Just got confirmation on VPR that Ary Quiros is no longer employed at Burke and has left.

Little Ary should do fine. Don't forget about all of that pretend hospitality industry experience that he has to fall back on. Just like Electric Mike has pretend ski area management experience.

I'm just shocked that an import-exporter from Miami was a poor choice to own and run a New England ski area. Shocked, I tell you!

So I guess you leave Burke off your resume? What do you tell the next guy that interviews you? The mind boggles.

I'd leave it on.

Surely he has made at least one friend up there he can list as "employer contact" who can lie through his/her teeth if need be.

Now it's going to be hurry up and wait with some pain thrown in. As stated, the sale will take quite some time (whose assets are they selling?) and probably not likely Burke opens next winter. All the money will be thrown at Jay to operate. But wait, what money?!

Actually, the receiver said yesterday that the Burke hotel will be the quickest asset of all to be sold. He was anticipating a few months.

This is what scares me. Breaking apart the hotel and ski area is not good for the long term viability of either.
