re: Industry expert says one third of U.S. ski resorts to shutter

Well the most common phrase on the OT is part of the problem, people talk about the lower end stuff like its "trashy".

Facebook and all this social media has made middle class women think they need and deserve high end places and only high end places. Even the low end resorts try to cater to the rich and famous, instead of just trying to get people on the slopes.

The phrase "we go there because its cheap fun" is not used enough now a days.
