Another good day today. It might have been in my head, but the snow seemed a little softer than yesterday. I think that the sun and temps may be starting to come into play.
Look at the idiot #1: The Masshole who complained to the lift attendant for not bunching up groups when there was only about a 3 or 4 chair wait later in the day.
Look at the idiot #2: In a moment of delusion, I tried a jump in the terrain park. The problem is that I tried a little too hard and got too much air and landed on my ass. It was not a bad fall since I fell on the backside (downhill slope) of the jump, but I am sure that I looked like a complete fool.

March is off to a good start for them.

And that there is the reason I hope in 5-7 years we are all sitting around having a beer looking at a successful mountain that has re-integrated with the local community and saying "remember in like 2014 and 2015 when they let that guy's son run the place and he pissed off everyone?......thank God they finally saw the light and installed seasoned managers as the mountain is an awesome place to spend time."
That is the hope.

It will be sold by then. After all the "free" capital improvements are completed, of course.

Burke may be one of the last places they hit this year.

I loved it how the first two people they interviewed were folks who skinned up and did not buy a lift ticket....

they're both passholders
Interesting. One would not know that from the video.

Season pass rates are out:

OK, so I am completely confused reading that....
:blink:
Looks like straight adult pass for Burke is $549.
The college pass is so damn confusing that I think nobody will buy it. I understand what they are "trying" to do, but it goes against all forms of marketing I have seen (simple, less choices = better)
What are they trying to do with the college pass? Get people to buy early?

Yes, but do college kids really have a couple hundred dollars to spend on something they won't use until nine months from now?
.
I don't think I've ever heard of a mountain limiting the amount of college passes offered. And I agree, college students have enough financial worries that they don't need to be thinking about shelling out season pass money 9 months early.
Just shows that, yet again, Q does not understand who his customer really is.

And keep in mind that the incoming Freshmen next year will feel like they are getting a bad deal. Not a good way to start a potential four year relationship.
