skiing is just onepart
of thebusiness. The2,500-acre
resort inVermont (“It reminded
my familyofAustria,with
amazingviewsbut colder”) also
has an in-housebrewery that
producesAustrian-style lagers.
VonTrapp says, “Whileour
alpine skiinghas a tremendous
reputation, summer is alsoabig
timeof year. Andwhenyou’ve
got abrewery, that attracts
peopleany timeof year.
“I think thebreweryand the
skiingwill beequal aspectsof the
business, but it does adda certain
diversification. Skiing ismuch
more seasonal.”
