Toggenburg Mountain Sold

[Emily]

The covenant is the perplexing part, as we don’t know the details.

I am completely speculating, but would have to think that Meier required the covenant to prevent Harris from operating three ski areas, as well as preventing a third-party from reopening it if sold.

Then again, when Stu asked Harris if there was any possibility of re-opening Togg should crowds at Lab and Song warrant it, he said that nothing is off the table.

Harris didn’t really pay much for the place considering that he is getting snow cats and snow making equipment out of it. That right there might exceed $750,000 in value.

Given that for sale signs are up, it’s likely just a matter of time before we hear how much Harris is asking for it.

Harris should open the Foggy Goggle. The place was bangin and certainly has a following.

That’s an interesting idea, but I wonder how business would be without the skier traffic. It would be an interesting proposition if Hickey wanted to still run it.

I’m sure if $2 million could be raised, Harris would move mountains to make the deal happen.

I reached out to Peter last week at the same time as Stu. I left the heavy lifting up to him because I knew he'd be much faster. Peter eventually responded saying call me any time. I asked him about the covenant (via email), no response.

It’s moot anyway. Nobody’s going to do anything.

With it's CNY location, Togg could become the mecca of action sports in NYS.

Bring in RA to design/ build the mountain biking. Have the Ditch Bangers design / build the XC dirtbike - wheeler track, and #14 design / build the motorcross and snowcross track. All while the Foggy Goggle is slingin beers and serving up steaks.

A few years before the Wilsons sold Labrador away to Peter, Eric Wilson designed and built a full Motocross racing facility on the lower slopes of Badger and Razorback trails at Lab. As far as anyone could tell it was very popular on weekends with the racers having the current parking lot for camper and trailer parking and the Last Run open for basic beer and food. If anyone now would notice that the bottom lift house on the rope tow is two stories high, that served as the observation / start house ! If you have Google Earth, etc. you can still see the out line of the track. This could be brought back at Toggenburg. Who knows ??

YES! I was being serious.

I just worked the Ditch Banger XC race at GP --- there were 1000's of people there who camped from Friday - Sunday. It had to be a real good weekend for them. There's certainly potential.
