trackbiker Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 KSL is a property management company. They sometimes buy resorts and lease them back to the previous owners to operate. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. It's a way for owners to get money out and still control the business. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast21602 Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 While I was cutting grass this afternoon I saw smoke signals coming from over the mountain which is typical tribal communication of a territory change. I'd say that confirms it. 1 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mute1080 Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 Blue employees had their interview with KSL management for their jobs this week. I heard Barb is staying on for 5 years and no real changes this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 I figured Barb would want to retire but I’m guessing she’s also a workaholic. Running a big operation like a ski resort I don’t think you can get by on 40 hours a week unless you do a lot of delegating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRacer Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 I'm sure it would be tough for her to just walk away given that it's basically the family business. Her dad I'm sure put a lot of blood sweat and tears into the place 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said Blue is under new management. So, did they buy it? 100%? Or did Barb hold the land, and they are truly just managing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression they liked to buy stuff, but their website says “property management”, so i think what you got from your smoke signals is probably correct. Should be another interesting year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRacer Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Wtf does this mean? Camelback has no business being in the same sentence with blue. “KSL Resorts is excited to manage Blue Mountain Resort as it’s located in one of the Poconos’ most spectacular settings and is the ideal complement to Camelback’s numerous indoor and outdoor adventures – especially with its close proximity," Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRacer Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) Eyeliner complements ones eyes. Posters complement your man cave. Rims complement your car. Tight jeans compliment my ass. Blue mountain doesn't complement camelback. Blue mountain makes camelback feel like I'm skiing on a septic mound.

C1erArt Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Gaack. Might need KSL’s lodging experience to build their hotel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdBacon Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 I've honestly never had a problem with Camelback. I mean, Camelback mountain, the physical mountain itself. It's not a bad little hill. It's everything else I don't like. I guess Barley Creek Brewing is ok. Last time I was there though they didn't toast the bun on my hamburger.

I was with Dime and justo was also there. probably the last time i was there as well. it was cool when they were still doing ski movie premiers there, but their beer list hadn't changed in like 5+ years as of the last i was there. food was standard brew pub stuff, nothing was bad, but nothing was really good or exciting either. can someone buy BMDI and turn it into a B&B? by that i mean bed & brewery. place would make an absolute killing during the winter, and probably be good enough to survive during the summer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benm Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 wrote barley creek off when they went curbside only and didn't offer the fried cheese curds. taco place across the street (or something like that) is pretty good. can also pick up ski gear right next door if you're in the mood for new stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
