Interestingly enough, the only reason Spring Mt is still operating is because the major ski shop in the area bought it when it went under - because THEY for one recognize that if novices do not have an affordable and welcoming place to ski, their entire business will soon enough disappear...
That and the property is actually owned by Upper Salford Township who leases it to the ski area. I don't have any idea what the deal is but I'm sure it's not outlandish rent. Probably a percentage of sales or something similar.
