Toggenburg Mountain Sold

Here's my thoughts based on the info I currently have:

Is the Executioner Coming for Yet Another Classic Ski Area?

Did Song and Labrador Just Buy Toggenburg? If so, will the Central New York duo add Toggenburg to its superpass, or shut it down?

Thanks for sharing that, Stu.

As I speculated earlier, and you eluded to in your article, I think GP owners got out while the getting is still semi good. I still feel staffing and management will be the biggest hurdle for any NYS family run/owned ski area.
 
Hello everyone--I've read many of your posts over the years, and decided to finally join the fun. I've been following the Toggenburg saga, and concur that it is doubtful that Harris purchased Toggenburg only to close it down and eliminate the competition. While I can't speculate as to his financial situation, I would find it hard to believe that this is his strategy. He is not a large corporation with significant financial resources, in my opinion. Of course, I've been wrong before.

However, he certainly would have a competitive advantage if he owned three ski areas within a stone's throw from each other. That would make a season pass enticing to some.

Finally, given that Greek Peak and Toggenburg continue to sell season passes (Greekenburg), if Harris or Meier knowingly continues to sell passes with the plan of a closure, that becomes a criminal matter.
 
Welcome @Emily

I'd guess forgetful before criminal.
 
Hello - first time contributor here. My family has been skiing Tog for the past few seasons and already purchased season passes for winter 21/22. I've been hearing these rumors for a few weeks now. If they plan to close it, I really hope that they allow an option to transfer season passes, rather than just refunding people. Or hopefully they will honor early season price discounts for Lab/Song for those who purchased passes early for Tog.
 
Peter responded to an email I sent last week saying he'd be ready to talk this afternoon. From what I can gather — talking to @Stu — he sent us both the same email so it sounds like he is ready to share. If I thought he was speaking exclusively to me, I'd do something for the front page, but because that's not the case, I'll share whatever I get here. (Pretty likely others will be me to it.)

If have specific ideas for questions, beyond the obvious "are you going to close Togg" and "will there be a joint pass" post them here.

I suppose also "what will happen to Greekenburg passholders?"
 
Is it gonna be named Labsongtog, Songlabtog, or some other combo?
Are any of the 3 hills gonna be more dedicated to certain types i.e. racers, learners, bumpers, carvers, boarders, gladers etc.?
