Well the cost for the build out is supposedly upwards of $100m. 40 investers at a 1/2 mil each is only $20m. Where's the rest of the money comimg from? Besides Sugarbush didn't have to show they created any new jobs. They only had to show they saved them being revenue was down over 20% at the time.
Since the completion date for the project is 2013 I'd assume that figure doesn't include Gadd Brook.where did you get that 100m number from??? seems high to me.
Is the there really no more room for terrain at Lincoln Peak? It sure looks like there is, especially between CR and North Lynx

I'm sure he had to scrape & claw his way up the corporate ladder being his father was one of the founders. Sorry you took offense to the name I called him but the phrase was commonly used on the street for people like him.Tha's the most dumbass comment that you have added to this thread so far. WTF is your problem with how Sugarbush is financing it's expansion over the past 10+ years ? Why don't you just stay at Killington and save your attempts at witty comments for KillingtonZone.

I wouldnt put much faith into what's reported on that link. The scope of the project has changed considerably over the years.Since the completion date for the project is 2013 I'd assume that figure doesn't include Gadd Brook.

No thank you.

Howie just wants to keep everything undeveloped to himself at both LP and ME 8)
Technically there is room to expand in that area. There was even an old plan floating around in SB's Vegetation Management plan from a number of years ago with it mapped out. Whether they actually would want to do this or could even get approval is another story. I'd rather leave LP alone though personally.
Say what you want, but irrespective of where he topped out or how he got there, he is unarguably the best steward/owner SB has had in many decades, perhaps since its founding. In an era where skiing is no longer a growth sport, and climate/snowfall seem increasingly variable, he has guided SB to a path of sustainable operations in a manner that none of his predecessors were willing/able to do. Sure, ASC brought SB into the modern age with its orgy or much-needed lift and snowmaking investments (albeit with 2nd rate materials that are the source of many system issues today), but then they cut and run. Win is deeply invested in not just the resort, but the Mad River Valley more broadly and looks to be here for the long-term. He has used EB-5 money opportunistically but appears to prefer other methods, much of which comes from his own pocket or is based on cash flows of the operating business. Not sure why anyone would slag him for that unless they have an uninformed agenda.I'm sure he had to scrape & claw his way up the corporate ladder being his father was one of the founders.

SHe always was two steps ahead and one back.
