JAY PEAK: The 2008 AlpineZone Ski Area Challenge

[tcharron]

Funny though that that will actually discourage Steve from contributing here. I think the past format has worked great, but for reps who are as active as Steve, do you think it would work to just let him respond as we go? I guess the danger there is that the questions go on forever or become repetitive, and Steve has to do something else aside from responding to questions on AZ Maybe do the 10-question thing, but leave the thread unlocked so that Steve can respond to any additional questions at his leisure if he desires?

I'm liking that idea best, gather questions, post responses in a special thread, and let the comments ensue.

Hey Steve! Hope you're having a great summer!

You probably know what my question will be about but here goes nothing:

With the recent transaction, Jay Peak will need to focus more on being a four-season destination. As golf is on the decline and outdoor sports are on the rise, and with all the public land available around the area, what are the possibilities for Jay to become a summer destination for outdoor enthousiasts?

The real question is: Will Jay Peak ever bring back their mountain bike program like in the 90s? As Stowe Manager told us last year at the VMBA convention, it only cost pennys compare to a golf course to have a great mountain bike program... Sugarbush seems to be doing well and are putting lots of efforts into it... Stowe is considering opening a bike park... Bolton should be back next year... With all the effort put on by VMBA to offer more mountain biking opportunity, Jay could be the next "resort" to offer miles and miles of singletrack and have an "already-running" Tram give you some epic lift-served mountain biking....

Lots of people on the staff mountain bike...

Thanks!

tw--let me try and get this one started, here, in the present and thanks for the good questions.

....

I'm sure I've missed lots here so just let me know and I'll try my best to readdress. The other questions I'll take in the official forum but we can continue this one in the here and now if you'd like.

Thanks

Steve has only answered selective questions leaving many unanswered.

I remember him saying he was only going to answer some, but then I seem to remember him doing a complete job anyways. I haven't gone back to double check, though, so I could be wrong. This thread has been bumped up now, so maybe Greg or a mod will see it and decide to actually make it into a formal "challenge."
