Wonder if vail is trying...
Boyne has been out of the running for a while.
I would not wish POWDR on my worst enemy.

jay provides! The quality of the tree skiing today was way better than I expected it to be. Great day. Tram side is basically cooked. I hit jfk but it was probably meant to be closed. The runout is not passable without lots of walking. Valhalla and canyon land were poached. I’d recommend Valhalla if you are cool navigating a very narrow slice of Vermonter to access itHope the r holds off at loaf tmrw til lunchtime.

Wish them the best but I have no more dog in this fight. Just sold my Jay peak property and bought a house in Kicking Horse British Columbia.
That’s awesome!

Been the dream for a while. COVID made it happen a bit earlier. Gonna miss Jay Peak. Great mountain.

Still have to work my Montreal job for a couple of years, but will be able to work remotely during winter, Then I move out west full time.
Well, the only big news this week was Bill’s sentence.

The timing would have definitely sucked for sure. At some point they will have to sell, for whatever the market offers. Can't be run by the general receiver forever.
Rumor update:
Latest is it was down to two investment firms, they had decided on one of them but then one of the bidders who dropped out due to covid now wants to enter a bid so everything is on hold to reconsider this third bid.

I really hope this 3rd bidder is not vail

i dont have any inside information or anything but i am pretty sure vail was eliminated from the running here quite a long time ago, and i am fairly confident that its not vail
i'd love for it to be boyne, but will be happy with anything that keeps it independent or ikon partner status not full access. i wouldn't necessarily complain if the buyer was alterra and jay became full ikon, but i am not rooting for that outcome at all

I guess I'm not rooting for it either but you'd be a happy camper living anywhere from No. VT to Montreal with Sugarbush and Tremblant in the mix.
The only comment I will make about Alterra buying Jay, and having it as an unlimited IKON destination, is "be careful what you wish for."

i hear you, but in sleepy little jay vermont i am not really all that worried. i also specifically don't wish for this outcome, but i don't fear it.
sugarbush is more accessible than jay and hasn't been overwhelmed.
stratton is as accessible as it gets and it hasn't been that bad, tho i know better than to avoid it on certain days, and to always avoid the main base area from 9:30-1 on a weekend
jay is in the middle of fucking nowhere. close to the montreal metro but I'm not too worried.
my preference is still for ikon partner status 5/7
