Belleayre's Tony Lanza fired by DEC

[bvibert]

If you want to be technical I asked him a question, and a valid one at that considering it is pretty clear he didnt bother to read the thread prior to his post. The link he posted was what started the debate to begin with.

If that question is going to cause someone emotional distress, yes, clearly we are still in middle school.

Not everything is something thats "offensive", but if I have totally ruined your day, then Im sorry.

Are you really going to attempt to debate this? Your post was uncalled for. Grow up.

That scenario (Bell, not Gore/Whiteface) describes pretty much every major New England player as well, excluding for arguments sake Sugarloaf and Saddleback. I dont know the stats for every single player in the market, but I do know for a fact that several "daytrip" type places you describe do well over 70 bucks per skier visit in economic impact. So whats their secret?

Share your "facts". Which "daytrip" type places are you comparing Belleayre to?

Well, villages at least. For Belleayre, skiers from the metropolitan area have the option of day-tripping, while if you drive all the way to Whiteface or Gore you pretty much have to stay over. My point was meant to be that Belleayre can't be expected to contribute more than it does.

By the way, in my definition a town has to have most of the following: An elementary school, a supermarket (general store N.G.), a hardware store, a post office (and a zip code), selectmen, and not being part of a larger entity called a town.

i think that people need a reason to stop driving to spend cash locally.

Being that it's completely feasible to fill up with cheap gas in NJ and do the whole trip without stopping then gassing up again in NJ - I don't see any people stopping for gas and stuff in NY... That and the fact that lot's of Bell peeps pack lunches..

It just doesn't seem to be the local economic generator that everyone makes it out to be...

Does anyone have anything to back up their arguments rather than try and discredit mine? You cannot seriously think that Bell is doing even an ok job in this department.

Why all the defense for one of the worst run ski resorts in the Northeast?

NY State is one of the worst at running state government so their not good at running ski area

Maybe Dean Gitter will give him a job....

Did anyone give Tony a job? What is he doing?

I heard that Tony is a Bell regular. A passholder.

Anyone know if that is legit?

If true that is crazy. If I was fired for ethics and those other reasons I would not want to be showing my face there. Any legit company would issue a no trespass warrant at a minimum

 

[AdironRider]

Considering its still a public asset, can they ban him, considering he does still pay taxes, etc? That would seem to be a worse outcome than some ex employee plunking down his own money on a ski pass.

Does seem insane. Hard to believe to that if he was skiing, that somebody somehwere wouldn't have posted about it.

If I hadn't heard it from a highly credible source, I wouldn't have thrown it out.

I saw Tony skiing the day I skied Belleayre right before Christmas.

 

[ScottySkis]

He could just.ski Hunter, Platty, and Windham and not get in trouble.

Make no mistake its hard to argue with success. Tony Lanza increased Belleayre skier and rider visits from less than 90,000 to a high of over 180,000, which has significantly helped improve the economy in the route 28 corridor. Most area businesses have given Tony Lanza full credit for the improvements and customer growth at Belleayre over the last decade.

Tony Lanza's current employment is not far from Belleayre.
