It's always good to have someone with desision making power know what the hell the customers actually want. Better him than some guy from Florida who thinks the path to success is to build hotels and overpriced restaurants everywhere.

Anyone who thinks he isn't interested in developing up real estate, restaurants, etc is just blind to business. This would be the #1 thing to do. Create mammoth as a year round destination resort. Park rats, who usually are poorer, dont buy as much, etc tend to be blinded by the "gapers" who spend thousands and thousands on weekend trips who drive the revenue to build a sick park and waht not

Those generate sooo much more revenue and attract a much higher net worth client than the park. Yea, mammoth has a sick park and I doubt they ever make it worse, im sure it will only get bigger and better.
