Schuss Saskadena preferable. Keeping the Six will likely cause a common assumption that Saskadena is a native America term for offing yourself. Like the effort tho.

I like the "new" name and learned something about Vermont. That's more meaningful than preserving the history related to a quip about skiing a little hill that anyone can do. In related news, Okemo is now to be renamed Poser Mountain.

I wonder why the mighty mighty just went with the alliance instead of the full membership. Still got my fingers crossed for McCauley to make the cut.

Political shitshow. I don't know what's going on, but I typically place blame on a "commission" of appointed or elected (I have no clue a how it was formed) asshats on a power trip that have no clue on what actually happens on a daily basis of what they're "governing".

This is just gonna play into the hands of those conservative fucktards on the commission. Now that they ran off the management team, they’re just gonna use their absence to justify their original plan to lease/sell it.
step three, profit.

Updated article answering some of the "Why".

Of course, I imagine there are a lot more local issues that remain unknown to us non locals.
These four, not so much Jade, but Ness, Strang, and Lambert are so inept and unqualified to be in the positions they're in that management sees they can't get anything done with them.”Both Day and Kiedaisch claimed the recently-appointed GAC members were trying to take a larger controlling stake in the day-to-day operations,
Like who makes the appointments to the GAC ?
And what is their agenda ?
Seems as if it was being properly and profitably managed.

And this is why state and local governments should not run ski areas.
This type of arrangement is not uncommon in the airport world. I worked at the Syracuse airport and it was run by the city...it was a mess with political favorites (who had no knowledge of running an airport) were named to key positions as political favors. It was an absolute dump. When I moved to the Albany airport, it was run by a bi-partisan board that had to answer to the people on their choices for key roles. The CEO/Director while I was there was amazing. The place was beautiful...I loved working there.
Shortly after, the Syracuse airport moved to a model similar to Albany's and the changes were immediate and profound.
In both scenarios, the board had nothing to do with the day-to-day operations of the airports. The CEOs/Directors managed that and only reported what they were doing to the board monthly. I regularly attended the board meetings in Albany and they were pleasant, non-partisan, and focused only on making the product better. The biggest issue between municipal- and authority-run airports was that the municipality (Syracuse) took all profits and rolled them into the general fund for the city; airport profits rarely ended up being reinvested in the airport. In the authority model, profits were re-invested into the airport without having to have governmental approval.
Small-town politics are frightening to me. Belknap County is small-town and these idiots on the board want to get their fingers into the operations and will likely turn the fantastic numbers delivered by the previous management team into a whole lotta red ink.
Interesting to see Alex DeLuca quoted...those of us that hang with the K-zone crowd at Killington know Alex quite well.

The governor used to run a much larger ski area (Waterville Valley).
Lots of innuendos in that statement with no basis in fact other than opinions from a politician. Personally, I don't believe a word of it. How can you tell a politician is lying? His/her lips are moving.
But it will be interesting if a truly independent audit turns up malfeasance from the former management group.
Let's not turn this into a polyass discussion....

This is about way more than seating arrangements. That was just the straw.
