INSIDE LINES The word “community” is derived from the old French comunete, which is derived from the Latin communitas. Community is about things held in common among a network of people who define that relationship as important to their social identity. When I was a child, I went to Hunter Mountain in New York one weekend to learn to ski—but since I couldn’t hold on to the rope tow, I didn’t get very far. Then, in the winter of my junior year at Amherst College, a group of my friends rented a house on German Flats Road and ventured north each weekend to ski at Mad River Glen. My first run at Mad River was down Paradise—mostly on my backside. Despite my lack of ability, the communal experience we had that winter at the ski house and on the mountain was memorable. Fifteen years later, many of us returned to the Mad River Valley with our young families for a reunion weekend— this time at Sugarbush. Win and Lili at Mt. Ellen’s Fasching Costume Ball. Over the years, our initial community of college friends broadened as we got to know more and more people in the Valley. We learned that this place we had stumbled upon in college was really special. Now three generations of the Smith-Ruane family and many of our friends are enjoying the Valley not just in winter, but in all seasons. And many family milestones are being met here. My youngest son, Cameron, got his first hole in one on the fifth hole of the Sugarbush golf course this past summer. And this winter, four of my five grandchildren will be on skis. What ties our community together? First, the mountains, composed of both National Forest Service land and private land, are a magnet for skiers, riders, bikers, and hikers. Surely they are some of the most majestic and beautiful in all of the Northeast. Secondly, the Valley, with its many farms, inns, and two historic villages replete with covered bridges, is pure Vermont. And lastly, there are the people. While the population here has been described as “eclectic,” there is something about the attraction of the Mad River Valley that ties similarly minded people together. For instance, it was remarkable to see how this community of permanent residents and second homeowners came together after the devastation of Tropical Storm Irene in 2011. This year Henri Borel will celebrate the fiftieth year of Chez Henri Restaurant & Bistrot in Sugarbush Village. People like Henri, Stein Eriksen, and Sigi Grottendorfer, and families like the Gadds, the Elliotts, and the Murphys, along with the Valley residents who have been here for generations, came together to create this unique community. People representing a variety of nationalities, professions, and backgrounds united to support a common interest: this unique place we now call the Mad River Valley. Sadly, this past year we lost two pillars of our community—Arthur Williams and Jackie Rose. Arthur did so much for the Valley, contributing to the founding of Sugarbush and to the Valley’s first professional polo league, and creating the MRV Community Fund. Jackie started the Store in Waitsfield, a treasure of a kitchen store that reflects her personal touch. They were icons, and we will miss them dearly. On my twenty-fifth birthday forty years ago, I joined Merrill Lynch intending to spend an entire career there. This would have been my year of retirement. However, after nearly twenty-eight years, fate took me in another direction, and I now have a remarkably satisfying second career here in Vermont. My primary goal is to help keep the Valley and its community vibrant and sustainable for generations to come. For those of you who are already members of our community, I look forward to another fun year with you. For those of you visiting us for the first time, I look forward to welcoming you, with the hope that you will discover what I did so many years ago. Cheers, Win Smith President, Sugarbush Resort The New Year’s Eve Dog Parade at Lincoln Peak. 6 SUGARBUSH MAGAZINE ARTS & CULTURE The Mad River Valley’s MUSICAL MOJO From Grace Potter to a thriving après band scene to informal fireside jamming on winter nights. BY ROB WILLIAMS hough the magical night happened many years ago now, anyone present remembers the music so well. Relive the moment: a young woman emerging through the crowd’s Jamming at the Brew-Grass Festival. hushedT stillness under a stunning star-filled evening of purple twilight, sinuously tapping a tambourine against her right thigh, River Valley seems to come from the celebration of our surroundings, keeping rhythm to her soulful wailing chorus: “Nothing but the water our quality of life, and a collaboration between young and old,” says is gonna set my soul free.” The chanteuse?

  • Perspectives of the Sport-Oriented Public in Slovenia on Extreme Sports
    Rauter, S. and Doupona Topič, M.: PERSPECTIVES OF THE SPORT-ORIENTED ... Kinesiology 43(2011) 1:82-90 PERSPECTIVES OF THE SPORT-ORIENTED PUBLIC IN SLOVENIA ON EXTREME SPORTS Samo Rauter and Mojca Doupona Topič University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Sport, Ljubljana, Slovenia Original scientific paper UDC 796.61(035) (497.4) Abstract: The purpose of the research was to determine the perspectives of the sport-oriented people regarding the participation of a continuously increasing number of athletes in extreme sports. At the forefront, there is the recognition of the reasons why people actively participate in extreme sports. We were also interested in the popularity of individual sports and in people‘s attitudes regarding the dangers and demands of these types of sports. The research was based on a statistical sample of 1,478 sport-oriented people in Slovenia, who completed an online questionnaire. The results showed that people were very familiar with individual extreme sports, especially the ultra-endurance types of sports. The people who participated in the survey stated that the most dangerous types of sports were: extreme skiing, downhill mountain biking and mountaineering, whilst the most demanding were: Ironman, ultracycling, and ultrarunning. The results have shown a wider popularity of extreme sports amongst men and (particularly among the people participating in the survey) those who themselves prefer to do these types of sports the most. Regarding the younger people involved in the survey, they typically preferred the more dangerous sports as well, whilst the older ones liked the demanding sports more. People consider that the key reasons for the extreme athletes to participate in extreme sports were entertainment, relaxation and the attractiveness of these types of sports.

  • THE DETERMINANTS of SKI RESORT SUCCESS the Faculty of the Department of Economics and Business
    THE DETERMINANTS OF SKI RESORT SUCCESS A THESIS Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Economics and Business The Colorado College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts By Ezekiel Anouna May/2010 THE DETERMINANTS OF SKI RESORT SUCCESS Ezekiel Anouna May, 2010 Economics Abstract As the economy is in a decline, fewer people are willing to pay for luxuries such as vacations. Thus, the ski resort industry is suffering. This thesis reveals an opportunity m the growth of free skiing and a demand for more difficult terrain. In this paper, data is collected from nearly all Colorado ski resorts to form a regression model explaining resort success. Regression analysis is conducted to discover what aspects of a ski resort contribute to success. Primarily, skier visits from the 2008-2009 ski season are_useclas the dependant variable in the regression model to measure resort success. Additionally, hedonic pricing theory is applied to test lift ticket price as a dependant variable. The paper finds that resort size, and possibly terrain park features are related to resort success. The hedonic pricing regression finds that bowl skiing, and lack of crowds, increase consumer willingness to pay for expensive lift tickets. KEYWORDS: (ski resort, terrain park, hedonic pricing) ON MY HONOR, I HAVE NEITHER GIVEN NOR RECEIVED UNAUTHORIZED AID ON THIS THESIS Signature I would like to thank my thesis advisor, Esther Redmount, for her support and consistent efforts to make sure I was on track. I would like to thank my family for supporting me in so many ways throughout my college career.

  • Earned Media Report
    ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MARKETING EARNED MEDIA RESULTS January 5, 2018 One National Life Dr, Davis Bldg, 6th Floor Montpelier, VT 05620 (802) 272-2399 | [email protected] When Phil Scott barrels his No. 14 stock car around Thunder Road outside his hometown of Barre, Vermont, it’s easy to assume the 59-year-old has a need for speed. After all, he’s raced motorcycles and snowmobiles everywhere from America’s Midwest to Ontario, Canada, amassing dozens of wins across a three-decade career. Ask Scott, though, and he’ll dig into the psychology, not the adrenaline rush: “There are some good drivers, and some not so good; some who are very emotional, some who are more patient than others. And then there are some who are driving over their head.” Soft- spoken and silver-haired, Scott couldn’t be more at home speaking from his crew’s garage: “It’s all about strategy. And trying to not over-drive the car.” Good advice for the racetrack, and a fitting allegory for Scott. In November, the driver won another race — this one to become the Republican governor of Vermont, in the backyard of Bernie, no less. Having served as lieutenant governor and a state senator, Scott advertised himself as a cautious driver, replacing Pete Shumlin, the Democrat governor who promised the moon with the nation’s first single-payer health care system and then failed to deliver. Scott’s campaign message was simple: Elect me, and I will make Vermont more affordable. Facing a revenue downgrade and a deficit upon taking office in January, his priorities have remained similarly mild-mannered while trying to reverse what he called the state’s “6-3-1” problem: six fewer workers, three fewer students and nearly one baby born into opioid- related addiction each day.
