SandBox Comments: Aspen Times "Aspen Skiing Co. 'didn't do well enough' last season"

And yet, after hearing very specific and direct concerns, complaints and dissention from local, regional, national and international workers and customers; Aspen Skico still resorts to excuses and disinformation as propaganda to the masses.

Reality, is that Beaver Creek, Vail Resorts and Breckenridge refuse to discount rooms and hold sales.  Instead they offer more value and are light years ahead of Aspen Skico with pass offerings, infrastructure and overall guest experience.

What a shame Skico keeps making the situation worse by not accepting the fact that numbers steadily decline because...it's about them.

Here's to the little guy in Aspen.  Hanging on, hoping to survive the double dip recession while Aspen Skico stays flat.

Great post Nanny. I spoke to soon on the Roger Marolt article since you already posted it.

Sometimes I wonder if the skico even knows what a monopoly it's created on the valley.

You'd think that somebody who owns it all which in turn forces people to be held by proxy to whatever decisions the skico makes, would be doing all they could to make sure the little guy is prospering.

Ominous is the feeling I get when they start publically admitting they're in tough shape.
