“The key piece to our strategy is to focus not just on the WMNF, but also develop complementary glade options in contiguous areas including state, municipal and third party properties. The underlying rationale is we are digging after something deeper – such as building communities around outdoor winter recreation.”

— Tyler Ray, Granite Chief
