Peace Park gone, I skinned up there today.

They made snow there for multiple weeks plus all of the grooming effort... I'm sure it doesn't make sense to operate that pod independently if Caper isn't open, but that seems like a waste.

the Powder Bean Counters said stop the bleeding. It sucks, but that is the only reasonable answer.

wow that's getting after it for just 3 days of construction...

yeah give the K1 a break. you can still get over to SkyePeak via the top of the C4. If they are having any slopes open on the backside of Skye.

It wouldn't suck if Killington actually got the Steamboat or Deer Valley treatment from a lift perspective.

well that's something I never thought of... Hard to think they make enough $$$ to run 2 gondolas and 2 lifts. but maybe they do.

You are correct though, they could collapse the bike park to operate off of skyeship only once things start happening in the basin.

even if making snow or getting natural snow to the base of skyeship becomes unviable in the future a gonodola could be used to shuttle people to and from Needles. This is the exact setup that Breck and Telluride have. It needs to be remain a gondola and it should be refurbed/retrofitted now.

ok Wasn't sure if they had got into the "ownership" game or were just private management as you stated.

How many units does VACASA own in MG? Seems like a lot and will probably become more.

the thing is 30 years old this year. The bear minimum at this point IS an overhaul. Didn't have any major stoppages while I was there this year but I also didn't ride it all that often.

yeah Boyne is killing it corporate wide. Powder would never let Snowbird or Copper look like that either...

wow I've got to be honest can't believe he'd put that in an email. And surprised he doubled down on it... Clearly he's frustrated and maybe he's just trying to protect his team. They MAY be doing the best they can with a "shoestring budget"... Its been a challenging season everywhere and t...

Really he said "go ski somewhere else?"

That's "Really" as in surprised not sarcasm.

That sucks Licensed plumber doesn't bother me as much as "certified by MG". WTF kind of certification process did they do?

That's crazy...

I had a new water heater for my house installed for $1100 nearly 2 years ago. Yes there are some extras, but that's just a silly cost...
