Doesn't require real estate. At least, not for a small mountain. Does require revenue from summer operations. Berkshire East is an example of a small independent mountain that has deliberately built up summer ops, but is very unlikely to get into real estate."Adventure lifestyle" seems to connote doing stuff all year round at yer mountain. Possibly buying real estate.
Killington is working to become a year-round destination resort that serves 1-week vacation folks and locals who drive. Be nice if they had a local bus option to get to K'ton.Ski “resorts" suck.
Skiing doesn’t.
YMMV.
It will be interesting to see if the new owners build that connection. I'm sure there are a million arguments for and againstAs long as Pico isn't connected via ski trails, it's not a resort . . . it's a day ski area. Don't even need to know how close it is to K'ton.
I've always wanted to hear the "against". It only needs two lifts.It will be interesting to see if the new owners build that connection. I'm sure there are a million arguments for and against
Jay has all that.I think 7 Springs is a lot more than the skiing. I believe the hotels and indoor water park, tubing hill, mountain coaster, probably a zippy thing yada yada is all part of that package. I imagine that’s why it’s more expensive and might even be more profitable than Hunter.
Difference is Jay is 3.5 hours from Boston with at least 6 maybe up to 10 other mountains that you would pass on your way, where as 7 Springs is 3.5 from DC with 1 other mountain you would pass on your way in. Jay will always be challenged be geography, the Jay Cloud and the terrain are the only thing that keeps it viable.Jay has all that.
