SUNDAY RIVER: 2005 Alpinezone Ski Area Challenge

[ga2ski]

not sure if this may have been answered at some point on the SR board, but here it goes:

I understand Harris Golf is pretty much running the golf course, but is ASC/SR in any talks with Harris about potentially offering a "year-round pass" that would cover both lift tickets and greens fees? I see something like this as an offer quite a few people would take advantage of. Also, with the Harris course eventually going in at Attitash, that opens up the door to tons of possibilities, if ASC and Harris can come to an agreement. Thoughts?

That was never answered or even asked as that exact question on the SR site, but is a very good question.

OK, think we have more than enough to go on here...very good questions! Thanks! Wish I could ask them all, but we are going to have to make some selections We will encourage Susan to read this thread and maybe follow up...fyi Killington reads the AZ forums often :wink: So keep sounding off!

Great job, Susan! I have to say that the ASC resorts are stepping up to the plate and have provided some very forthcoming responses thus far.
:beer:

 

[thetrailboss]

Very, very good responses! Very good questions! I offer a round of applause to everyone involved!

Direct answers. The answer on snow making was as good as one can get. It a business. I like the honest approach. I also feel comfortable they will try to open early again and keep the season going late. These reasons are part of why this mountain is a favorite.

Can you beat her in a race, Bob? I say we set up a date and time for you two to duke it out!

Good answers again from an ASC mountain. I think it's a testament to Greg and the people of this site that ASC's Corporate Affairs and Media Relations department deems us important enough to accept and respond so quickly on these challenges. Kudos!

Wow some picture. I'd have a grin ear to ear too if I were in that pow!

There were a few key shots of her in the powder this year. Hard to sit at the desk and watch someone using my powder.

The two seasons prior I won't get into simply because they were two of the most challenging seasons that the northeast has ever faced

Huh?

Huh?

My feeling/understanding was no much early season snow and alot of freeze-thaw condtions.

That's how I took it as well.
