Replying to Information on Vail or Alterra
Writing an essay for school, teacher said pick a topic with two sides. I chose to write about the pass wars involving the Epic Pass and Ikon Pass and how it affects locals. I'm looking for any information, statistics regarding skier usage of these passes, or just general input regarding the two companies. It's easy enough to find Vail's financials, but because Alterra is privately owned, I'm having more trouble coming up with real information about them.
Sidenote: I despise the Ikon Pass and all it brings to the cottonwoods, but after looking at how stagnant revenue had become for resorts until recently, I recognize we might be looking at the lesser of two evils with Vail or Alterra: Either your local mountain loses its culture, or your local mountain doesn't exist anymore because it can't afford to.
