It's hard to correct the airport, as I'd imagine that keeping a 8-9000 foot runway clean and open in the winter weather is something that I don't think they want to take on. As they would be the only real customers who would need it. And for some of the planes these folks have, 9000 ft. might be pushing it. I have not heard anybody suggest that the Bozeman airport is a real issue. I know a few people who have big enough planes that they really want a commercial airport. Have no idea about hangar space, etc., there. A couple of years ago, I had to help a friend find an airport in Maine to land his Citation in March anti was not easy. His pilots were not that comfortable.
It's not like Jackson Hole, where you are very close to home, typically have a nice hangar for the plane, and the car{s}. And a long commercial runway, that is always kept clear other than in a storm. Or Aspen, where you can have 200 jets along side the runway at busy times. They must have created more space at the Bozeman airport. Just guessing
Baker's Bay really has huge appeal many people. We have some friends there. I would never work for us {aside from the costs, which eliminate it right away!} because we have spent many, many years in that part of the world....which has been remarkable unspoiled for generations. We love Abaco. Not sure if Baker's Bay is a plus. But, I also don't think it alienates many people. The YSC surely does not. Heck, there are something like 1500 tradesmen working there year round to handle the building.
Dave, I'd suggest that you may not have an accurate impression of the YSC, or their membership. It's a lot more than Bill Gates and Justin Timberlake. And Don't get the sense that people are flocking there just because they can. In fact, they actually turn people down. It's a club.
Maybe the HC guys were working your trophy wife plan. When I have been at the YSC, have not noticed too many. Unless you consider, Gisele. Mrs. Brady. to be one. Maybe he's a trophy husband. They evidently are very, very nice, and super down to earth. Nobody is mobbing them for selfies or autographs. A huge draw.
BTW, they were at BB this past weekend, as the Pats had a bye weekend. Nobody bugging them on the beach, or golf course.
I would not think the trophy wife would rush to Mt. Snow. No offense to those who love it, BTW!
