Surprised there is no JP option for the remainder of the season. Just to comp for the uncertainty and angst.
Hope the sale goes smoothly and lots of natural falls in January to help the new owners off to a good start.
Glad to see they're taking care of their pass holders.

Sounds promising. Just hope it's not Q-Saddleback (Q-back...?).

Great news! I hope the new owners have deep pockets.
Curious if they open with the old chair that was claimed to need replacement.

It is a long hike if they do not open it. Yes, deep pockets and a sense of humor.
+1. Glad that they broke the silence. Add to the fact that this was a good season to not be open at this point. Certainly sounds like this will be going through.

That would be nice for the pass holders, obviously.
Here's many possibilities for what JP could stand for since it's apparently difficult to get to the bottom of this.

I had no idea on almost all of those.
I may try and convince my wife that she should refer to me as her JP in association with number 4 on that list.

They have provided an option for those that want to get out and ski elsewhere, and provided incentive for those willing to hang in there with them. As a purchased passholder I am satisfied with those options. Hopefully lift serviced turns will happen this year.
I wrote up an article on my blog providing more thoughts and details for those interested.

Nice write up. Very happy to hear the news on Friday.
Curious what option you guys are going with?

We are definitely hanging in there and will go with one of the 50% options depending on opening date. Still working through ski plans for the Xmas holiday and January. Would be a heck of a lot easier if there was more snow on the ground! Oh well.

That Shawnee option seems pretty nice----cheap pass to get you through the next 6 weeks and then a hedge against Saddleback deal falling thru/getting additionally delayed.

Agreed. That is the leading option for us at the moment.

While they "hope" to be open in later January, lots of things can happen to delay a closing. I see that you recognized this in your blog entry. That's why it's nice that they are offering a couple of different options.
I'm not sure what I would choose at this point. It's not as if you are missing great skiing right now. My greatest fear would be whether or not they have sufficient liquidity to refund all of the season passholders if the deal falls through. That fear alone might lead me to take a full refund now and go with Shawnee.
