Toggenburg Mountain Sold

I think it’s the judgement phase which will be telling. It could be a medicine-worse-than-the-disease situation

Who knows?
What’s this mean?
"The People’s request for injunctive and other equitable relief is denied without prejudice. The Court will schedule further proceedings and take additional briefing with respect to the issue of an appropriate remedy under the present circumstances."

Emphasis added.

Attorney General James Takes Action Against Central New York Ski Resorts for Unfair and Illegal Practices

AG James Sues Intermountain for Buying Competitor and Shutting It Down to Reduce Competition Greek Peak Mountain Owner to Pay $195,000 for Illegal Noncompete

ag.ny.gov

This is good work by NYS. These owners of Greek Peak (John H. Meier) and Intermountain (Peter Harris and Richard Sykes) were screwing the local workforce with no poach agreements and screwing local skiers and borders by reducing their choices and by closing Togg. Disgusting.

"The OAG ended these illegal agreements and Mr. Meier will pay $195,000 to the state, which is the amount he was paid by Intermountain for the agreement. Mr. Meier is also required...

After awhile maybe NYS may have enough to have ORDA’s zippy coaster team's uniforms.

This entire lawsuit makes no sense to me. It seems like a waist of time. Don't get me wrong, it totally sucks another ski area here in CNY has been closed, nobody is in favor of that. That said, anyone who were to buy a ski area, especially in NYS, should have their heads examined. I mean, the writing was on the wall. Why do you think Hickey originally sold it.

Whoever makes the movie and/or writes the book on this story could possibly make some $ to help keep the bumps open.

The original NYS AG action appears to use the word “independent" twice.
A quick perusal of some of the recently filed docs doesn’t seem to mention the word “independent” nor “indy”...

If the Black Mtn thingyworks out in NH maybe folks can learn from that effort & apply it to Togg.

Who knows, maybe Song & Lab could join Indy & it'll be one big happy family.
In The Alps in Yurp some folks just ski from place to place...

I don't like the premise of an attorney/judge/government telling someone what they can or cannot do with property they own.
The whole skiing monopoly thing is laughable.

The first time I clicked on it I could read it. Now it's paywall for me as well. Weird because normally their stuff isn't paywalled

I looked around on the syracuse.com website. I could read the editorial on Toggenburg, still couldn't open the article.
