I bet they don't open, then claim that an unopened hotel shouldn't be taxed.........lol
Of course when I build a barn etc. I expect to pay additional taxes as soon as the listers see it is there.
If they don't open until May........beyond epic fail. I thought last week's news was "beds are arriving in anticipation of our early February opening"........what changed?
Condos must be selling like hot cakes........joking aside, I feel slightly bad for our overly optimistic real estate marketing friend. This has to be frustrating as hell for him as well.

As many know, I am not of fan of jr and am skeptical of anything he says. But as I look at their current activities near the hotel, I expect a soft opening pretty soon- like in the next 2 weeks.
-- finishing the magic carpet and blowing snow down the pitch to the hotel
-- public open viewing times last weekend
-- some long time low level retail employees talking about shifting into that building
-- the pools are full
-- rental trucks moving in soft goods and furnishings over the last couple of weeks
Not sure why any of this would be happening if they had made a decision on May.
That said, May makes a ton of sense to me from a business stand point, but they have investors with expectations, public perception, and may other factors that go into the call.

Very good point on the indications that they are preparing to open. It would not surprise me at all if they open sooner than later.
The only wrinkle is that they have said that they need the state to release funds in order to open. And that has not happened yet. So they at least have to get through that hurdle. But the happenings on-site may indicate that they believe they will get over that hurdle soon.
The only thing that can be said with any certainty is that nobody knows when they will open.

Filling the pools is the best sign yet. I can't imagine they would do that if they were not serious.

Just watch. The hotel will sit idle for too long and then they will have a mold problem. But the pool will be nice!

Planning to head to Burke next Saturday using the MyChamplainValley Card. They list 28 trails open including East Bowl and Powderhorn. Are these trails and others that don't receive snowmaking really covered or should I bring rock skis? There doesn't look to be any significant snowfall between now and then.

Rock skis, for sure.

I wonder if the hotel and the services (restaurant, retail shop, day lodge area) on the first floor might open separately? I've also heard the first weekend in February (at least for the retail part).

Nobody can trust what they state for an opening date at this point.

and if you don't tell anybody at least a couple weeks out, who the ferk is going to book it? Who the ferk will know you are open? The locals who live there and have no need for a hotel?
I smell more dumb here......but this whole thing has reeked of dumb for a long time.......

They went from INSISTENCE that this WOULD open by December 11th to now, "well, we will tell you later." Something is wrong here. Really wrong.
