I just read that Katz recently bought $5mil more shares bringing his vail holdings to $40mil.

insider buying is usually a good sign. not so sure this instance

also, I read that vail spent about a billion repurchasing shares since 2022 in an effort to support the stock price. they paid way above current market value.

I guess they just dont have enough $ left over for a robust snowmaking effort at wildcat using all that $ to try and pump / support the stock price.

Other than Peak renovating the 4th pump house Wildcat hasn't had a pump upgrade in 30 years. Neither has Attitash, same thorn pond pumps, same attitash pond pumps...yeah some new guns but you got to have the water and air. Attitash used to rent a half dozen portable compressors to help with air, that also went away after Vail.

Imagine how many new chairlifts and snowmaking upgrades that billion dollars could have funded
