Tis the season to wondering what our friends at Vail may or may not be upon to this off season in terms of improvements at the Laurel Highlands resorts.
Any insights? Hoping for a new lift in the next few years on the North Face.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss……
I just viewed the paving job this past weekend. Nothing but a series of small patchwork on the potholes, not a full pave job. Looks like crap. It's my understanding that Nutting still owns the road so this makes sense.
It is my understanding that she owned no Vail stock....NONE. Not much of a commitment to Vail's success, I would say. Maybe she'll go back to being a high fructose corn syrup peddler.

Re HV-
Yep - just a bunch of patchwork. The whole entrance needs to be repaved, rethought, redone. Same for the lodge / base area. Fix the clock. It's ostensibly the centerpiece of your lodge. Doesn't work.
There isn't an easy way to describe the feeling of homeowners sort of held captive. They put their money in, everyone buys passes. Everyone skis. They seem to make bank on HV with all the children learning and all the alcohol sold. They need to put something back in. And by they I mean Vail.

Apparently Vail Resorts is re-organizing the Mountain Division based on type of resort, as opposed to just geography. The mid-Atlantic resorts will be in the Local group, with Tim Harris at the top. Harris grew up in Canada.

How Is Vail Planning To Rebound This Season?! Let's Chat with Tim Harris, Vail's Midwest VP - Oct 2022, YouTube
LOL the Nutting comment. He definitely slots above Vail as an owner. The only comfort I take is that my experience at Breckenridge last season was that Vail's approach there is barely different.
Who'd have thunk the mega-corp monopoly publicly traded owner hasn't been the best for the end user. Shocking.
