I don't think that they have much choice.
Yep. No Canadian would have bought a pass without the refund policy. I told them to keep my money for next year's pass. I think they need it more than me at this point.
How many Canadian bought Jay passes that were not using money rolled over from prior years?
One thing to keep in mind is that if Jay Peak is sold, new owner may not honor previous policies. “Cash is king” For instance, when Powdr bought Killington in 2007, they refused to recognize “lifetime” passes issued by the previous ownership https://www.rutlandherald.com/news/...cle_690ff75e-a200-50f2-8ec9-887c4a58f9d5.html
True, but unlikely. Unless of course POWDR decides to buy Jay and piss off all those skiers and riders.
A one-time deferral/rollover is a vastly different situation than a "lifetime" pass.
However, a Canadian could potentially roll over the value paid for their pass and have a new owner credit their rollover but without and exchange "discount.". In other words, a Canadian might have to shell out a bunch extra next year should a sale occur in ownership. I wouldn't want my $$ locked up if that was a possibility.
Possible, but highly unlikely. I don't know what percentage of the business comes from north of the border, but I'm confident that it's high enough to be worth treating Canadians well.

Ahh, the Bonnie was suppose to go years ago in favor of the Powerline 6. That failure was the first indication to me the development at Jay was about to halt.I am surprised nobody posted about this. According to LiftBlog the Bonnie is down for an extended time due to moisture freezing in the gear box last weekend.
Yeah spend millions on a new 6-Pack or buy a penthouse suite at Trump Tower? Q chose the latter. Skiers and riders lost. I knew it was not good when they quietly "moved" the base terminal instead of replacing it. For all those beautiful buildings, Jay's lifts are ancient. The last "major" lift improvement was the Freezer in 1999-2000!
True. Both the cabins and major overhaul a few years back. The latter was done because they had no choice.....
Actually, the Power line 6 wasn't a $$ thing, it was an ACT250 thing. State shit it down due to two tower footings being basically in seasonal streambeds. I remember it went round and round, then they finally shelved the plans and just shortened Bonnie (to make room for Stateside Hotel). Power line was suppose to shift towards Jet and run up the existing power line cut.
That is very interesting considering that the other Vermont Regulators were all-in on Jay and giving Q whatever he wanted.....
