How did you prove your Canadian residency ?
You didn't have to. As a UVM student in the 90s, we'd just go to a local bank and exchange our money for Canadian dollars.

How did you prove your Canadian residency ?
Viper Pit is the black diamond section of Skyeburst, correct ? But what is Anti-Venom, is it the blue bypass on skiers right of Viper Pit ?
Sounds like POWDR. Spending money on shiny toys and not what is really needed.Viper Pit and Anti Venom funny enough were on the map at one point.
Overall, I don't think POWDR was a "bad" steward of the mountain. I just think somewhere along the lines the priorities started to veer away from industry best practices and what perhaps could have been the best ROI for the amount of capital they were willing to put in. Imagine the amount of snowmaking improvements that could have been made for the price of the K-1 lodge? Luckily Rutland county has an escalator that doesn't work now though.

I don't know if it's true but I heard Vail offered substantially more then the current deal, and Powdr said they wouldn't sell to Vail. I also heard they were in talks with AlterraSounds like POWDR. Spending money on shiny toys and not what is really needed.
One thing from the Mountain Times article that stood out was that several deals had fallen through prior to this one. It would be interesting to know who those potential buyers were.
Vail may have been interested but I can't imagine that wouldn't trigger antitrust issues for them. That would give them Mt. Snow, Okemo and Stowe. Way too much of the market, especially South/central VT.I don't know if it's true but I heard Vail offered substantially more then the current deal, and Powdr said they wouldn't sell to Vail.

On the flip side, gotta think that today's anti trust world in the age of Google and Amazon, that anti trust issues aren't as stringently enforced as they were sat 30yrs ago!Vail may have been interested but I can't imagine that wouldn't trigger antitrust issues for them.

Seriously, not as strictly enforced today? What about the low cost airline mergers? JetBlue and Spirit were blocked to "maintain competitive balance" but both are now shrinking and likely to both go into bankruptcy. Hawaiian and Alaska are trying, but DOJ has them in review as well. I'd say anti-trust under the current administration has ramped up significantly. No way Vail would have gotten K over the goal line.On the flip side, gotta think that today's anti trust world in the age of Google and Amazon, that anti trust issues aren't as stringently enforced as they were sat 30yrs ago!
