That could allow me to field a "why do resorts generally do x?"/QUOTE]

I would be very careful how you select your questions. You don't want them to perceive you are asking obvious questions "duh". You don't want to risk them finding this a waste of time.

I'm guessing we won't be too "light" on the questions around here. In any event, it will be an interactive process with the members here. We probably can't make everyone happy, but I will do my best to help select a broad range of questions for the participating resorts.

Thankfully you have a lot to work with from a historical standpoint. Good and not so good questions/answers. I would urge to not regurgitate annual dead horse topics to an extent that folks will let you. :)

Yup. As a side note: I'm doing my best to get as high up to the top as possible but in some cases we do get the marketing people, so we will do our best to cut through and get clear answers to the questions you guys and gals have!

With that many Ski Area Challenges going out and the resulting sticky threads at the top of the main Skiing and Snowboarding forum, should a new sub-forum be created under Skiing and Snowboarding?

Hey guys, I know I saw an email about the ski area challenge on my blackberry, but I can't find it in my outlook now and it was deleted off the blackberry. Stupid technology. Magic would love to participate so go ahead and send me another invitation.

We had a Peak Resorts general before, but I hadn't reached out yet.

I'm gone for the weekend but I will do it probably Monday evening.
