What improvements or changes will happen to CV for the upcoming ski season? Will there be a change in management? Will there be more investment as WV invests in other state parks, such as Lost River, Hawks Nest (new lift), and Pipe Stem (new lift)?

Nothing ever changes.

Unfortunately I agree. Don't expect anything for improvements.  As long as hotel management continues to take the money and use it for the hotel and golf course. 

Even replacing the old airhog tower guns and adding new permanent energy efficient tower guns that rely on ground guns would help with a faster opening of trails.

How does this situation still exist?

Would spending the money (operating expenses, currently determined and allocated by the management company) for 12 weeks to make enough snow to open (and keep open) 50% of the mountain acreage increase increase skier visits by 250 a week? If this is a reasonable assumption-

That is 3k additional skier visits. Lets pretend half are already coming to the Valley because of TL (which is at capacity on multiple Saturdays and Sundays).

That is still 1,500+ meals and whole lot of room nights.

The whole point of the state-owned resort is to stimulate the local economy and increase tax receipts.

No one in Tucker County or the State government can follow this logic?
