Wachusett Opens "Tenney Style"

[bvibert]

I was wondering that too. Did they blow it or truck it in from somewhere? I can't imagine it got cold enough up there yet to blow that much snow...

Errraahhhh...want me to ask?

Yes, please...

Marketing dropped the ball on this one.
I don't care what resort you are, if you have snow in September for an event you do a press release, get media there, post content on your website and put the hype machine into overdrive. It is free advertising and with a pass deadline coming up they must be losing their damn minds.

Couldn't agree more, I couldn't believe that I didn't hear anything about this until it was happening...

Got two e-mails out there waiting for an answer.

Yeah, I didn't think I was that crazy. I mean, I know it is using the hype machine to your advantage but it just seems foolish to not exploit it as good PR, or as a gentle reminder for people to renew their century passes.

Wasn't sure if I was going too overboard... I did happen to work for a resort that was big on ideas like this ;-)

I'm glad you said this OZ. I would have gone supported it and spent a dollar also.

Still there, 2 days later. That'll make a decent base if they get into an early opening.

Sky, who did you e-mail, Jeff Crowley, Tom Meyers or Shannon Christa?

Yeah, I was in Worcester this weekend. Had I known there was snow there I would have been skiing on it. Not to mention shooting a zillion images , video and 360 for my own personal websites.

Wachusett frustrates me sometimes, ugh.

They did adverise it, partially.

"Returning to kids fest is out man-made snow slide! Come play in the snow in September!"

However, most of us took it as they were talking about snow tubing which threw us off.

Poor copy, perhaps.

Night skiing #2, they're still using the box, playing in the rain.

I first launched to JC, then to Dianne Drury...she forwarded me on to TM.

I departed work @ 4:30 today...chiro appt...jocked my back @ hoops. One "lunge" by the chiro and I bounced off the table. I think I'm better.

Anyway, I hope to have a response when I get in tomorrow. Can't check e-mail from home anymore. It's a good and bad thing. We'll talk later.

...and Ozzie...

Nice new photo pal.

Head shot?
