If it were working for them you'd see faster improvements at the mountain because it would be financially justifiable.
Puh_lease tell me you are not serious with this. Prior to the new GP how many years had it been since we saw any ski side improvements. I'd say 10 years? Is that fair?
We've had ski side improvements every single year. I'm more than happy with that. What we have here in CNY is a gem and can't be compared to any of our local competition.
Drama queen.
Stop looking at it emotionally and think about it rationally.
I never said they haven't made any improvements, and I never said they aren't doing better than the prior owners.
Look at their full range of pricing, over the entire season (not just the early bird pricing), and you'll see products at price points that are just never going to work. Their pricing strategy is to throw a bunch of stuff up and see what lands. It's not based on any particular financial goals showing how each product contributes to those goals.
It's not my business. They can run it how they want. So in that sense you're right - it must be working for them.
But they've had it long enough they should have financial goals, capital expenditure plans going out five years, and a marketing/pricing strategy to support and achieve that. I'm 99% sure it's mostly seat of the pants. If it wasn't, those new lift towers to replace Lift 3 would be installed instead of laying on the ground for two years.
