Re: Stop saying "Howdy Beast Fans" in the report.
The Texas Howdy and overt smarminess doesn’t play in the Northeast. It reads like a 5th grade book report trying to reach a 200 word count; it’s not how a company worth hundreds of millions of dollars and trying to appeal to high rollers and up market professionals should present itself. I find the decision baffling, but it is their choice.

Maybe K is following the recent (couple years) popularity of country music

Since when is K a top tier ski area? Whistler is a top tier ski area. Or JHMR or Snowbird or Stowe.ski wrote: ↑Dec 28th, '23, 08:52Ridiculous look for a top-tier ski area.daytripper wrote: ↑Dec 28th, '23, 08:40 Who gives a sh*t? More importantly why do you give a sh*t? It's a word, calm down.

Re: Stop saying "Howdy Beast Fans" in the report.
It seems like more detail in yesterdays report. The howdy is back, but more detailed information on snowmaking plans where given. Maybe this person who is writeing this hails from the Lone star state. At least it doesn't start with you all!

Re: Stop saying "Howdy Beast Fans" in the report.
Howdy, Beast Fans! Conditions up here are getting better and better every day. Our snowmaking team is working to resurface and improve conditions on terrain across the mountain. Once our current offerings are up to snuff, the team will turn their efforts back to expansion, with a close eye on maximizing efficiency and providing the best possible skiing and riding. We are currently hammering Highline and Cruise Control, and our goals include expanding our learning terrain on Ramshead by adding Easy Street in the near future. This will also give us a foothold to begin making snow on Timberline for the Peace Park build out. We will then look to add more terrain for expert skiers and riders as well as additional some additional cruisers.
This same paragraph has been there since Monday.

See . . . it's not just the "Howdy" . . . It's the pure drivel they are feeding us . . . Maybe they should get Chat GPT to write the report. . . I'm sure that's coming soon . .newpylong1 wrote: ↑Jan 3rd, '24, 07:34Howdy, Beast Fans! Conditions up here are getting better and better every day.
