Hadn't you heard? Blowing snow and trying to open early in October are just a waste of money? We only measure lift tickets sold! What good is all that free press in one of our core markets going to do for us?

Well there's not as much to do on mountain, as far as dining and night life. Our neighbors in other ski homes are bit on the boring side. We enjoy having friends over, bbq's, drinks, etc. Not much of that going on at Sugarbush. Waterbury and Warren are great towns, but again on the quiet side. As f...

Went to Sugarbush this weekend for a kid event. Got to check out Sugarbush for the first time in a few years since I have been there last. Here is what I observed on how they run their mountain compared to POWDR: Customer Service: Far superior to Killington. I noticed the vast majority of employees...

So I go over to Sugarbush's website to see if they are getting all snow, and find: http://www.sugarbush.com/images/uploaded/content/snowreport112608.jpg "At this early hour, we've already received 3 inches of snow, and we suspect a lot more coming through today...tonight...and into Thursday! Y...

While they may be factos in an absolute sense, they'd be so far down on the list as to be noise-level impact. The Killington brand is (or was, prior to POWDR) one of the most powerful in the Northeast. Any deal involving the mountain that didn't have the name as part of it would be a lot less valua...

The case is indeed stronger than you have thought as I'm told the attorney they're using has a pretty good track record, is highly thought of, and wouldn't have taken this case had it been frivolous to begin with. The plaintiffs did their homework. As for the name change and use of existing employe...

Those rights, and the 'fairness' transferred to the buyers of the bonds. The bonds were transferable , in writing, contained in the language of the bond. That some elected this option and transferred them should not cause a loss of any kind of standing. That is obvious. I was responding to your imp...

Is it possible a bond pass somehow "runs with the lease"? In other words, as long as an entity leases the land from the State and operates the resort, the bond pass remains in effect and must be honored by the lessee? Seems unusual, but I wonder if there is a precedent for this sort of in...

Oh, you mean my previous post in only this thread? You haven't read all the lengthy threads on this matter in which I have written extensively? So therefore when I write on just one or two points in fairly simple fashion, and then go on in greater detail when asked a question by you, you infer both...

OK, I'm going to start off with the GE toaster. I have no idea how subcontracting the manufacturing of an item correlates to this case. In and of itself, the name or the logo is not sufficient to decide this case. As in a lot of cases, it is not the individual action but the sum af many actions tha...

My recollection is that each ski area retained an individual corporate status as a subsidiary of ASC with ASC owning all the stock of each earlier corporation. That is why ASC was a successor to Killington Ltd. and S-K-I and ASC had to honor the passes. That's an important piece of the puzzle. I do...

KSRP has the option of duking it out or paying them off... Theoretically, KSRP could just stand by and wait for the courts to find in their favor (watch at home). Big risk not defending yourself, but you could choose to go that direction. Paying them off may be the easiest way to get what they want...

Or shrewd business sense... I hate ticket scalpers too, but it doesnt seem to stop them. But it's still blackmail. No one forces you to buy a ticket from a scalper - you can always watch from home. Besides, everyone hates scalpers anyway, and all they're doing is exploiting a market inefficiency. B...

I don't understand why KSAA is trying to smear KSRP in the process. KSAA are not trying to smear any person, business or organization. KSRP seem to need no help getting their feet into their mouths. Whether you're trying or not, you are certainly doing it. Your quotes in the local press seem to all...

At what point does honoring the passes become a "cost of business" decision rather than an obligation...? I personally dont think KSAA has a leg to stand on, but the cost of fighting it, may be more than just giving these folks passes to shut them up. I suspect that''s a big part of KSAA'...
