wp:BLP and wp:copyright would be problems as it was written. The article is about the resort. If he needs or has an article, maybe that would be a home for some of that, but probably not.- Sinneed 14:27, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
Re the link to bigmtn.info:
The link was removed earlier this month by Yworo ( talk · contribs) with the edit summary stating it was "unofficial site full of google ads". It was then re-added by 72.160.57.222 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) with the summary "unofficial link predates official site by many years". After reviewing the site, I agree with the removal. The site is advert-heavy with the content being only travel guide material, not expanding on the understanding of the article subject. --- Barek ( talk • contribs) - 16:28, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
too bad you did not bother to view the site during the ski season when it gave us the snow report WTF did you think would be there during the summer? this site is just driven by corporate greed and self appointed experts who pander to them Barek, how many times have you been to the resort? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.125.88.3 ( talk) 14:12, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
OK, so when marketing caught flack some years ago for trying to sell the mountain as being 7,000 ft in elevation (as to be higher than the competition) they backed off and adopted a benchmark some distance from the summit as the "official" elevation.
The elevation of the Big Mountain actually falls far short of 6,818 feet as purported in the wiki article and on WSI maps, brochures, etc.
Just Google Earth the area, the benchmark is easily found over on FAA hill. It's .40 miles distant on an azimuth of about 308 degrees from the Big Mountain Summit.
So, let's be accurate and truthful, please. Our visitors deserve nothing less. Tedpatten ( talk) 14:48, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

CHANGE THE ELEVATION TO THE CORRECT HEIGHT

how about the USGS maps which show that the Big Mountain does not even cross the 6,800 foot contour.
These maps were published in 1968 and could not possibly be original research 72.160.60.213 ( talk) 14:56, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
This is of importance to guests who rely on scheduling to plan their day. Please do not delete long standing material regarding this company's operations. Tedpatten ( talk) 16:00, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
