Wow. That guy never ceases to amaze me.......I've never seen someone jump from one avoidable pile of shit to another so consistently. It's like he runs to conflict for sport.....

Why, why, why doesn't that surprise me? Screw it, let him burn all the bridges and go bankrupt, then the place can be had for fire-sale pricing. It sure would make a nice community run resort.
I'm guessing he tried to bill them without having a contract with the schools that notified them that use of the mountain wasn't free?

I think that the idea that he has run out many employees in an effort to rehire folks later on to justify the EB-5 funding might logically explain what has otherwise been irrational action.
Why would anyone go work for him other than a lack of transportation? I'd commute to Jay or Cannon rather than dealing with his BS.

Hopefully, the powers that be in charge of the program are smart enough not to include "prior existing, but unfilled posistions" and only count newly created jobs.

Ugh. Just when I was getting used to the benefits of being positive. Hopefully this will sort itself out soon.

ABC just had a report on EB5 corruption and how it maybe being used by spies and terrorist to get into this country.

Last night on WBZ Boston radio there was a Burke add. When they use the new name Q-Burke it just sounds so stupid. Who would have an ego big enough to think they are justified in putting their initial in front of a mountains name? I will never get over this. I just don't understand.
I've got no skin in ths game, but think it's just stupid to call the place Q Burke. Burke barely had any name recognition in the Boston area and to change the name has to be one of the dumber things any owners could do.

But now people are noticing the strange name and want to find out more! Right?

The answer to that would be NO !
I think there is a great opportunity for both Cannon and the Outing Club. 20+ years I've skied at Burke and I've been to Cannon twice this year and for first time went to Outing Club. Its a great alternative for families. Cannon great mountain esp with Mittersal. The vibe reminds me of Burke in the 90s. Very friendly
To an extent maybe, however, you can downsize and swim upstream without standing under the bridge to every community asset/tie linked to the mountain with a giant eff-u blowtorch. Seriously, it doesn't have to be this hard.....
Companies time reductions in force strategically with earnings reports etc. every year......and explain it very easily, I don't buy that pissing on the community partners is in any way tied to window dressing for EB-5......heck as an investor, Chinese or otherwise I would want to know the community is 110% behind the mountain and new management.
I too, heard this about retro invoicing. My takeaway is that it is indicative of a disconcerting pattern (the KTA debacle).

No...they think it must be in Quebec and don't want to get a Passport and learn to speak French to go skiing
Help eliminate the Q. Not the person (yet), just the Q in the name. Send an email expressing your feelings. I have.

That was a recent quote in Ski Magazine on the name change.
