    It looks like all those expansion areas are mostly south facing.

    The NEW Magic Mountain

    What is the latest story with the two old hotels on the left side, just before the base lodge? One was Dostal's, and I forget what the other one was.

    The "Sugarbush Thread"

    That was my thought when asking. The second part would be. Can it be run in the off season as an attraction, or was part of the agreement allowing the build, curtailing it's use in the offseason? Bears, etc...

    The "Sugarbush Thread"

    Would the current lift be able to be converted to either a Gondola, or a hybrid Chondola? Would it be as simple as swapping the chairs out for cabins? If it was a gondola, would it be able to be run more often than a chairlift? It seems that the "excuse" given for it not running more often is...

    I saw that The Garrison has new owners and will get a major facelift. That place has been stuck in the 70s since the 80s, but has so much potential.

    I remember doing that back in grammar school. "I've got a secret, I've got a secret. But I'm not gonna tell you".

    Agreed. Thanks Win! This makes a strong co-marketing alliance with MRG even more important.

    Rental cars for western travel

    Look; I can cherry pick too! I don't understand all the mudslinging and bashing all of a sudden. Every state in the NE has good and bad sections, and unfair stereotypes given out by the truly ignorant. New Hampshire is a beautiful state, but should I just label everyone a heroin addict, and...

    Some very worthwhile items on that list! I'll send you a blank check next week. Just let me know the damage.

    A pie in the sky question for Win: If permitting and money were no object, what major project/expansion/improvement would you like to do at the ski resort?

    I agree. A little bit goes a long way. Keep on doing the right thing Win!

    New Jersey Meadowlands ski dome to open summer of 2017?

    Governor Phil Murphy must be salivating at what kind of new taxes he can come up with to slap on them as soon as they open.

    Win: I did not notice Sugar Tree Inn was no longer open to the public. Sad to hear that as I have nice memories of that place. Curiosity got me looking about area inns for sale, and I noticed that there seems to be quite a lot. I found active listings for Mountain View, Slide Brook, Beaver Pond...
