I went to Hermitage a few weeks ago and was unimpressed with the grooming. Death cookies abounded. Especially since I went to Bromley and Stratton the same weekend and the grooming was far superior. Was really surprising, considering grooming is one of the main selling points. The heated bubble six pack is very nice though.
From what I've heard, there are several factions of members who are angling to replace the current management, but none of them have enough support on their own to do so. I don't know why anyone would want to join while the place is in so much turmoil. Seems like the place has turned into a real estate play, but the real estate isn't worth as much without the ski area. I suppose the proximity to Mount Snow is worth something, but then why not just buy at Mount Snow?
