Down below explains most of whats happening. I'm not able to make a GoFundMe, but it would help if anyone could. It would really suck if Jay Peak goes under. Too bad the management is a bunch of greedy shitstains.

Jay Peak will be fine. It has always done well. Maybe it can't sustain indoor water parks and 5 star hotels but as a ski resort it will always be viable. GoFundMe shouldn't be for bailing out greedy owners.

Jay will be all good.
It's pretty much the east coast powder skier centre...
I've skied there since 3, and nothing much has changed, and with 950cm annual snowfall, it's not going to run into the ground.

They got issues. EB5 funny money was the start and now they have Tram issues that need some cash flow but EB5 money is not baling that out.

Glad to see EB5 projects fail. I hope that shit stops. Let the gooks get a green card other ways.

Wasn't really jay Peak's fault. The owners stole money from the investors to make self profit, in order to do that they pretty much said fuck that to all maintenance issues and requirements for the mountain.

A gofundme for a ski resort? Yeah that's not how it works, they'll get a capitol investment if they wanna raise 4.5M.

The owners realize they are screwed and have no income if it goes under.... I hope. I thought my resort had corrupt management but this sounds bad.

Burke is owned by the same group as Jay. Same problem there. I know saddleback needs help, theres a whole list of mountains that do, but saddleback actually sounds like its getting investors that could bring back the mountain. It would be great if they could, looks like a pretty sick place.
