Q merchandise
It may have been said earlier, but the Q hard goods face at least 2 problems:
1) most anyone sort of connected to the mountain or area has no interest in wearing the "Q" -- it does not carry positive energy with it.
2) that Q logo is UGLY. My son and I were at another area and he saw a t-shirt in the window that was graphically really sharp. As broke as he is, he bought it because it looked cool. That impulse buy is not happening with that awful creature surrounded by the forced Q.
fwiw--

I don't recall discussion about these meetings being a regular occurrence, but I like the idea! However, I'm not sure how many people they are going to get at 9:00 AM on a Saturday when most people are looking to hit the slopes at that time.
[h=1]Round Table End of Season Discussion[/h] 
As the end of season approaches, we would like to invite our Season Pass Holders and Condo Owners to a round table discussion next Saturday, March 14th at 9:00am upstairs in the Tamarack Pub & Grill.
During the Town Hall meeting held in February, we introduced the concept of a monthly open forum to provide our pass holders and condo owner community a platform and opportunity to communicate concerns relating to the mountain, and/or express positive feedback. By having this regular discussion we hope to demonstrate a transparent approach as well as answer questions directly to achieve the best possible experience for everyone enjoying Q Burke Mountain Resort.
Our season pass holders and condo owners are our ambassadors of the mountain. You are here the most and share our same passion for success.
Let's keep the conversation going so we can successfully embrace the new wave of Q Burke Mountain Resort with the addition of the Q Burke Hotel & Conference Center.
Next season these will be pre-scheduled dates to give you more notice and more of an opportunity to plan ahead and attend. Dates will be announced in the 2015/16 Season Pass Sale Announcement scheduled to launch next Friday, March 13th.

Another example of management having no clue who their customers are - having a meeting on a Saturday morning during the prime of ski season - even when they try to do good they mess it up....

It's nice to see that they are keeping a line of communication open. On the other hand, I'm not sure that a meeting so soon is needed. But I'd rather they err on the side of too much communication than too little so I'm not complaining.
My only real concern at this point in time is to receive the snowmaking plan prior to plunking down money for a season pass. They promised to get this information out prior to the price increase deadline.
As for the time of day for the meeting... yeah... that's bad.

I'd move it to 4:30pm on a Saturday.

Maybe that time was intentional...
I agree. They probably planned a snow storm to occur before that so that the local powderhounds are not available.....

I don't believe that any resort branded material is a hot commodity with locals. The stuff is made and sold mostly to vacationers. I grew up on the jersey shore and my parents certainly didn't take us down to the beach shops to buy school cloths.

U16 state championships are this weekend. How much should that impact crowds?
Well, regardless, it ain't selling!

Wow, another busy day at Burke. At times there's a 3-5 minute lift line.
There is a video on Burke's FB page of Ary snowboarding today.....weird.

I was expecting worse since there were tons of people there for the ski race. I'd guess that about 25% of the crowd were racers or family.
Conditions were fantastic.

This is just copy-pasted from their Facebook page. It would have been easier just to give the link, especially since there are more photos there.
