Big Burke announcement
- Thread starter the original trailboss
- Start date
Is it permanent this time?
I mean, wasn't it about a year ago that it was announced Ary was moving on to do the Qairplane thing and Steve from Jay was going to be GM for both mountains? Then within a couple months, Steve was out, Ary was back in and hiring someone from Fastenal to be GM? Fastenal guy gets fired and then it was the GM to be revealed later PR fiasco?
Is he taking the Q with him on the way out the door?

Agreed. And I think that Steve only lasted two weeks or so.
Believe this story when I see it.
It would be met with optimism, I would argue more than $1.1M in snow-making on the training hill......
Like I said someone hinted to me that good things were going to happen soon, but I didn't think it would be this, and frankly I don't think they would have been "in the know" on this necessarily, but who knows.

If this is the case, I would imagine a real "spinny" communique would be forthcoming shortly.
I take the Q's to be prideful people and would be surprised that they would let this leak out in such a manner.
Remember that Q sr owns Q resorts which owns Burke mt and that Q jr is president and CEO.
Even if there is a managerial change, I would expect Q jr to remain as Titular head of the mt.

:-o Whoa
I wonder if St J Academy pulling up stakes and heading to NH is what finally put the situation over the top? When the Academy made that decision, I'm sure there was a well worded letter that went out to the top level administration at Burke and Jay explaining why the school had decided to change their venue for skiing activities.

All of the sudden Q Burke has started reaching out to locals. The poster looks much more professional than what we have seen in the recent past. It looks like a lot of stuff that Jay Peak puts out:
They are still running with that dumb "Q-Burke" thing.
I wonder how many spam/virus Emails they are going to get now that they have burned so many bridges? :lol:

What? You guys don't like the iPhone videos with techno music?
Personally I prefer iPhone videos of guys who can't drive on barely snow-covered mountain roads. I also like videos of empty bars.
Well, those too. I just saw their photos of Facebook of their "work" on the Tamarack to make it a "sports bar theme" and was scratching my head asking, "why?"
I'm also disappointed that the attached advertisement does not say "from the greater Q-Burke Community". But that camp is pretty small.

There is an article in Thursday's Caledonian Record. The official line is that Stenger is helping out in a partnership with Ary Jr. That's not what my source tells me. I don't expect them to publicly say he was kicked to the curb, but who knows to what degree Stenger has taken charge. What's clear is that Ary wasn't cutting it on his own and that the cavalry had to be called in.

Right, but as I said, same thing happened last year. What makes people believe it will be different this year?
And is Bill enough or do locals need confirmation that Ary is completely gone?

+ 1 big time. They need to reestablish credibility. In this case, they need to state unequivocally that Ary has moved on. Sure, save some face, but assure your stakeholders that he has moved on. They don't have to bring out Ary's head on a plate, but be clear as to what is going on. My feeling is that Dad and Jr. are fighting to keep Jr. there out of pride while Bill and company are pointing to the business reasons as to why him continuing on is just dumb.
