No, you're right. It does not look good. We're all hoping that things change.
Ha, you beat me too it. They are the worst. It sounds like the 'crappy phone video through windshield driving on road' torch has been passed...now with narration describing the 'crappy phone video through windshield driving on road'.
You are not alone. Source of laughter for other mtns..
Lol, well if Jr. stays true to form with his temper tantrums, anything people oppose he tends to double down on.
"They think this is cheesy, I'll show them cheesy!!!".....
It is the equivalent of trying to market a high dollar wedding band using a hand held cell phone video and charging a premium price......
If you want to play in the big leagues, behave like you are already in the big leagues.....
What do you think the employees (the few that are left) think when Jr is like.... "hey grab the bear costume and your snowboard, I'll grab my phone and meet you outside.."......

Yeah, unfortunately it is galvanizing him. I've heard that the powers to be are not impressed and are waiting for the right place to send Q, Jr.
I gotta be honest (like I'm not always honest), from where I sit and based on the negative energy that Jr seems to not only attract, but feed off of, I think the best thing they could do is to remove him and not quietly. It would be like an exorcism and hopefully the vibe will improve and go back to some positive energy where it is easier to focus on the good things going on and make it easier to see past some of the not so good things.
You think his own father would do that??
Nope. If he removed Jr., it would be done quietly so as not to cause any embarrassment to Sr. or the Q family.
That being said, if Jr.s antics distract from the business in a meaningful way, then if Sr. is anything like the businessman he is rumored to be, then he should make the move.
What I can see is something where Jr. stays with a title but in an effectively reduced role once the hotel opens and you have a large and more sophisticated organization to manage and hopefully a veteran of the business brought in to oversee the whole thing and a few people with a clue running operations and marketing, maybe someone without a cell phone camera.

IIRC, it was always the plan to have Jr. take the helm of the airplane manufacturing operation once that is up and running. Although I haven't heard much about that project lately. There were some references made to improvements that are supposed to be made to the airport in Coventry, but not much chatter is happening.

Sounds like a good way to start an impromptu town-wide keg party.... :grin:

Mother Nature is being cranky. MBX is on wind hold during a 3-for-1 Wednesday.

Bummer. I hear it is very cold again. Probably just as well to not open.

Huh? Cold is never a reason not to open a lift!
Wind - well that is another story!

Not much meat on that bone. That's too bad, since LSC has had some pretty decent articles about the mountain.
Wow this portion of the sentence is a hot mess...... "the new hotel will be $1.8 million square feet with 116 suits"
Not sure where to start on that bit of reporting......lol
Measuring space in $ and having 116 "suits"......I hope they carry my size......
