Speeding toward Trouble: Jay Peak Resort versus the Town of North Troy, VT
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Bill Stenger, President of Jay Peak Ski Resort in Jay, Vermont, watched a couple bickering loudly in French approach the entrance to Jay Peak's lodge. As a longtime resident of northern Vermont, Stenger knew enough French to pick out the words police, ticket, and fine. Immediately Stenger knew the pair were the latest victims in an ongoing battle between Jay Peak Resort and the village trustees in North Troy, a tiny village that hugged the Canadian border. Three years ago, the trustees had hired part-time constable Larry Zenobos to restore order in the unruly village. One of Zenobos' duties was to safeguard residents from Canadian motorists who roared through North Troy as they rushed to travel the final ten minutes to Jay Peak. The constable enforced North Troy's 25 mile-per-hour speed limit aggressively, issuing speeding tickets to unsuspecting Quebecers in what Stenger claimed were disproportionate numbers. Such a ticket would ruin a outing before it began, and Stenger believed that Zenobos' enforcement practices actively discouraged Canadian skiers from patronizing the resort. To date, Stenger's appeals to North Troy's constable and village trustees had gone largely ignored; Zenobos continued to issue speeding tickets freely. While he did not condone unsafe driving or question the trustees' duty to safeguard residents, Stenger knew he had to do something--his business depended on it. But what could he do to resolve the problem? Jay Peak: The Skier's Mountain Founded in 1955, Jay Peak is a 385-acre four-season resort located in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom (anonymous, 2003a). The mountain's location and elevation (2,152 vertical feet) combine to create extraordinary amounts of powdery snowfall--at up to 300 inches per year, the heaviest accumulation of snow east of the Mississippi River (Jay Peak Area Chamber of Commerce, 2008). Heavy snowfall, extended ski seasons, challenging trails, and extensive glade skiing earned Jay a reputation as a skier's mountain, with conditions rivaling those found among the finest resorts in the west. In addition to lifts and an aerial tramway, the resort featured a lodge, pool, hotel, and condominiums that were rented to skiers by the week (a $10 million 18hole golf course was completed in 2006) (Russell, 2006). During the ski season, Jay Peak employed approximately 400 employees, making the resort the largest employer in the area (Ring, 2006). Because it required at least 90 minutes to drive to Jay Peak from Burlington--Vermont's most populous city--and local residents in nearby villages had little discretionary income, the resort relied heavily on the custom of Canadian skiers traveling from Montreal and Quebec's eastern townships. Although Canadian ski resorts Orford and Sutton were closer, neither boasted the conditions and challenges featured at Jay Peak. Bill Stenger worked hard to lure Canadian tourists to his resort: in 2006, approximately 100,000 visited Jay Peak. Quebecers comprised 55% of the resort's clientele and 65% of the resort's 3000 season tickets holders (anonymous, 2003b). Unlike local Vermonters who paid discounted prices for lift tickets, Canadian skiers without season passes were charged full price (anonymous, 2003b). Jay Peak was not the only business that relied on Canadian tourists. The mountain was ringed by tiny villages filled with convenience stores, motels, restaurants, pubs, ski and snowboard shops, gift shops, and vacation homes that were rented to tourists by the week. Although the Northeast Kingdom's covered bridges and colorful autumn foliage drew tourists throughout the year, the bulk of sales revenue was collected during the busy ski season (usually early November through late March). Slowing Down Crime in North Troy In 2003, the village of North Troy experienced a crime wave--break-ins, burglaries, vandalism, harassment, speeding, and driving all-terrain vehicles on village streets were rampant. …
