@stewart, I really appreciate the tough questions. This is why people pay to subscribe. Mr. Katz missed the opportunity to reset my mind on their company. He failed to admit all mistakes and articulate how it will be fixed. Instead, sales speak the whole way through. He really missed the safety vs capacity issue. He turned it into some kind of class warfare conversation.
I live in the DC area. It may be elevation in part holding back the PA resorts. But the perception is the PA resorts have not done that well under Vail management. I will get an Epic pass on a year I go to UT or CO, but for local skiing I am way ahead to have a season pass at Massanutten and an Indy Pass.
Hey Stuart-Those resorts in WV have a little more elevation than Liberty, Whitetail and the Western PA resorts and I am always amazed how just a couple of thousand feet make a difference in the weather leading to completely different conditions. A buddy of mine did mention that Chip Perfect at Timberline was the reason for their success along with his strong team.
Suggestion for Vail: Blue Knob is supposedly the highest elevation ski resort in PA. And those jokers do good to have it all open after a Blizzard. Might be good for Vail to try to take it over and show us what they can do.
There is a reason it's called Blue Knob....for some reason that place is always cold AF. "Claysburg Air Force Station (1952–1961), a Cold War radar base for monitoring Soviet aircraft, it was deactivated in 1961."

This is the best sound quality yet! Exciting!
