Hi my name is Terry O'Connor living in Whistler BC since 1999good episode. lots of us skiers and boarders are buying shares even if we loose money. I'm up to 20 of them. I'm a Whistler (BC Canada) resident and Vail sucks. they first of all cut a bunch of good accounting and management jobs from the Whistler office well over a hundred jobs in a town of 12k. these were the kind of jobs people could live in an expensive place. they upgraded lifts beyond run capacity so that sucksthe food and retail became worse and more expensive they don't know how to really make money off a resort: REAL ESTATE. a good example of how to do that properly was WB's long time owner Interwest. The ski resort, golf, biking etc was all just amenities for the experience real estate. I would like to see them be forced to sell WB back to a Canadian owner or maybe a European operator. someone that cares about skiing and the culture. F@#& Vail#Vailfailterrry_o@hotmail.com
