The "Sugarbush Thread"

Lyme Timber, while a pretty prolific landholder, invests in timberland to manage. Its not a divy up and develop corp, so not necessarily the worst possible steward.

Probably still best for MRG to raise the cash.

well the area for sale is pretty important for mrg skiers. i imagine a timber company wouldn't like people skiing in their at all, let alone cutting or maintaining woods

It seems that Lyme Timber is fairly open to public access to their properties. They are 100% employee owned, seem to be good stewards when it comes to forest management and conservation of properties. It would be better than some of the Canadian companies that bought Ward lumber tracts a few decades ago, cut every tree over 6 to 8" and then sold the land to be subdivided into $$$ house lots.
I agree though, it would be best if MRG bought it and returned it to the rest of the original tract. Betsy had that land logged though out the years as it's in current use which requires logging to be performed according to a forest management plan, which must be developed and approved by a forester.

Check the subject line of Tremblant's email from earlier today; it's not a French language alternate spelling of RESERVE! Digging into it, their pass includes First Tracks / ski valet / VIP parking. I didn't check the cost; nor is it important to me. But, no doubt, it's their response to Alterra's marketing strategy

It’s Alterra’s idea that was dropped on some of its areas.

Fully aware of that. You'd expect a pro organization to be able to spell Rese(r)ve correctly! (Check the subject line of their email; embarrassing)

Well Sugarbush can't spell Riemergasse right in the snow report 9 times out of 10, so I will call it even...
