I know you think its bullshit but plenty of ski area GM's with limited water availability (whether by physical water being there or govt restriction on pumping) are sweating this currently.
Still a ways to go before go time though.
Well, in the video, one could see that Stuart had to keep saying, "well, Vail owns XX resorts, so maybe you might not remember that you own X resort" when he was talking about his recent experience when he was comparing Vail to other resorts. It was funny.
Lately I've been thinking about how dry it's been and how fucked they're gonna be of we don't see some wet weather. What are the odds they dredged their pond....
Settle down Katz Jr. I was mainly joking.
Yes, I know water limited areas are sweating it right now given the summer we've had.
Never heard Black down the street make any excuses about water last season. And again, the late start and reduced snowmaking efforts at WC have gone on ever since Vail bought the place.
But again....it was a joke.
ZERO chance of that....
Wildcat has been a complete ghost town all summer.
Hiked and DBiked down low and over to T brook last weekend.
Never saw a soul anywhere, except a Mama Moose and her lil one going up Lower PoleCat.

That's definitely more important to him than say the "Colorado Ski Hall of Fame"

𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦: 𝗦𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝟯 𝗗𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝟭𝟱 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 $𝟭𝟲𝟵.𝟵𝟵
Snow Triple Play is a new product from Snow Partners, the company behind Snow Operating which provides services to ski areas and are the operators of Mountain Creek and Big SNOW. This product is a "frequency pass" according to industry terminology, offering 3 days of skiing or riding in total at any of their 15 partner resorts with a limit of 2 uses at any one. Those resorts are as follows:
- Mountain Creek, NJ
- Big Snow, NJ
- Mount Southington, CT
- Ski Butternut, MA
- Plattekill, NY
- Belleayre, NY
- Gore, NY
- Whiteface, NY
- Oak Mountain, NY
- Pleasant Mountain, ME
- Sommet Saint Sauveur, QC
- Sommet Morin Heights, QC
- Sommet Gabriel, QC
- Sommet Olympia, QC
- Ski Martock, NS
Snow Triple Play will go on sale on September 1st and they are offering special pricing of $169.99 ($56.66/ticket) to the first 1,000 purchasers and then the price goes up to $199.99 ($66.66/ticket) and will continue to be on sale through December 24th. Blackouts may apply however such details are currently not available.
Based on the current distribution of partners on this product it provides the best value to the Greater New York Metro market that both Mountain Creek and Big Snow serves while also giving options in the nearby Catskills, ADK's, and beyond. Many of these resorts are not on other major pass products, making this one of the cheaper ways to visit them.
This comes on the heels of the recent Vail Resorts announcement providing a number of 50% off discounts to be shared by passholders, an announcement from Ikon Pass in the spring where the full Ikon Pass is now giving 2 days at a limited number of independent resorts, and Indy Pass has been hinting at some big news soon which will surely include another large expansion to their 230+ ski areas.
With the Northeast starting to settle down following large changes to the pass market as well as post-pandemic normalcy returning, discount products seem to be coming back in favor as a way to attract new skiers and riders. We at Snowology are not unhappy to see that as competition is good for the consumer.

Would-be Park City Mountain buyer: Activist investors 'circling around Vail' - Park Record
Matthew Prince, an Old Town resident, remains interested in acquiring local ski resort from Vail Resorts.
www.parkrecord.com
Also this quote was funny, Vail literally had a brand new lift sitting in the parking lot and the town wouldn’t give them the permit to install it.
If Prince were to someday acquire Park City Mountain, he would “operate the mountain in a way that, again, is very much focused on how do we serve the local community and make this the world-class mountain that it should be, as opposed to, you know, what we have now, where you got a lift like Silverlode. It was installed the same year that I was a ski instructor here, which was a long time ago. It is way past its useful life. If Silverlode breaks down, the entire mountain breaks down. … The mountain needs investment. It’s really tough to do that if you’re a big public company.”

Maybe a different operator, who was less hated and behaved more like a partner in addressing the towns concerns, would have gotten the permit
