But the customer base is becoming much more demanding. Forty five minute waits in the chair line wasn’t uncommon at Stevens in 1971. Now there would be hell to pay. So that increase in technology, capacity and speed has to be paid somehow. It’s very similar in both time and mechanics how both the music industry ( CD’s) and the ski areas (snowboarding) were hugging themselves and congratulating each other for being smart as their industry grew for reason that had nothing to do with those in charge.

The ski areas charge a lot more for day tickets.
I never remember the Stevens lot being full @ 7:30 before. Alpental chair 2 lines seem a lot bigger, no infrastructure improvements there.
I just don't understand the motivation for the sale. Maybe JK didn't want to try to float through an El Nino (see 04/05) but long term, there sure seems to be growth here. The Seattle population has exploded with a high percentage of outdoor types too.
In the case of growth, that doesn't explain a sale.
In the case of stagnation/decline, that doesn't explain a purchase.Merde De Glace On the Freak When Ski

I feel like it has to be he got offered too much money to pass up. Nothing else makes sense to move on so quickly.

Fast moving chairs put a lot more people in line at the top. Lift lines on ch1 when it was a double were brutal, weekends with LWSC had as many as 30 buses lined up in lot4. Memba when it was an hour + to navigate the old doubles CH1 and CH2 at xtal to get to green valley?Move upside and let the man go through...

As a "hill billy" from WV, I'd advise you to keep yer mouth shut unless you wanna be short some teeth, too
Snowshoe is no joke - it's the closest thing to a real resort the Mid-Atlantic has and it receives significant traffic from DC. Their snowmaking and mountain biking are top-notch, I think you'll find yourself happier year-round eventually...

Crystal Mountain Becomes Alterra
Well this took a turn...

Snowshoe does have the bike park thing nailed for their region, bringing that to Crystal has some good potential AFAIC.

Here's the Record of Decsion: https://www.fs.usda.gov/nfs/11558/ww...T3_4263892.pdf .
See rec 8, page 65:
Mountain bikes will not be transported on chairlifts or the Summit Tram (see W 7).
Sorry to have missed that one, was too obsessed by the boundary closure issue. No reasoning, rationale or principle cited. Weird.
Rec13 is interesting:
Crystal Mountain will develop a shuttle van system from the base area to Sunrise in order to provide Crystal guests an opportunity to visit the park and to help reduce peak summer traffic volumes. The system will be implemented based on demand for such a system, in coordination with MRNP.
I'm not aware of any such van.Merde De Glace On the Freak When Ski

That was 2004.
Different people were in place and things have evolved.

My understanding is that an appeal to amend that part of the MDP has been filed by the new owners with land managers in that district.
