Sure, but the real prize money is landing well off families setting up roots at that mountain. Long term big picture. If Jay's late season efforts results in just 1 family setting up roots with them, that's can easily be $100K in revenue stream over the next 15 years for them. That's just in season passes, golf memberships, dining and retail purchases; never mind the overall economic impact to the community with real estate rentals or purchases.
THAT much?:-o I think I'm giving up skiing and retiring early lol. Just a quick calculation..my family of 5 probably outlays $10k year (passes, ski programs, beers, pizza, gear) and that doesn't include housing. Yikes...never really thought of this before lol...some things are just too important or fun to even calculate.
Agree with SkiFanE on all accounts 100%!
I try and NOT look at the quick books line item for annual ski related expenses that my wife keep tracks of, I don't want to be scared off of the fun that we have together as a family
