Jeff Hanle Quotations

Unfortunately, it seems like we have a couple every year.

We're looking to this week to tell us where we're going.

No, certainly it's not what we expected or what we were told. There is nothing we can do about it.

It continued to happen but just took on a different feel.

We do not break out the fee, and we don't have any plans to.

We'll do everything in our power to discourage people walking back and forth between town.

We did the best we could, and we feel it was fair. We're sorry if some people didn't get what they wanted.

We have guest services people at the bottom of the mountain looking for it. We don't want our guests to be hassled and inconvenienced. When they're on our property we'll do what we can to assist in aiding their privacy.

With all these factors, this is looking like a positive year. I'm sure we'll see a lot of positive news out of the state this year, as well. The more people who get excited about skiing and riding, the more we can cash in.

We are up almost 5 percent for the period, closer to 6 percent, year-to-date. Our snow is above average for the year.

It was above average going way back to 1982.

The snow helps, and everything couldn't happen without it, but there's more to it than that. We've been riding a wave.

They were cooperative. We asked them to leave private property and not to bother our guests.

A lot of our growth is from destination visitors. The monetary value to the resort is a lot greater with that type of visitor.

It's the biggest party in the valley. It continues to gain steam.

It's been a consistent snow year. And snowfall has been quite a bit above normal.

It's great to look at the Front Range resorts and see big growth as a result of local snow-driven excitement. When we look at where our biggest growth is, we see that our destination business is booming.

It's certainly odd to have incidents like this take place simultaneously, but we had the equipment and the personnel to respond to both of them.

They are long gone, and people are still calling in droves. They just went like hot cakes.

That's as far as we'll go. They are adults and we let them make their own decisions.

Highlands far and away leaped the pack. The investment we made is paying dividends.

The crowds were good, and it's continually improving. Now, we'll debrief with ESPN and others, look at it with a microscope, and figure out how to improve things for next year.
