Gunstock Management team resigns

[hammer]

At least the campground is still open...but this whole situation is messed up. Hope it can be settled in time for ski season.

Sunnunu Came right out and called out the commisions bullshit and for their replacement.

I saw Sunnunu yesterday at the State House. He was getting in his car and he didn't get in...
I was hanging with a buddy across the street and we thought somethings happening. I only loosely now The Governor, butt when I walk into his office and ask for help (I just leave a note for him) I always get a response. I like the guy.

More reading: the Times covered the Free State Project last week.

The Globe has an article with some fun information: when management arrived to serve out their two weeks, they were escorted off the property and the locks were changed.

I hope they are able to reopen in time for ski season, but honestly I wouldn't feel safe riding a lift there if it is being run by the commission.

On of my buddy - roos has tickets for a Jazzfest or something in the next couple of weeks.

God willing, the Festivus will not be for not.

I just got done reading the GAC meeting minutes - WOW!!!! That place is screwed with the current GAC and BCC. The March 1, 2022 meeting minutes is pretty sad.

I’m sorry but when someone says “has ties to organizations believed to be funded in large measure by George Soros” is just code for right wing republican extremist to just trust the person writing said text. No better way to raise the hackles of the right than to mention George…..

(((you almost got there. )))

and yes, that's how fucked up these people are

When the mangement teamm showed up for work today they where fired from what I have read. They had given 2 weeks notice.

Gunstock’s now-former GM: ‘Integrity’ led to management staff’s resignation - New England Ski Journal

Tom Day had been prepared to offer his resignation ever since a contentious exchange at last month’s meeting of the Gunstock Area Commission.

If Tom Day must part ways with Gunstock, I asked my wife today to tell him, please go to Wildcat and fix it. Just make it run as well as Gunstock, because he crushed that.

From 10,000 feet this is a certain type of Republican playbook. Real simple. Sell (privatize) public assets and claim you dropped taxes. Basically it's as if you sell your house and rent it back. Gee- I cleared $300K this year! In a totally built out Montclair NJ with no open space they tried to sell the "underused" Erie Park across from my mother's house. They had not taken my mother into account and the park is still there.

He did an incredible job last year. I wouldn't wish Vail on him though!!

I read the line level staff are refusing to work except for weddings and events out of respect to those guests. According to skiology Matt, Rep Harry Bean told the workers to "clock in and get their asses to work" when leadership was booted from the property. They are standing in solidarity with the outgoing leadership.

Any truth to that?

This whole thing reminds me of the Market Basket fiasco several years ago. Hopefully the outcome is similarly favorable.

Why do I see my $49 Golden season pass soon becoming a thing of the past?

 

[JoeB-Z]

That will be the price of the new Golden one day parking fee.

And here’s what it was like to be in the room where it happened:

 

[Newpylong]

Who'd want to work for that committee and be second guessed at every decision and disrespected? It was a very talented team and all ski areas are hiring, best of luck. Bigger loss for the customers than anything.

 

[Abubob]

Unofficial article that puts the whole controversy into a neater package. Definitely anti commission but I haven’t seen any comments that are pro commission.

That’s what the commission wants. Save the house by burning it down.

Stumbled on an article from 2020, when day was hired. Is a salary approaching $200K typical for ski area management? Would have thought it was half that. Must have been seriously miserable to walk away.

Day, the new GM, is earning $175,000 yearly and has the potential for earning an additional 25 percent through a performance bonus. If Day reached the benchmarks that kicked in all of his bonuses, that could bring his total compensation package to $218,750.
