Not to be a K apologist, but the condition report and trail/lift status must be a pain in the ass to maintain. 22 lifts and 150 trails is a lot to keep track of (esp. compared to Jay Peak). Multiple people (mechanics, groomers, ski patrol, etc.) need to communicate quickly and accurately.

There must be industry best-practice or a technological solution. Sounds like a good project for an IT/Data Scientist intern.

It’s really not that hard. 10+ years ago I had more lifts and trails then this and an app on my phone and computer. Maybe 5-8 people had access. Could make any change instantly and updates pushed. I’m sure today there is something even better in place. Just have to use it….

Bitching about the bitching is the ultimate bitch.
