Yeah, but, throw us Ragged loyals a bone! No reciprocal passes? Please. Please. Please. Please. 🥺
If I remember right, the first year Vail took over Peak, our passes were only good at other areas that were acquired when Vail acquired Peak. Mergers, whether airlines, phone companies or ski areas, are a crap shoot for the customers. While I agree with abubob, history is not on his side.

The “real” new owners.

Spoiler alert: it’s the guys themselves at Pacific Group apparently.


Nice find.

As I've mentioned before in how they manage Ragged, PG knows who they are, who they aren't, and they don't pretend to be something they're not. They've been good stewards I would be confident the Jay Peak that people love isn't going anywhere.

Isn't that typically how this is done in the ski industry. It seems like these operators all purchase these resort under a new company name / subsidiary that falls under the umbrella corporation. For example, Vail Resorts, Inc. owns Stowe Mountain Resort under a subsidiary called VR US Holdings II LLC. Okemo is the same thing, with it being owned by Okemo LLC.

My point was more along the lines of where these guys are getting their money. I was not sure if they had some investors behind them. Apparently that is not the case. Unless their backers truly are “silent” investors not to be disclosed to the press.

That make sense. I thought you were going down the line of how Aspen's owners are involved with Alterra.

Nice little interview and the reporter was knowledgeable.

I had no idea Jay has so much ancillary infrastructure (hotels, restaurants, ice rink, etc). I literally haven't been there since 1995. The price tag makes a little more sense to me now.

Jay Peak has the Montreal and Quebec markets within driving distance. This and only this is what allows them to build out the amenities like rock stars...
