Summit at Snowqualmie

[bumpyride]

I just read that Crystal Mt. (Booth) is taking over the summit at Snowqualmie. Anyone know anything about it?

Also anyone have a promotional code for season's passes there?

You can probably go to the Seattle Times web site and find the articale -- I read about it in the paper yesterday

Might be a good thing for us.

anyone know if this is related to the 14 million settlement aginst Snoqualmie

"the resort's new owners plan to invest heavily in capital improvements in the coming years, including replacing old chairlifts."

Gettin' out while the gettin's good.

Don't know, isn't that the insurance company's worry.

Woop-de-do, They dont even know if the passes will reciprocate for the resorts, maybe a discounted rate or limited visits per season. Kind of a joke if you ask me, Same crappy lines, slow chairs, with rising prices. Time to take some trips

I read in a prior post that they were heavily self insured

Art, from the looks of you avatar you're used to being in lines.

I washington it is mandatory for the resort to let the lines be a free-for-all. Can you say merge? I would hope that when a mid-week pass goes up 100% in price over 4 years (Crystal) that the experience would improve. Im not sure their new plan is going to be all that cool. Same crabby employees, understaffing, etc. Just bitchin to bitch, but I dont see Snoqualmie (where I learned to ski btw and rode a board for the first time) really improving. The good news is that alot of the skiers there need new equipment and thats good for the local retailers.
Oh and I love lines (I'm the upper left with the orange and white jersey)

Boyne to operate Summit at Snoqualmie




To set the record straight, Boyne/Crystal DID NOT buy The Summit. Boyne will carry the lease and manage operations at The Summit and Loon Mountain. CNL Income Properties, Inc., purchased The Summit and Loon Mountain from Booth Creek Ski Holdings last January.
Possible benefits to both Crystal and The Summit pass holders are being discussed.
