Jay Peak bombshell

What browser are you using? On Chrome the functionality of that map is a total disaster
On Firefox it doesn't even seem to fully load...

I think it's a step in a really cool direction though.
I think a map like mammoth' s would actually really benefit a place like Jay. Jay, more than most eastern resorts, skis bigger and has cooler terrain than a traditional trail map really captures, IMO.
that's why I like the Orford one so much. It does a decent job of showing the terrain and navigating around the different peaks and mountain faces in addition to navigating well for each trail and lift. You can scroll over the trail on the map and have the name pop up with open/closed status or you can scroll on the list on the side and accomplish the same thing. I think a similar style map would work great for Jay. Just break it up between Tramside, Bonnie area and Stateside and zoom in for the individual lift and trail status.

Chrome. It worked fine but I did notice the fan turned on. Now that I think about it my last laptop would not have run that page very well.

That Orford interactive trail map was cool, I did get a message on Firefox that it could slow my browser, but it wasnt too bad.
The Mammoth interactive trail map was the best I've ever seen, but it took a while to load and my laptop's fan turned on, which I assume means it was working hard.

A major development in the case against Quiros:

Even more interesting....another sign that the Vermont EB-5 office is soon to be dead:

The latest. As predicted, some investors are being denied green cards because their projects have not created enough jobs. The Receiver seems to think that this is based on "outdated data" and that the USCIS will ultimately reconsider.

Quiros settles for 81 millions. Stenger pays 75k.

....and Quiros turns over the resorts to the SEC.

That’s hard to say. It’s possible that Stenger’s penalty is going to sting much more than Quiros’ when you factor in their net worth.
So what are the predictions from here? Will the resorts sell together? If not, will Burke have a serious bidder?
I’ve always said that Intrawest should buy Jay. A Tremblant-Jay pass would corner the Montreal market.

im surprised one of the major players hasn't snatched up jay/burke yet. its plug and play. brand new hotels, tons of condos, the ice facility and waterpark, a loyal skier base. i just hope its not vail.
They aren't really on the market as of yet. Soon though!
You mean Alterra? Intrawest is no more.

It would not surprise me if we see an announcement sooner than later. There must have been some discussions happening behind closed doors.

The resorts will likely only "sell together" if behind the scenes they essentially force would-be buyers to take Burke if they want Jay Peak. I think that's a strong possibility of what could happen, and if so, you'll never know it because it wont be admitted.
Sadly, because money is still (for the moment) cheap, I do believe one of these major ski conglomerates will snatch this purchase up in another bid at one of these annoying mega-pass structures. In other words, hello $89 Jay Peak day rates with no discounts.

Interesting tid-bit from that article listing Q-assets. Every media outlet etc... constantly talks about the Trump apartment in NYC whenever this story comes up, because..... Trump name.
But the list also notes an apartment located at 400 Fifth Avenue, which I guarantee cost more money than the Trump Riverside apartment.
