budget. Edited January 14, 2019 by Ski2Live Live2Ski Quote

I think most wedding bands are about $1,000 per person..if I got married and had a band I’d just want Ski2Live and the tall brunette..or could probably just hire Matt Edge to DJ for about tree fiddy Edited January 14, 2019 by GrilledSteezeSandwich 2 Quote

Expect we will give them the full hour, as once all set up we like to play. Edited January 14, 2019 by Ski2Live Live2Ski 1 Quote

Johnny Law Posted January 15, 2019 Report Posted January 15, 2019 I don't see there books so who knows but my best guess is she's leveraged out at like 75% of max revenue. You can see it in some of the things they do, gotta make those bank payments. If you can't lend anymore money you can't build condos or a hotel or whatever and while you can get a quick injection of cash your also increasing risk and daily costs. They are proceeding with caution when it comes to any thing grandiose which is a smart play, they put there money were it most counts, snowmaking. 2 Quote

For sure. It was part of their waterpark plan to build a NG power generation facility on site. Quote

Wow so you think blues outstanding debt equals 75% of its annual revenue? That’s insane. Quote

Who would want to have a wedding somewhere without accommodations. Crazy. Yes a hotel would definitely be the way to go. The hotel at Bear was booked solid every weekend during the winter and for weddings. There really isn’t anywhere to stay around Blue Quote

We aren’t in slower lower Delaware. A lot of weddings do have a bus that goes from the reception to the hotel my sisters did and multiple people puked in it. The deposit went up in smoke like dust in the wind. Can stay at the ramada inn in Whitehall. The hookers might be cheaper than the room. Edited January 16, 2019 by GrilledSteezeSandwich 1 Quote

My point is that shouldn’t make or break them using it as a wedding venue. However, I am sure that they would be able to sell hotel rooms in bunches if it ever got built. Quote

Schif Posted January 16, 2019 Report Posted January 16, 2019 If given the opportunity to pay a few extra bucks and stay on site for a wedding I'm doing it every time. Getting bused to and from a venue sucks. 4 Quote

Getting bused to and from a venue sucks. If they were somehow able to build their own little “village” with all the amenities they need, I’m sure they would do quite well. They could sell ski/water park packages, weddings, and have their own pretty decent restaurant. Nobody would need to leave unless they wanted to. I could see some people going to the casino, but who would go into the A? Quote

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 All this talk about needing to get bussed home from weddings at Blue or getting DUIs from folks who drink beers while skiing and in ski parking lots before getting in their cars 🙂 2 Quote

I’d say that 95% of the parking lot beer drinkers have 1-3 beers total..social drinking not getting wasted. 1 Quote

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 I see - skiing sober, not drinking more than 1 if any before driving home, and having no more than 2 or 3 at a wedding makes me the idiot. Quote
