Plattekill Conditions

You should post the independent-ski-area best practices that Laszlo has shared with you, or at least the Top Ten.

Concur with this

 

[Harvey]

I would have to guess at it, and I know I don't have ten.

Don't borrow money. Each year spend a portion of profit on infrastructure (aka snowmaking etc). If there is no profit don't spend it.

Guests buy the experience. Maintain yield to maintain the experience.

"Modernize, don't corporatize."*

*He actually said this when asking my opinion (gasp) on the double.

FWIW I am lobbying for the double to the end. I am not hopeful about the outcome. Important to note, my preference is a romantic ideal, his call will be a business decision. And yea, it's his money.

The double chairs are in good shape. Many have been replaced recently.

I learned last year while the chairs do have value, most of the value lies in the grips. Good chairs with bad grips aren't worth much and good grips on bad chairs do have value.

I also learned recently that the double and triple have different haul rope diameters. The triple chairs from Windham fit the double, not the current triple.

Personally I don't see any reason why you'd need to increase the uphill capacity of the double. I've never seen a line on the double outside of a line for first chair on a powder day.

i believe the thinking is triples have more room and skiers like it.

Sounds like the lift at Windham from which these chairs are coming was short, probably shorter than the Platty double. Triple chairs….but fewer of them than the current number of double chairs….may equal the same capacity??

Clicked to see the prices and was mildly surprised Platty early season pass is 739. For comparison Whitefish Mt. pass is 719 early price thru 9/30.

Id probably compare it to Magic. same type of mountain with same operating schedule. It's 649 at Magic.

Does Magic spin on Thursdays?
