bumpyride Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C5 Golfer Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7stg Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 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.":biggthump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumpyride Posted September 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Art, from the looks of you avatar you're used to being in lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumpyride Posted September 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
