Just goes to show how many big players are running the industry

How many, or how few...?

A good chunk of those companies are real estate developers; the ski resorts themselves are oftentimes just a secondary exhaust benefit, if not a hindrance to their profit margins. I'd be super interested to see which of those resorts are actually in the black.

Would like to add that boyne is in a weird tug of war with Yellowstone club for big sky. It's confusing.

The more resorts one company owns in a specific region the more they can collude to drive up ticket prices. We need free market economy skiing.
