I know a little about Les Otten's history.... 1. Is he gonna run this into the ground, like American Ski Company.

I want to get excited about this, but Otten is everything wrong with skiing...

He always overreaches and then goes bust, leaving someone else to pick up the mess he made. He should be banned from owning a ski area for life. I can't believe the suckers who keep loaning money to him.

Other people's money. That's Otten's biz model. He cant be charged with crimes after ASC, because he didn't commit any, from what I can tell. He's a grifter, who doesn't care that he left businesses in bankruptcy and shareholders and RE "investors" screwed over, he got his, in spades, and here we go again...There's a fool born every minute, and this guy is a wealthy man living off those fools. It's a very American thing. Snake oil was sold the same way in the nineteenth century.

Yes, I definitely took lessons from the GP ski school. That said, the biggest lesson I learned from a Richardson was chasing his son around the hill.
