http://www.vpr.net/news_detail/82367/  looks like the pretentious days of Stowe Mountain Resort are coming to an end. Thoughts?

"One of Vermont's oldest and most prestigious ski resorts could soon be sold off by its financially troubled parent company (AIG)"

Good. Hopefully the managment will improve.

If they didn't sell it they would have to give all taxpayers free seasons passes

keyword could, this article is almost a month old and there hasn't been any mention since then. obviously it may very well get sold, the infrastructure that AIG invested in at Stowe is all built for the most part, so I'm not sure how much prestigiousness they will lose if the sale does occur

Nothing will change. Stowe is a successful venture as is, and I would be amazed if their operating plan changes in the least if they are sold.
