    Oh boy. Never good

    The $100M of cost savings is a program started in 2024, according to their latest statement they are on track for that $100M annualized number by the end of next year. All of it seems to come from operating efficiency, global shared services, and expanding workforce management. 

    To put this in perspective, this is a company that expects between $854M and $896 EBITDA this year, so it's a decent chunk of their budget they are looking to save here. How much of that is Consulting/Analyst magic is yet to be actually seen though. 

    In other Vail News, they seem to be adding Crans-Montana in Switzerland to the offerings. Looks like it cost them about a Million to do that.

    Wonder if the condos factor in. The condos at Saddleback took a real hit the years it was shut down

    I was thinking the condos might have been a factor as well, but realistically Vail is so much bigger than a small condo association in the Poconos.

  3. Double dipped in the afternoon yesterday. Snow softened up across the mountain so the trails did get marginally better than they were at 9:30 but it was still pretty rough out there. Razors opened around 2 and the first two runs on it were fantastic but it too got rough pretty fast. Longest day at Blue so far for me.

  4. @skiincy has a very similar pair of bindings and yes you need to keep a good hold on them at all times. One got away from her and took off like a rocket last year. I had to track it like I was watching a golf ball. Ended up running through an orange fence and getting caught up in some brush against a wooden snow fence a few hundred yards downhill. 

    They have little retractable carabiners that you can get to put on your boot buckles that will clip to the bindings and prevent worst case scenarios, kind of like an old school snowboard leash.
