I'm sure that there are some great deals to be had.
Have we heard from the marketing dept lately?

Three snowmaking trails are open that constitute one run from the top to Mid Burke. Two natural snow trails with advisories for thin cover.
They are hurting.

Soooo disappointed in Q Burke. I originally had a ski in and ski out package for 9 people for Jan 8th. When the property called to tell me they hadnt finished building the accommodation and could not accommodate my large party size for the same package I was upset but they helped us rebook for the Jan 22nd. NOW they tell us again that they cannot accommodate us because they are still not done building!!!!! I dont think any of us will ever go back to this mountain. You would think their sister Peak would atleast be able to honor our Ski in and SKi out rates.... nope HUGE upcharge!

Nobody could have predicted that reaction, huh?

I'm fairly certain there are many stories out there like this seeing as how they were taking reservations for what turns out to be 2 months ahead of when they will eventually open. Then again, will they open?
It appears the excuse given to this poster was that they are "still not done with the building"; based on the lack of activity around the hotel the past couple weeks, one must wonder if there is any significant progress being made to finishing it off. Are they still waiting for actual furnishings?
Based on the forecast for the next 2 weeks it doesn't look like anything more than the token dustings are in the future...which sucks all around. Before that piss poor forecast I was going to say that any real dumping would be a positive demand for condo rentals at least. But no snow, no people, no hotel, no revenue......
Is there a snow god that deals specifically with arrogance, ignorance and apathy? If so, I'd suggest praying to that one
+ 1
+3 or so
Sorry but I can't be sympathetic for Q at all. He's reaping what he sows.

I didn't see anything at all yesterday. I just assumed that it was interior work going on. The only thing I saw was the installation of the magic carpet. The east wing didn't appear to be heated. The west wing seemed to have a boiler running.

The trail report says that they dropped the ropes on Upper Dipper. I definitely didn't see that one coming. That has got to be some seriously thin cover.
The silence about the hotel and around the hotel is deafening.
Looks like the earliest date they are accepting room reservations is 1/25.....
Given the number of rooms/suites that need to be furnished/finished I would think the only way they hit that date would be to see mass activity begin early next week at the latest and that would be aggressive, right? At least based on the bits and pieces I've read/heard there is an issue with furnishings and payment of furnishings.
If the the physical furnishings are at least in the hotel or on site they have a shot, if they still need to be shipped,delivered etc. then there is a goodly number of trucks that need to show up and be unloaded, installed etc.
Assuming they can pull off the physical building portion by the 25th........
I'm still curious about the staffing of the hotel......this isn't like staffing the Tamarack......to effectively provide the service expected in this hotel will take a few well trained bodies and management.
Or did I miss something?

Stenger was quoted last week in the Caledonian Record as saying that the opening date for the hotel would be announced early this week. I guess that's yet another deadline missed.
I thought I read that but then I started wondering since we didn't hear anything this week.......I thought I "misremembered"......
