What does this actually mean?
Let us first start by saying we apologize for taking a bit longer to get this meeting together than we had anticipated; we should have been more attentive to hitting the date we had, ourselves, put out there.
The overall tone of the email is weird. I think most people were hoping for something that said that they were going to share their plans to improve snow making moving forward. There is no suggestion in the email that they have come up with any such plan. Hopefully it's just not artfully worded. Ary definitely is a fan of the run-on sentence.

| Important Update to Our Season Passholders |

| Let us first start by saying we apologize for taking a bit longer to get this meeting together than we had anticipated; we should have been more attentive to hitting the date we had, ourselves, put out there. While our present conditions are fantastic, we wanted to get together as a community and discuss our strategies relating to snowmaking, and general operations, since the beginning of the season. With conditions being prime, it would be easy to shrug things off and say simply, "Let's move Forward" but we owe the Burke community and QB Season Passholders, more than that. As ambassadors both on and off the mountain, we recognize the frustration many of you expressed through multiple forums and channels, and we'd like to create an opportunity to listen, learn, and, as well, share our own thoughts. We will be setting up a Town Hall Meeting on Saturday February 7th from 5:30-7:30pm in our Kingdom Cafe. This meeting, un-ironically, coincides with our Season Passholder Appreciation weekend across that same date. We will be offering a continental breakfast at 9:30am on Saturday in the Tamarack with an apres-ski event in the Bear Den Lounge beginning at 3pm featuring Switchback Ale. On Sunday we'll have our Bell-to-Bell race where teams of two can race to see how many runs they can accomplish in a day. Teams can register to enter ($25.00 per team) with a pre-set course (3 trails), winners receive 2- $25.00 Tamarack Gift Certificates. Brunch in the Tamarack will be available from 9:30-11am for Season Pass Holders and their Family, must show pass to enter. Again, while the most important part of the season is still in front of us, it's important that we as a community look back to what worked and what didn't, so we can improve the experience that's at the very center of why all of us are here. Thanks and we look forward to seeing you on the 7th. Ary Quiros President & CEO Q Burke Mountain Resort |
This will be a very informative meeting. I encourage everyone to attend. You can hear first hand on what the snow making plans are, the current status of the Hotel and other important plans about Burke's future. Hope to see you there.

The snowmaking plans for February 7th will be zero. The season is already over for snowmaking.
And as to the meeting, if they are looking for ideas and solutions, there is one that fits the bill, so it will be a short meeting. That idea is to replace this guy:
That's all.
And as to "our strategies regarding snowmaking", really it comes down to Burke making snow in the first place and having the infrastructure to make it. I think that would be a no-brainer.

I know. That's why I added my comments to it. I'm hoping for a large turnout. So people can hear first hand of the current status and future plans. That way they don't have to rely on all of the worthless rumors that you spread.

Was it really necessary to make this personal? This meeting is about Burke. No need to drag your personal vendettas into the discussion about the meeting. I'm at least not a hypocrite who goes around bad mouthing Ary privately to mutual acquaintances that we have but then says something completely different in this forum.
Also, please tell me what I have said about Burke's snow making that was not true. Seriously. Tell me. Hint: You can't.
As for the meeting itself:
Unless there is a specific plan to increase snow making capacity that is going to be implemented in time for the 2015/2016 season, nobody is going to leave content. Let's see if there is an announcement made at the meeting in that regard.

From Saturday. If you look close you can see the tram between the summit and the tower.
Is this pic taken from the same vantage point as the one you posted of Cannon from the same day? If so, it's pretty sweet to have almost identical perspectives of the 2 New England trams from one location.
Well, to be fair you certainly have your own spin on things as well.

+2 Folks wanted a meeting and you got your meeting. Now go listen and keep an open mind---hear it from the source himself and then come back and give us the real details.
I'm very interested to hear how things go.

He's actually got two different spins. One he tells privately and one he tells here. But to suggest that, of the two of us, I'm the only one who has a "spin" on things at Burke is patently absurd. Isn't there a saying about throwing stones in glass houses?
And if you want to talk about unfounded rumors, who was the "artist" who claimed that condo sales were up when in reality they were down about 40%? Hmm...
I think it's best to stick to the issues, which is exactly what I had done before Masskier's ad hominem strike.
