Shame on Kirkwood/Vail Resorts for changing from local java to Chain-Java! There goes the local culture!
Let the downfall of Kirkwood as we know it begin…

Well said, Aaron. If Vail isn’t willing to keep the local feel at Kirkwood, that is a big message to locals.
So Kirkwood sold for what amounts to pocket change because of financial instability and you want them to keep doing the same things that they were doing that caused the financial instability?
Maybe the message should be “Thanks Vail for coming in and saving Kirkwood.”
