I will just be blunt with everything right now...
Mike will not spend a dollar in the park because he seems to think it only brings "punk kids" or people who don't spend a dime. He won't allocate money from ticket sales to the park which is just confusing. The only "money" that the park could bring in was from the comps we had. In which I say thanks to all of you entering in them.
If we go back a year Mike asked me to move back from Utah and try an do something with the park.I was promised a ton of things a year ago that included a new rail package, but instead we got a new bar with a deck no one could use all winter. I did everything that I could this season for everyone from last fall having PoorBoyz in town with JP Auclair to show Reasons, 4 pretty fun events with a ton of product, having the Traveling Circus for a night and trying to offer a product(park) that was for all levels. When your space is the size of a football field you have to cram everything in you can.
At this point I just don't know where my future is taking me and West Mountain might not be in plans after my last trip back to Utah in March. I was offered a job at one of the three resorts in Park City to work in their events department to expand their park team and events. I would like to say Thank You for everyone coming to West this season, I had a blast meeting everyone and making new friends to ski with. I will keep everyone in the loop about things at West and myself. Once again Thanks for an awesome winter!
