Black Mountain, NH OPEN AGAIN more alive than ever

"Raking in millions off the top of other small ski areas". This monetary assumption is greatly exaggerated...

How so? Assume 100k unit sales at $350 each. (100k feels conservative). That’s $35M in revenue. $29.75M to the resorts. $5.25M to Indy. Plus the additional $1M they collect in useless RFID cards (100k x $10).

$6.25M in revenue annually. Expenses cannot be that high.

Why Indy Pass HQ Is Moving To New Hampshire

After initially planning to make New Hampshire's Black Mountain a Co-Op, the owner of Indy Pass is keeping it in their hands.

According to above article, “more than 30 high-quality jobs” will be moving from Indy’s Colorado headquarters to New Hampshire, joining the Indy employees already there in the Black Mountain attic. So maybe 40 employees x average NH salary of $60,000 (from Google) = 2.4 million right there. Likely much higher as those are being touted as “high quality” jobs and tech industry salaries are higher than average. Then you have to add the cost of health care (national average is around $20k per employee x 40 employees = $800,000) and other benefits, replacing their laptops every couple years, etc.

100,000 RFID cards have to be manufactured and individually shipped to each customer along with other swag, they are not pure profit.

Then there’s sales and marketing expenses, advertising, computer equipment, providing a secure, heated and lighted place for 40 people to work, etc, etc, etc
