Ary Sightings?

Does Ary still have a presence on Mtn Road? or he is "on vacation" as this lovefest continues?

Walk the talk. SMI was onsite today to begin marking installation points for the polecat and super polecat snow making guns on the training hill. Our snowmaking team has a preliminary schedule developing with construction beginning in the next two weeks. We'll continue to keep you posted as things progress but exciting stuff for sure!

This post has a different feel to it.....kicking it off with that phrase has a meaning behind it....we'll see.

If Ary was still driving things we would have had a shitty cell phone video of a stake in the ground with surveyors tape on it with techno in the background......

I saw him headed up mtn road a couple days ago. My understanding is that he's still "there".

I got an Email today extolling the virtues of the Q Burke Bike Park. :roll: Still some presence.......

Not surprised, but I will repeat my earlier thinking. If he is there, he is the leader (it is after all their families $)-- everything else is window dressing. We KNOW that he does not have the best interest of 3 of his 4 constituencies at heart- the employees, the local community, and the customers (arguably he thinks he has the best interest of #4, ownership, at heart). No amount of Bill S. training is going to fix that.

If he is still there the vibe won't change - guaranteed !

+ 1. He has pushed SJA out. LI is next. Why, why?

Betcha that's all it amounted to today.

Did anyone attend the "community night" at the Tamarack Grill?

Partially cooked pizza dough with some salad greens on it?

That's flatbread and it was good. Jr was no where to be found. They did a nice job with the renovations.

Good to hear they did a nice job on the renovations......

And good to hear Jr was no where to be found.....

All new tables on deck too. Service was good again and staff seem happy. The downhill biking is opening this weekend ahead of schedule, and Ideride posted they will be adding new trails over the summer. Seems positive to me. I can also report rental market for summer is far better than last year at this time.

Guess it was downhill later...when Art arrived.

wait...what? q showed up?

 

[ablb]

Yes...guess later on and friend (local) said two hours to get his food.

I'm not sure how his presence could cause that unless he hopped behind the grill and can't cook volume.

Sounds like it got busier than expected and they were short staffed at many positions.
