Odd they are still holding off on announcing ticket prices for this season which has already started in that region
Based on one of the pictures I saw on social media, they are implementing RFID at the resort. On top of the new website. I imagine that they will get that info up soon.

So - maybe they do need a bigger pond, but I'm not really sure the pond is even the problem they're dealing with here - bigger pond clearly doesn't help if you haven't been able to fill the current pond in the first place.

Jon Schafer certainly knows how to run a ski area and a snowmaking system, so I'm reasonably confident that they've got a sensible investment plan/read on Burke's needs - this isn't one of the "guy with money but no experience buys a ski area and doesn't know what he's doing" situations.

A bigger reservoir would benefit them all around. They'd be able to take more water from the river when it's flowing and have it for when there's little to no flow
