Skier visits in General have been going up, before the quad pack. They certainly have nothing to do with increasing season ticket sales and blazers.
I think the definitive number is skier visits, and while that has risen, I don't know that the rate of increase changed dramatically with the introduction of the quad packs last year. And when looking at the numbers, remember that they also introduced the 420s pass at the same time and that was popular.
And growth is good if the infrastructure is built to handle it. So we get a new quad next season, and then I'd bet they build another phase of real estate and a new lodge/improved valley house.
And it's snowing, so it's all good fellas. Perchance castle rock is open this weekend??? I'd be happy with a hike over.
