NYC doesn't even make the top 20 on that list.

Because half of them don't even have licenses.

this study is based on cars insured with all-state. Since none of the people without licenses have car insurance they could not be counted in the study.

Where were you going with this? As far as NH goes they don't have to have insurance surprised they only have 11% not having insurance.

Illinois is missing from that list. Are we to ASSUME that all of those are insured?

Obama has them covered since Washington D.C is included!

That's the Sandy lift, not Rangeley.

Yep! Didn't walk quite over to the Rangeley after our hike up to Rock and Midway Ponds
If you were on the Peak's earnings call last week (or read the transcript) you can't help but think they may be buying Saddleback.....
- They made itclear they want to add exposure in the North East
- Regarding M&Aactivity, they expect to have news on an acquisition sometime “this fall”
- It’s NOT Magic
- Peaks is alreadyinvolved in the EB-5 program and Saddleback has an investment center set up…

NIce digging - SB would be a good fit to their portfolio - this could be a good outcome.

Diehard skiers do what it takes, regardless of the economy..
..and you have to remember, most people from the Montreal area don't visit Maine anyways, it's mostly NB, QC and rural Quebec...which brings, imho, more than a few skiers. SB will never get as many skiers as the big VT resorts...so whoever buys should(imho) forget all the additives that bump up expenditures, that have nothing to do with skiing, that urbanites and suburbanites who need to drive a $40k+, whine about. Deep pockets can rebuild, maintain and keep prices lower than VT and NH. I don't think any recession ever stopped skier traffic.... Canadians have been driving really fuel-efficient cars, compact in size...all over Quebec and NB, except for trucks...and still they choose the better mpg of the trucks...ie they spend much less on cars than the high-value cars of Americans, who can afford them, but often try to be the spenders on the most costly items.. Not nearly as much high-value advertising on anything, on canadian television.. It should be interesting to see who bites.. Any building could use the vertical space for lodging and parking while taking up very little acreage, but they don't....a Huge mistake imho. Would be nice to see some creative design go into it without cutting and clearing out half the woods around the area.

I'd be shocked if Peaks bought Saddleback. They specialize in the high-volume market. Mount Snow and their midwest resorts are proof of that. With Wildcat and Attitash being the exceptions, it's no wonder why no money ever flows their way.
Crotched isn't high volume either
