Eastrider, I oughtta take that bet. This doesn't mark the first time that a major US print rag has published a story about Le Massif. Their circulation north of the border is negligible, and most Americans just think it's too darned far away (perception, not reality). A doubling of skier visits is way, way bigger than perhaps you realize. <BR> <BR>That article won't be directly responsible for more than a couple of percent, on a good day. <BR> <BR>OTOH, you want expansion onto the third summit (as do I), and you want it to be something more traditional (as do I). You can't do that without increased visits to justify the investment, so don't be so dismayed. <BR> <BR>I haven't yet seen the piece. Which issue?
