Yep. That's why you have to look at the summary spreadsheet. The detailed spreadsheet for December 2011 is the December 2010 spreadsheet.

Got it -- thanks.

Too bad they don't measure the Jackson Gore entrance. They're missing data for half (or more) of the people who ski Okemo. 'Course, it could be just as bad this year...

Sounds like he needs his own 125 page thread that'll get bumped incessantly...

Not to spend fully half of my posts talking about any one person, apparently.

No, but spending a hell of a lot more time than anyone being negative and speaking down to just about everyone isn't exactly as gallant or as intellectual as you seem to believe.
Don't ever change, it's tough being a perfect AO but you do a fine job. Bye, Bye.

Speaking of the Dew Tour, apparently Mount Snow is suing the Tour for $2 million for pulling out of Mount Snow last year.

Can we give the Dew Tour back to them?

The AlliSports website describes the Dew Tour as the “first ever winter action sports tour,” with three events over three months. A Dew Tour stop includes a live concert and a “festival village”
Was there a live concert this year or last?

Well, when the defendants file a "response", maybe we'll finally know the reason the Tour shifted to K. Maybe it wasn't because Mt Snow refused to build a larger SuperPipe as the story/rumor was...

Weird. At the time, the split appeared somewhat amicable, and centered on Mt. Snow's unwillingness to build the required 22' pipe. Odd that they'd come back nearly two years later and sue on some pretty narrow grounds (failure to cancel within a required 60 day window). They'll never see 2 million, the best they can hope for is a "shut up and go away settlement" which won't be much. I don't get this at all, if they're really so broken up about this, why not wait another year for the contract with Killington to be up and then re-enter the bidding? Strange days at Peaks to be sure, this makes me wonder about their solvency. Their purchase of Wildcat may have left them cash poor, combined with canceling their IPO, and a poor snow year, may have created a perfect storm of financial disasters for them, and this is a desperate move to raise money any way they can. Or maybe they're just nuts. Not a lot of upside.
