VAIL SUCKS

[Edd]

Ikon could use another NH area or two.

Come on Bobby! Let's make a deal!

Interesting to ponder if Ikon would legit run them differently.

Cat run like it once was would give me serious pause to consider iKon. I can't do it with Loon as the only NH pass, but a 5 month Cat season with serviceable snowmaking would be hard for me to pass up.

I think Vail would shutter a place before selling it off. Has Vail ever sold off an entity?

Is any of Wildcat private land or is it all leased from USFS? I don't know if you can maintain the lease and cease operating the concession.

Maybe those Jersey guys that bought Killington would want to add Atticat to their roster

No, but it's going to happen eventually.

I think Katz returning likely bought them some time, but Prince claims activist investors are starting to look into Vail. Now, he could be full of crap, but I doubt it, because it makes a lot of sense to me financially.

If it happens, it will likely be a couple more years as this Katz reset seems to infer that each resort will be operated in a certain tier class, and each resort will be able to market its own vibe/culture once again. For example, Mount Snow has brought back their "We " marketing angle that began begore Vail bought Peak.

How they choose to operate or limit operations at certain properties remains to be seen if theres any appreciable changes
