yes F&B revenue is very large, that $1000 is just the space and seeing as they have a liquor license no out side booze so big money just there.

Never underestimate the photo op option on and at the top of the tram for a big draw with today's selfie crowd

I'm a big fan of wedding pictures of couples riding a regular chairlift myself. The ones I've seen are pretty damn cool looking!

State taking it over? Yeah, right.

Jay Peak will have offers.

Personally I wouldn't be shocked in the least bit if State of Vermont takes Burke over as an operationally money-losing taxpayer-funded charity rather than allowing it to NELSAP. Politicians dont like job losses (especially their own). Just take a look over the Lake at New York.

Yeah, I thought that only one of the ideas was realistic. Two were jokes. The Coop is not feasible for that size operation. State taking it over? Yeah, right.

Yeah because who has ever heard of the government running a ski area? (Sarcasm)

True but I just don't see Vermont doing it. But then again anything could happen.
