New Casino...Stupid?

big white is a bunch of douchebags, stewart made a SICK park at calabogie in ontario with 5 grand and these guys have WAY more funds.

hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!! you guys are dumb this is a regular thing for big white to do all the new condos that are owned by americans so why not build somthing that they can do at night to make more money off of. the park is the last thing on big whites priority order so get used to it.

well i guess the more money a resort gets, the better.

that means more gapers to air over!  : )

im pretty sure we are aware of big whites stupid antics...well maybe not the youngin but i was just stating how ironic it was. homo.

cool

good point with the whole irony of being a family resort, i hope michael j gets a gambling problem and one of us cleans him out at the texas hold em' table...

well i hope you and owen are good at gambling because in case you didnt notice the rest of us are under 18... but if you do ill give you a nickle and some bubble gum!

its definitely going to throw off their family atmosphere... people will be coming up just to gamble, not even to ski

^^ exactly what i was trying to point out

certainly...
so, this weekend was pretty good up there... im liking the snowghost lift, cuts lines down quite a bit

^^ yeah i heard it was sweet but i never got to go up cause i was in vancouver, did they have the rocket and the snow ghost goin or just the snowghost? its kinda stupid to have em both runnin

they only had the rocket going but they are opening the snowghost this week.

my bad, i guess they arent.

^^ aww i was stoked to ride to it

on saturday it was just the ridge, but on sunday they opened both lifts and there were no lines at all, it was good...

Gambling is 19 and over, and I think the casino is a dope idea. It will provide funds to the mountaisn that will potentially cut down on lift ticket prices, and at the very least provide the mountain with a larger budget. Look at the big picture.

Plus, it will add another drinking establishment, which means when you younger guys turn 19, more places to meet girls.

how the hell will that lower ticket prices? are you stupid? if anything it will make them more expensive with the more people coming for the casino...and the lower budget thing? theyll just keep doin the same stuff theyve been doing..putting more condos and useless lifts in...

yup, u r definitely right

Ok you are an idiot. What are you, like grade 11? Take some economics in university if you get there, it is pretty interesting stuff. Michael J holds a monopoly over the Kelowna/Vernon accessible mountains (Big White and Silver Star). As one mountain develops, and the amount of traffic increases, two things will happen:

Firstly, if we are to assume the casino will bring more customers to the big white, a positive quantity effect will occur. What this means is that as one more unit is sold, total Big White revenue will increase by the price at which the unit is sold. Because this happens, the 'law of demand' states that there will be a negative price effect. A negative price effect means that in order to sell one more unit, the monopolist must cut the market price on all units sold. If this is hard to believe, I will use Whistler as an example:
2003/04 Season Ticket Prices: $1480 For an Early Bird Unlimited pass. (Taken from the Ski Canada Resort Guide.)
2006/07 Season Ticket Prices: $1369 For an Early Bird Unlimited Pass. (Taken from Whistler Website)

The Reason? Perhaps because of the Whistler Olympic Games, IntraWest has chosen to make the mountain more price accessible for possible investors to observe and gain potential interest. Also note that the lower price change occurred AFTER they opened up all the new bowl terrain and the announcement of the games.

Furthermore, Big White itself spends no actual money on the Condominiums and residential units that are produced. Big White merely lowers the cost of land as more land is produced. This is known as a Consumer Surplus Discount. This means that Big White will indeed have more funds to open perhaps more of the mountain, although I can obviously not confirm that notion with factual information, any more than you can confirm that they will continue to "keep doin the same stuff theyve been doin..putting more condos and useless lifts in."

As well, perhaps the increase in traffic to Big White will help the government of Trail get their heads out of their asses and improve road conditions. Which, to you people may not seem like a huge deal, but when investors are dealt with the ultimatum of less consumers do to unsafe roads, you can bet that they will put pressure on Trail.

NERD!

haha couldnt have put it any better myself....oh and bitch? im in grade 9....

big homo ^

wow did you know that absolutely NO ONE cares how smart you are? by the way that kid is in like grade 8. we all know you felt the need to make a 4 paragraph speech on it but nobody cares.

aww now everyones hatin on me cause im in grd 9...

Wow, just wow. I give up on newschoolers.

does not suprise me might mean more people more lifts but it also means more people more lifts if you catch my drift

give up? your the one who posted like 9048034095 long essay to prove some kid wrong! nobody cares how smart you are! and you ARENT gangsta as SHEEYIT!

soo i guess this is goin in guaranteed. i was up there last weekend and they have the whole place ripped up. shit looks like its gonna be huuugggeeee

we should fill a toboggan with explosives and launch it down the hill right at that sucker and kill it.   seriously.    how many beds at this place?     big whites already crowded enough with gapers.

thats going to be scary, 30 hour wait times much?

unless they somehow open 200 more runs or something, its gonna be a gong show
