One change

Temps never getting above freezing until March and then, only on bluebird days.

True; with or without it, it may go under. But either way, a private buyer would enter the fray. Point being, EB-5 was and is totally unnecessary.

I beg to differ. Without the hotel, the only potential buyer, who would see value, would likely be BMA. With the hotel, and the management fee associated with it, along with the increased skier visits, it will open up the mountain to another pool of potential buyers, in that event.

Again, your speaking like getting a $100 M injection of funding is a bad thing, when in fact, any way you slice it, it is most likely good for the viability of the mountain going forward.

Raise the summit of Cannon to just over 10K!

Maybe you'd be able to ski in July, during the one week of the year that there wasn't 200+ mph winds!

I get it. You snowboarder. May be, we should make it a skier's only chair.

This.

Open a little later but stay open as late as possible. More people need to ski in spring.

I have very, very small wants. The world is good (despite what you might here)

I tend to disagree with you. Sure, they may be operating but EB-5 funding aside, both would be barely operable and not seeing the opportunities that may come their way through this means of funding. It's effectively an economic stimulus package for these more rural VT mountains. Sure, I also don't like all the political/economic strings attached and question whether these loans will be paid back, but plopping a 100+ bed hotel at mid-Burke can only help, not hurt, the sustainability of the mountain.

history has shown that whenever a golden parachute of financing has appeared on the ski scene,bankruptcy soon followed!! can you name the ones that went belly up over junk bonds?

How about no friggin' rain storms right in the middle of ski season? That'd be great. Thanks.

More multi-mountain pass options here on the east coast. (like Epic Pass out west). It would be nice to see some of our local hills down here team up with some larger resorts up north. It would definitely drive me to those resorts.

All gapers MUST wear day glow strips on their gear (Similar to crossing guards) and a warning patch on their helmets and jackets.

To be honest, after I first skiied at a vail resort using the Epic Pass, part of me kind of wished they would buy some eastern resort. They have really cool systems set up with their RFID passes and they also have some of the cheapest season passes in the business. Plus, Vail Resorts tends not to neglect the lift systems of their various resorts. However, I've obviously heard bad things about these mega-corporations (Vail specifically but other companies too) so it would probably not be a change for the better.

That's a great one. Terrain is awesome just too many pine trees

Magic carpet up Hellbrook so I could do laps on a pow day

Lift tickets that come with a "get out of jail free" card to use on my wife and employer.
