Love the summit lift... blew out my knee in early March so I’m gonna miss one final ride on it... ?
hard for me to get excited about SnowKing development because I know that instead of investing in community space, improved ski ops, snow parks and mountain bike trails but they’re basically just gonna be deforesting for zip lines and building more boujee bullshit like “one town hill” for tourists and retirees.
I wish there were a developer in this town that actually had a vision beyond luxury real estate and high impact tourism.
I would love to see them renovate the hockey rink and make it a world class university level training facility with rink/floor space, a huge gym, 365 Woodward style facilities, and affordable housing for employees that also gets rented out to colleges/camps for profit and access to the facilities. This town already produces Olympian’s and the best in the world come to train here... I wish somebody would see the net benefit in investing in that stuff more than the luxury market which is so goddamn cringey.
better ops, training courses, and snow parks would ultimately just bring in revenue from events, rooms, gear and F&B sales. Right now I think collegiate level racers / slope style folks that come here for events are pretty dissapointed/underwhelmed by the amenities and the price that they come at.
would love to see somebody actually invest in the spirit of alpinism and athletics instead of just real estate.... that’s what gave this place its soul to begin with
probably too much to hope for, but the Gondi should be cool ?

we’ll see where it goes
