Jay Peak and Killington questions have both been sent and I am waiting on the responses to get them posted.

Typically I follow up about once a week once I send the questions out.

How about adding in a new category for ski shops?

Not sure what I'd ask at the moment, but I always like hearing from MRG, and Eric does a great job answering questions. And how could we omit MRG?

Also, I don't personally have much interest, but if others do, the Plattekill owner(s) also seem to be very friendly to their customers, and I figure would do a good, honest job answering questions.

what kind of questions would you ask of particular ski shops?

Just curious. never thought of a ski shop challenge

I can think of a few to ask any shop: What demo's can you offer, how much and can these charges be subtracted from a subsequent purchase? Do you plan on offering AT or Tele equipment? How would you repair a core shot?

Shops could be: Pishe's, Rodgers, Lahouts, IME, Ragged Mt Equipment (not to be confused with the resort but while we're taking about Ragged) Sport Thoma.

How about Killington? Certainly now that they are open, they can take a few minutes to answer 10 questions. If not they should've just declined; either way there will be backlash posts.

In all seriousness, do you think that they care about the 'survey'? This is the site that sent out a newsletter with serious misinformation about their lodge after Irene which was never corrected.

They are open. Who else is?

Nick how much longer for Hunter's answers?

I still have to get them aggregated... been a lot more work than I originally thought! I hope to get them done and shipped off next week. Turnaround time for most mountains has been anywhere from 1 - 5 weeks so far.
