Black Mountain, NH OPEN AGAIN more alive than ever

[snoseek]

That's what happens when an area gets flooded with people that don't work locally. Stuff needs to get more expensive and workforce housing needs to happen asap. I heard the market basket is finally gonna open thus week though.

That comment right there. Restaurants in Bartlet and Conway all complaining they cant find workers. Ridiculous lines to just get breakfast. Good luck to Black

When Market Basket first had a job fair, expected 100+ people to show up, only 8 came all hired on the spot. Now they are bused daily from Noco to another location because they don’t want to lose them once they someday do open. I assume they are gonna bus others TO Noco to get it open.

In NH contractors are brought in from Mass and Tenn. There must be a more efficient way.

Black is opening Saturday, one run from the triple. Good to see.

Especially considering Jackson got 6” of rain on Monday!

He was on Fox & Friends this morning with John Fichera. Fox chose the chyron "Historic Ski Resort Survives Bidenomics"

More like energy and insurance rates that have been climbing unsustainably over the past 10 years, drastic weather swings, pissing off core employees, etc and so on. Fox could somehow politicize the color of your pants.

Guy speaks pretty good off the cuff for the camera! Indy doesn't work for my personal situation, but I wish them the best.

Should have gone with "Hisoric Ski Resort Survives Crazy Owner Who Yells At His Customers For No Good Reason".

Saw the double spinning on Saturday. Skied there a few weeks back. Any updates on a potential sale?

 

[Newpylong]

Nothing figured out yet on that front.

Not good, around here you need to stay open through March. Maybe next year, change the name to (not sure), butt Black in Maine is solid and they're 90 miles away.

The same crew who put in a 2022 offer for the Cat are not interested in Black

Maybe MT

I mean, do you blame them?

lol it’s a great fun mountain, but you’re constantly working against nature with the southern exposure. Not to mention the aging infrastructure on pretty much all fronts.

I was hoping the double spinning was a good sign, why bother to get it running if they don’t have a buyer.

Time will tell I suppose. Thanks everyone.

I was there today. The poma was turning along with the triple. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon.

I chatted with an employee who said he hadn’t heard any news. Haven’t heard much chatter around town either.

It has been pretty active this season despite the snow. Friday nights have had the lot over half full. Weekends seem busy.
