Regular Weber County Forum readers will no doubt remember our 7/28/09 WCF writeup, wherein, among other things, we highlighted this Dennis Maher letter to the editor, touting a local skier boycott of Powder Mountain, as a protest against the PM developers' heavy-handed abuse of prospective Powdervillians' civil rights. Well... it appears that this proposed tactic is gaining further traction, as Ogden Valley Forum is now floating the idea of "an all out boycott."
And for those readers who are already saving up for your 2009-10 season passes, we believe it might be helpful to zero in on the eminently sensible full comment from gentle reader no mo pow mow, which appears in the comments section beneath yesterday's OVF article:
Earl Holding is the white knight (or maybe we have a short memory).While we don't necessarily fall into the camp which would regard Earl Holding as a complete angel, there's one thing we do know for sure... the greed-head Powder Mountain developers are demonstrably full-time denizens of the dark side. And let's face it folks; Snow Basin is without a doubt the best skier's mountain in the whole danged state.
Snowbasin kids passes are only $225 for 7-12 year olds. Teens are $350.
Very competitive pricing and an incredible mountain with less wear and tear on the ole' GMC.
Don't make a deal with the devil, ski with Earl!!!
Something to seriously ponder as we move toward the pre-season ski pass discount period, dont'cha think?
Your gentle and savvy comments are invited, as always.
