Vail just bought

Kirkwood.

Sorry guys.

 

[Janky]

idk if i should take this as good or bad, im thinkin bad.

 

[pbandj]

take it as good and bad... kirkwood gains financial backing which it has been lacking in the past....may potentially lose it's ski area feel.

I'm just stoked to hopefully never look over and see every chairlift stopped... frequent power outages at a ski resort are not fun. I think Kirkwood really needed this... it will be interesting to see how it plays out.

shittt they are taking tahoe over. I might be time to leave Sierra and buy that Tahoe triple whammy now...

 

[ryano]

i dont understand how vail resorts keeps buying stuff.. havent they been in the red financially every year for a while?

 

[Karma_Police]

Common misconception. There is a thread over on TGR about it.

I don't think it changes much. Take the good with the bad. Both are about equal in this case.

 

[pbandj]

extremely common misconception... the information is actually available as they are a publicly traded company.

also, before anyone really cries... if this hadn't taken place, there might not have been a kirkwood next year.

 

[skiEER]

vail is actually one few very succesful ski resorts

 

[easiestEC]

probably a good choice

[PacificRimJob]

Having fully explored all three? very much yes... especially for the pussy commuter crowds.

 

[The_Future]

Agreed... Kirkwood has been a shit show lately.
