That's a rather myopic view of the world, dontcha think?

That's been discussed before. Per the terms of the lease agreement all improvements upon the land (including lifts, snowmaking, restaurants, etc.) revert to landlord ownership upon expiration of the lease. So should Talisker/Vail win the pending litigation, they belong to Talisker. Here's our...

"Withdrew" is perhaps the wrong word. Maybe "dropped" is more accurate. If Alta's planned/proposed Flagstaff lift ever goes in, they'd be linked bi-directionally even though the ostensible reasoning behind Flagstaff involves avalanche mitigation in an era when Korean War-era 110mm shells are...

Whoa there, Nelly! Rein in that horse. "Hostile takeover," yes, in the sense in that VR is trying to get PCMR while Powdr ain't sellin'. I agree that phrase is absolutely accurate. The fact of the matter is that VR got involved because they want PCMR, not because they want Canyons. However...

Good catch. <Doh!>

Well, you are the one who brought it up before I chimed in, after all. The reason that I used the word "likely" is because as anyone is aware, any jury verdict is ultimately a crapshoot. Any attorney who tells you otherwise isn't worth talking to. My use of the word "likely" had nothing to do...

That's not a mere technicality, it's an important and relevant fact to this discussion. The bottom line is that resorts are left paying to defend lawsuits, whether frivolous or not. The act does absolutely nothing to eliminate that, as I've described above. That statement is patently false...

Many states have skier safety acts, not just Colorado, but just to clarify: those laws don't protect ski areas from lawsuits. Anyone can sue anyone for anything. What the skier safety acts provide is a viable defense to a resort for risks inherent to the sport of skiing. Whether or not the act...

Not just in Colorado and Utah, but also a lot closer to most of you folks than you might think: http://www.firsttracksonline.com/2013/09/23/photos-pre-season-snow-falls-west-and-east/

The emails in question were internal, not addressed to Talisker, and they're no longer in play because Judge Harris has already ruled that Talisker isn't entitled to them. That question is the key to this whole litigation. The issue is whether Powdr's other actions - e.g., notifying Talisker...

PCMR scores a small, but potentially significant victory. Once again here's the latest: http://www.firsttracksonline.com/2013/09/19/judge-park-city-mountain-resort-can-amend-complaint-against-talisker-over-lease/

And you won't, as the company is privately held. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note II using Tapatalk 2

The Notice to Quit is very specific on that point, and particularly names the lifts. I read the notice myself when preparing our article. The relevant portion is quoted verbatim at: http://www.firsttracksonline.com/2013/09/03/park-city-mountain-resort-owners-handed-eviction-notice/ Tamarack is...

Yeah, we were both writing our responses at the same time. :lol: Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note II using Tapatalk 2

Not true. The lease agreement states that all fixed improvements on the property... lifts, etc. ... revert to landlord ownership. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note II using Tapatalk 2

Almost, Nick. Powdr Corp does indeed own Park City Mountain Resort (PCMR), but nobody owns Vail other than Vail Resorts. Nevertheless, the whole tale is far more convoluted, so I can't fault anyone for getting some of the details wrong. Talisker Land Resolution is a division of Toronto-based...

And Kingslug, I'm rather disappointed that you didn't reply to http://forums.alpinezone.com/showpost.php?p=688726&postcount=49 so in response I have a little educational video for you the next time you come out here to ski: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unkIVvjZc9Y (link NSFW with the sound...

Killington claims 3,000 acres within its boundaries, of which ~1,000 acres is skiable (reports range from 750 acres to 1,200 acres, depending on whom you believe and who was writing the marketing literature that day -- remember that massive swath of land from Snowshed east toward US 4 and south...
