Your missing the point. It’s not up to you to determine the rules that apply to you when using the facilities of a private organization. Whether I, or you, disagree, is irrelevant. I wish it was different and we had more of a European attitude towards personal risk. But we don’t. I watched...

Aaaand this is the attitude causing the issues. “Your rules”. Plenty of mountains in Vermont for you to go be a hard ass at that aren’t subject to liability concerns. Make your own ski hill if the rules are so hard for you. Isn’t that really what skins are for?

this is just rude. the man has committed capital and taken risks and should be applauded for it, not derided. interesting take in the Digger today. They seemed to have dropped their muckraking tone in favor of just reporting what this situation seems to be, a giant mess. The more we know, the...

not sure I follow this. There are a couple of parking lots at mid burke, room for a couple hundred cars I would guess? When we have gone this year I like to park up above and ski down to the lower lodge to get tickets for the grandkids. Get in a warm up on the house :) have always gotten a...

if the State is inserting themselves in this billing process then I could understand the hesitancy. Keep in mind that even with their screw ups these guys still have leverage (ex. Orleans county leading VT in job creation), but you raise good points. Or maybe they just developed some sense and...

I think we all need to just accept the fact that as New England skiers every so often mother nature just really drops a stinker. Believe 1980 was the last year that was this bad. Odds are next year will be alot better. Lets hope that the same flip that the Sierras got this year from last we get...

hey everyone, been out of town but here to take my beatings I just want to way in my defense, I believed Bill Stenger when way back he said the Hotel was funded, and re-iterated that multiple times. Clearly it was not, and pretty clearly I think he flat out lied. Big difference between the...

true. but like I said earlier- its barely underfunded if the percentages stated by Stenger and not contradicted by Davis are true (3% over budget/underfunded). And its also true, based on what has been reported (tell me, do you know different?) these funds are pledged from additional EB 5...

ok. does Jerry Davis have a clue? please explain why not, along with all details of your superior knowledge to the guy owed the damn money.

Could not agree more with your historical description here, pretty accurate. But nobody liked Ary last year either and skier visits were flat not down, again with a terrible x-mas w. This year one could not make such an easy comparison because skier visits will be way down, and likely season...

sure. So how many of the weddings booked at the hotel this summer have cancelled in light of this? and once again you are choosing to blame Stenger and Quiros here. I blame the state, as does the contractor. Why do you not agree with Jerry Davis that this is a state caused issue? Who says...

Ha, Lubert backed Ginn's ideas (along with Credit Suisse). Go look at the plans for Ginn Su Mer in the Bahamas. that is why they scared me! no idea but all the ski area has been lacking consistently is skier visits. the hotel should change that, Kingdom Trails didn't exist in 2000 so its now a...

that's great. this is a thread about Burke.

It's not pending its ongoing. Where have I said all is well? Clearly there are issues. But would you not agree the hotel is far and away the largest aspect of the build, and in the face of the state releasing ALL funds that is a positive sign? What would you rabid wolves think of the state...

And? It was a rebuttal to someone who said Burke was not coming back. I went to that auction. Burke was dead. Since then, there have been a large amount of investments. No sane person could think it is worse today. Heck I'll take Q over the live grenade that was Ginn and Lubert Adler. I trust...

You mean like above where I said the outstanding issue of the land deals between the EB 5 and Quiros? Yup got that one, amazing, I didn't even read all 2000 detective like posts! Again, the state, which actually has all the information, released all funds for the hotel. So, you may have smoke...

Dude. Burke went to auction not that long ago and it was almost killed. If you think this is the bottom of the barrel you haven't a clue.

Yeah. It's such a major problem the state released all the funds. You can make all the allegations you want but the powers that be are not in agreement. Carry on Señor Quixote.

What are you, a librarian or something? $55 million construction projects go over budget all the time. It's called the real world, look into it sometime. And I would note Davis again in the Cal Record squarely and emphatically blames the state. But you guys just keep going with your playground...
