This market chaos is causing me some discomfort...probably like the rest of you.
The ski industry seems to run on a tight budget as it is, especially the one-season resorts.
But I'm curious to see what happens this winter. I've just seen gas under $3 a gallon, so the price of gas won't be the show-stopper...but maybe the cost of the extra gas to get to that same resort becomes the issue (assuming family budgets tighten up).
What will the resorts do to keep people coming and skiing/riding, staying overnight, eating in the lodges?
This might be the year to find some decent bargains on ski and stay packs...and maybe early sale prices on gear. Better to have folks at the resorts to cover the "fixed" costs...and move inventory.
Thoughts?
