TV documentary on ski lift economics
On French TV, a few nights ago, and fascoinating because it took the
resort I'm presently in (Montgenevre) as its yardstick. MG has recently added some new lifts, including a new eight-man gondola, and the network is pretty good: better than I remember, but then I last skied it a quarter-century ago. Anyway, turns out the new investment (24 million euros) has meant a 30% increase in the l;ift pass price over the last three years and, on a euro-per-kilometre of piste basis, MG is now costlier than the Three Valleys and other 'grandes stations'. So they're promoting Vallee Blanche passes, which for a modest extra sum, give unlimited access to Claviere, Sestriere and Sauze on the Italian side. Standard pass gives one day 'away'. There was also a fascinating look at a French website where discounted passes can be had, because the guy who runs it (and who was filmed negotiating with the MG resort director) trades space and publicity on the site for discounted tickets. Maddeningly, I didn't get the url. Anyone know it? Savings of 15-20% were mentioned. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Triumph Street Triple Honda CB400F Suzuki TS250 Suzuki GN250 chateaudotmurrayatidnetdotcom Nothing damages a machine more than an ignoramus with a manual, a can-do attitude and a set of cheap tools |
