Makes me really wonder whats going to happen about 40 miles down south from Bozeman. Like I wrote, there are some signs that change may be in the wind.
I don't think there is land available, especially for buildings, but even parking lots. Except for a few inholdings dating to patened mining claims, all the land is USFS operated under a special use permit.Quote:

None of that was financially viable, but since the 2004 Master Plan, the potential has been almost totally removed.
I'm just hoping for a bigger patio umbrella.
You're a simple man, easily satisfied. Good qualities. :)Quote:

Okay, now you're starting to get picky...
You're on to something...Quote:

Hopefully they''l build some decent employee accommodations down there and napalm the old units at the mountain freeing up some space for development..... but actually just avoiding the gulag like living conditions for staff might help with the whole customer service issue.
sorry. will talk to shrink about it soon.Quote:

I can't find any information on who is the financial support for Alterra Mountain company? Any ideas?

It's the descendant of KSL private equity and Henry Crown private investment group... so the who is probably not available easily if at all.Quote:

1. Easier access to beer without lines after skiing
2. East peak double for slack country access would be great
3. Accommodation is in desperate need of updating
4. Chain check at 410
5. Outdoor bar and snack shack at Campbell lodge
6. Remodeled base lodge
7. Eliminate permit parking and add valet parking
8. Reroute gondola to top of nway
9. Change snack shack back to satay hut
10. Add club at base for ski storage , showers , etc...
11. Better moguls

Dear god please do not implement chain checks. Or, at least do not use CalTrans as the model.
.. Hence an offer he couldn't refuse.Quote:

I hate the atmosphere that football games create in there compared to ski porn
2. East peak double for slack country access would be great Yep... although we might come to miss the current peace and quiet.
3. Accommodation is in desperate need of updating Yep
4. Chain check at 410 to be effective/safe/fair this needs to be WSP or PC Sheriff not asking less than minimum wage parking lot attendants to argue with irate motorists
5. Outdoor bar and snack shack at Campbell lodge move the patio shed up there
6. Remodeled base lodge Yep - better police table camping, left bags, brown bagging
7. Eliminate permit parking and add valet parking you can take my parking permit from my cold dead hands! How on earth would Valet parking work the flow of incoming vehicles would be impossible to match[
8. Reroute gondola to top of nway not sure what benefit that would bring.. the crush it would create on the Elk side of Green Valley would be horrible.
9. Change snack shack back to satay hut see above - would structure stand up in weather conditions at Campbell Basin lodge
10. Add club at base for ski storage , showers , etc...Club?... Showers? ewwwww.
There doesn’t need to be a chain check, just a Prius check.
We don’t need a gondola on top of Northway, just make it a quad.

Yep probably time for that.. Plus put in the missing pylon on the gondy line.Quote:

From the Crystal mountain website this morning:
"Q: I have a Crystal Anytime Pass, what pass will I receive?
A: All current Crystal Anytime pass holders will continue to use their Crystal Pass at Crystal Mountain. Anytime Pass holders, 11+, will also be eligible for an Ikon Pass. All Anytime Pass holders, 11+, will receive an email with a unique promotion code that can be redeemed online for an Ikon Pass. Redemption instructions will be included in the email. Emails will be sent out by October 12.
Children, 10 and under, Anytime Pass holders will retain their Crystal Mountain Resort Pass for the 2018/19 season. They will NOT be issued an Ikon Pass. If you would like to purchase an Ikon Pass or Ikon Base Pass for a child 10 & under, please visit our website at ikonpass.com. "
Children 5-12 are only a low low low $399!
Thanks. This is good new and at this point, I'm not too worried about the extra $50 I paid for the Anytime Pass.Quote:

We had better!Quote:

FYI, there is no senior citizen discount with the IKON pass. I became eligible this season under the old rules, but CrystalMt customer service told me NO this week. Also, I'm getting conflicting information about whether blackout dates apply to the lower-level IKON pass at Crystal. I'll have to decide whether to pay $1000 to ski Crystal on any good powder day or take my chances with what they decide to blackout.
