"What Intrawest and its imitators care about most is not skiing or the natural environment, but growth and income. In that, they’re not all that different from other extractive industries on mountain lands. In this case, the corporate ski industry treats nature as a place to be mined, as much for real estate resources as recreation."

Clifford, Hal. (2003). Downhill Slide: Why the Corporate Ski Industry Is Bad for Skiing, Ski Towns, and the Environment, retrieved August 2, 2004 from http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1578051029/002-5104335-4353665?v=glance#product-details. (Amazon listing.)
"In this impassioned expose, lifelong skier Hal Clifford reveals how publicly traded corporations gained control of America's most popular winter sport during the 1990s, and how they are gutting ski towns, the natural environment, and skiing itself in a largely futile search for short-term profits."

"How could the Forest Service think that it was appropriate to trade the whole hillside from North Shore Drive practically to Gull Lake into private hands?"

INTRAWEST: THE DISNEY-FICATION OF VERNON: Letter to EnviroNews, Sept., 2000, concerning IntraWest development in NJ.
"In California, at Intrawest's Mammoth Mountain development, the company has used bullying tactics, threatening to leave town if they didn't get exactly what they want. Is this the kind of neighbor we want in our community? Apparently, Intrawest's concerns for local people's needs stops at lip service - "Norman Rockwell on steroids": not a very pretty picture."

Obituary: The Demise of Farley's Restaurant: Letter in the Mountain Gazette, 2001, concerning Intrawest tactics.
"The events that led to Farley's demise do not suggest that Intrawest played the big corporate bully. The tactics were far more subtle."
