Toggenburg Mountain Sold

[tirolski]

"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 to cooperate with OAG’s litigation against Intermountain.

As part of the lawsuit against Intermountain, Attorney General James is seeking to require Intermountain to sell one of its resorts and rescind its illegal noncompete agreement. In addition, Attorney General James is seeking monetary relief for the ill-gotten gains from Toggenburg customers forced to move to Intermountain, and civil penalties for Intermountain’s unfair and illegal business practices."

The lawyers win as usual in this.

Nobody bought Togg this past year when folks could buy it and make it a "ski resort” again.

Who’s gonna wanna buy a mandated sale for one of Intermountain's 3 bumps with one of em being shuttered for a bit?

Guess it’ll be more business to New York State’s ORDA “resorts"?

From exhibit 2.

Appears Harris paid $195K for the covenant to “Mr. Meier" whose supposed to now give $195K to NYS.

But this won't create more skiers or more sustainable ski areas in CNY.

Exactly

It's ironic that the folks (NYS) who already have a monopoly on skiing are accusing someone of having a monopoly on skiing in Syracuse. Syracuse!!! Just saying that makes me laugh.

Talked with my ski buddy this morning and he mentioned with the recent announcement for Micron coming there should be mo money for the ski “industry” around the area...

That is a legit point. Rules for signage were an issue in the 1960s. Gore was allowed to have signage and private areas were restricted. That big green sign on the northway with all the ski areas and their exits is supposed to help rectify that.

Your point could be applied to many businesses beyond skiing.

Can't find anyone who wants to work anyway.
There are jobs, damn good ones, all over the place and nobody wants to work.

Isn’t that gravy train about to run out of tracks? I mean, aren’t there limits on collecting unemployment?

The low 3.5% unemployment rate seems to contradict "nobody wants to work". There are just not enough workers in certain areas of the US. An updated immigration program could help add workers to areas of need.
