Big Burke announcement

[Big Wave Dave]

Pub, coffee shop, steak house, fitness, hot tub and pool, ski/rental shop, arcade, store, cafeteria. In think that's most of them

I cant imagine they are going to open the fitness center/hot tub and pool to non-hotel guests?

I stayed at both the Tram Haus and the new Hotel jay on some great pre christmas deals the year each of them opened and both had issues yet were well worth the $ because the skiing was pretty good for that time of year both times and the rates they offered were low enough to offset any inconveniences. I am sure it always takes some time to train staff and get everything working properly.

Correction: I remembered that we stayed at the Tram Haus later in the season on some great deal they were offering... it was either late Feb. or early March. The issues were fairly minor but inconvenient.

I think that was something that was kicked around briefly but the answer was "no". Not even for condo owners.

At Jay you can use the hottub outside the water park without paying anything.

Is this true? You have to walk passed the water park desk to get there. I guess I just never asked.

I have - you don't get ticketed until you go down the stairs to the water park. You can hang at the bar with out buying entry and the hot tub is right out the door from the bar. I have hung there while the kids did the water park and the wife and I used the hot tub.

And don't bring your pet with you to the QHotel or else you will be "evicted".

And don't bring your pet with you to the QHotel or else you will be "evicted".

The Killington Grand has the same policy, no pets. Not only will you be immediately evicted without refund you will also be charged an additional $250 cleaning fee.

OK, but "evicted?" How about, "asked to leave the premises?"

There may be "legal reason" for the terminology.

I agree that one sounds harsher than the other, but If you break the rules, you deserve to be evicted.

Hotel guests have a mere license to occupy the premises that can be terminated at any time. They are not evicted per se. There's no legal reason to say that. I just was saying that there is a more diplomatic way to tell prospective guests what will happen if they break the rules.

I'm surprised that the Caledonian Record has yet to have an article about Q Burke applying for night skiing. If I were Q Burke, I'd be very happy if no article was written.

Yes, you don't want a greeting like a couple of local dingbats gave to Crotched. Oh the light pollution! Despair!

What are you talking about? I'm sure that the contractor just needed a little break from all the hard work.

This seemed fairly obvious to a lot of us:

At the very least, the opening of the hotel, conference center and sports center will be postponed, according to Bill Stenger, CEO of Jay Peak Resort and developer of Q Burke. The resort expansion was set for a Dec. 11 opening until “the delays by DFR put this date at risk,” Stenger said.

And who is really to blame?

In communications obtained by VTDigger through a public records request, Donegan says that the delayed payments to PeakCM are the result of the developers “unresponsiveness” to requests for information from DFR. Donegan wants “a clear understanding of the monies that have moved through Q Burke account and what the balance is.” She goes on to say, “Let me explain.” The next portion of the email is redacted.

Uh oh.....

Donegan and DFR staff raise additional questions in 429 pages of communications about the developers’ use of funds for the project and communications with immigrant investors.
