Some of you might have seen that a New York State judge determined that Intermountain's purchase of competing Toggenburg Ski Area, before shutting it down to maintain marketshare of the company's two competing ski areas, violated state anti-trust law. It is not clear what will happen, but Intermountain could face stiff fines and might have to resell the ski area.

Same thing happened to Les in '96, the early days of ASC.
They were forced to sell Waterville after acquiring both Attitash and Cranmore

At least Les didn’t permanently close any of the resorts he purchased.
