Odd, Gunstock is showing winter camping.

It could never find anyone with the financials to lease it.
The new GAC had the option to go that way... but I think they know that no private equity is willing to do so... if not they could talk to Goddard.

The same footprint will require more snowmaking... as we are seeing less natural snow. The efficiency increases will not keep up with the price increases.

All things being constant... slope fees will need to rise.
Lower fees for county residents would need to be offset with higher fees for non-residents.
If you lose some non-residents due to the higher fee, and other options for them, you have to increase the fees for the remaining non-residents starting the cycle again. At a certain point, there aren't any non-residents to transfer the costs to.
