Thus, it feels like a new chapter is about to start...


Nope : Feels like groundhog day.
Cairngorm were in this exact position (bankrupt!) when HIE took over in 2008.
Root of the problem is clearly HIEs unhealthy and expensive funicular obsession.

Re-read longer post I wrote on page 2 : until HIE are removed permanently the rot lies deep.

At this moment though who else could realistically step in and save their winter, I applaud the community buy out idea but get the feeling its come a bit too sudden, no private company is going to be interested while the train situation is unknown I'd have thought

well well, at least the mountain is now safe from the clown-buyout threat.

I'd go elsewhere too, but i'm scared of falling gondolas and slippy chairlifts.

ha, well you feel free to discuss whatever you like!

are you in the habit of standing under bull wheels?

i'm certainly not.

we can all decide to take our chances and ski where we prefer.

you stand right next to/under the bullwheel at the top of a lot of T bars to release the bar ya nugget. Including a fair few at CM.
