glenn,

thanks for your correction. i didn't connect that earlier disclaimer after reading your last paragraph which reads to suggest that the current ownership was reasponsible for it's installation, not just it's disposition in the current state of affairs.

i commend your efforts to bring change to the "hype" (a.k.a. lies) involved with reporting. it's a problem everywhere, not just at large resorts. although some areas are quite reputable, most put "spin" on their reports. i was at sunday river for their dollar day and no less than half a dozen trails were roped that they listed as open (mostly glades).

your an inspiration to skiers everywhere that have grown apathetic to lies and spin in ski reports. as i clearly stated in my previous post, i've come to expect these lies at most resorts (those are the one's i usually avoid, which is probably why i don't care... cause i only ski at those resorts when there is a super bargain - see above sunday river reference). it's great to see a skier holding a resort accountable for their reporting. however, it's not a lead that i'd follow as it doesn't bother me since i'm almost never effected by it... and when i am, it's the last thing about a resort that concerns me (see crowds, high lift ticket prices, hassles, and other ASC type concerns).

in any case, good luck with effecting some change... not only at sugarbush but in the skiing industry in general.

btw, is sugarbush really incorporated? i thought that ASC sold it to private investors?
