no, it's all about bill stenger getting control of the mountain and making it pay off using foreign investors who get citizenship in the US

that said, running a ski area amd making money is not the easiest gig. you end up pissing everybody off eventually


apparently there is even more...a 120-seat restaurant up top Shocked Rolling Eyes Crying or Very sad

Oh great. The two sides of the mountain aren't well connected especially during periods of low snow. However I don't see the new quad fixing that without new trails and expanded snow making. The Taxi trail sucks as a connector.

Gramps, does the NEK still require a US passport with a valid visa?

Heck, he lives in Caledonia County. Even he needs papers should he decide to go for a Sunday drive up to Craftsbury. Wink

At the resort? Heck no! Lift-served is where you tele these days to fight boredom and get in shape. Then you switch to lighter gear for the BC. Wink
