    Jay Peak bombshell

    You can't really look at each of the amenities on it's own. The hockey is doing well because the water park makes it very attractable because it gives the kids something to do besides hockey. Hockey also books a lot of room in the hotels, which bring in money, no to mention the restaurants.

    Snowmaking improvements will not be cheap. Their main problem is lack of water. The only solution is to install a pipeline down the mountain to the river. Not cheap! Then they will need to upgrade their pumps and snowmaking system on the mountain. Last season there were trails that they never...

    I did say it was a rumor. I still believe Jay has been sold to an investment firm. Maybe they postponed the announcement due to Bill's sentence.

    Thanks for the update Steve. The electric bill was just a rumor. Glad to hear its not true. The bounced check was from a homeowner. Must have been one of the two.

    I heard that rental checks sent to homeowners in september bounced and that Jay is not paying its electric bill. Not good news.

    Spruce Triple - Sunday River, ME

    The load on the bull wheel is determined by the tension in the cables. That is set by the counter weights at the base which are set to float and keep the tension in the cables constant. The load on the chairs have no effect on the cable tension. So the actual load on the bull wheel is the same...

    The original capacity was based on the tram without the water tank. They have been running it at full capacity with the water tank all these years.

    Jay did not loose several million last year. They actually made a profit. Wherever you read that they misquoted the numbers. If Jay was not profitable then the receiver would just shut them down and sell off the assets. They would not put putting more money back into it. After all they make...

    Its actually the weight of the tank is equivalent to 15 people. If they remove the tank then it would hold 60 people. If there is water in the tank then no one is allowed in the tram.
