Charlie takes back Louise, and in ~6 yrs builds 3 chairlifts. $10-$20m a pop.
New lodges coming too.
Contrast with;
*Fernie, zero. Not even renovating the tired old lodges. No investments, albeit a few new ostentatious resort-cabins, free of annoying trees, adjacent to the overflow parking lot.
*Kicking Horse, catastrophic gondola arm failure. No investments
*Nakiska, status quo.
*Kimberley, vandalized Northstar lift, was repaired. Yay?
*Mt St Anne Quebec, Lifts were so poor maintained over years, many in disrepair that poor old Murray couldn't possibly finance it himself, so the kind Quebec government is covering half of the $100m
*Stoneham, jewel of ontario with it's newest lift only 28 years old.
And are you wondering why little johny and jane, don't love going to RCR resorts to play, like they used to?
Because RCR, started the movement of eliminating "jump"s in terrain parks almost 20 years ago. Surely, such a thing wouldn't be a cost saving measure

Louise, Sunshine, Revy, Sun Peaks, Big White, Silverstar, are better equipped as major resorts to accommodate a family's ski destination needs.
Last couple years, the Vail Group (Colorado, Whistler-Blackcomb) owner, has been poking around, with interest in buying --- details muddy, at an agreement for all/some resorts.
I think I'd prefer the devil I don't know, despite all the poor publicity coming from EPIC.
