The resort essentially loses 'clicks' and 'eyevballs' and drive less traffic to their Web site by having an ineffective and uninformative Snow Report. The marketing buzz from the World Cup loses impact with a stupid...

Yeah, we also received that email but the link to the explanation of the merger did not work. Does anyone have details? Did the Torrey family sell? Is the shop now controlled by a Stowe business?
