Except that The Hermitage is on WAY more solid financial ground to fix this "problem" without having it effect any other operations
The thing is, unless one has recently seen firsthand what Jim Barnes has created at The Hermitage, you really can't grasp what is going on, and more importantly how satisfied the members are
He certainly seems to have a plan and is executing it pretty well.

Management is doing a good job at the Hermitage?

Maybe not in the eyes of a few regulatory agencies
But at least in the eyes of their paying members, they're doing a good job, and the local economy is benefitting from that

Yer all nuts.
If I truly had that kind of money I'd be all about Hermitage...no crowds, snooty milfs, terrain that makes me look like a champ, no poors around to harsh my mellow...it sounds fantastic.

He is in Vermont. That's a big reason for those problems.
Didn't he sell one to West Mountain in New York?

Yup
And West is using the parts from it, buying a few new parts and also buying an old drive from Sugarbush if I recall correctly, replaced one of its old (as in it seemed OLD when I first skied West back in 1981!!!) main base to summit lifts for this season, and the other parts are being used to replace its other old base to summit lift next season (they've already done some preliminary work on the new base drive terminal footings).
The first of West's "new" lifts made from the Hermitage's old lift just opened up this past weekend

No frills and The Hermitage Club aren't compatible in the same sentence!
The thing that impressed me the most is that the Hermitage's new six pack is not only heated, but it comes with built in bidets in every chair. As you ride up, you have your ____ washed with every ride. Now that's class. . .
{For all of you scratching your heads and for Scotty Skis, here is the Wikipedia link for what a "bidet" is; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bidet }
They've got them at some of the lodging properties in Stowe, the Stowehof being one of them. I recommend testing the water temperature before using. A buddy's girlfriend did not and found out the hard way. :lol:
I just spit my coffee laughing at that! Only the lower class skis under the lift because of that feature.

The house me and a bunch of my fellow workers rented in CO last year had a bidet in the master bath. It was kinda awkward asking the owner of the company if I could take a shit in his bathroom instead of mine (he chose the master bedroom) so I could test it out.....

In Italy there is a building law that requires every home to have a bidet. They've become a symbol of Italian hygiene supremacy. The French have largely abandoned them. Those dirty heathens.

As much as this proud Italian citizen hates to admit it, those fancy Japanese toilets are the best. Their bathtub designs are also a lot better. The bathtubs are much more vertical. The sitting position is more upright.

that would make me revise my prior statements about never wanting to see a private ski club. that looks SICK. the hermitage club just looks douchey. terrain is everything. $3 million, and $75k/year membership dues. excuse me while i go buy some more powerball tix.
