The interviewer
Our client, Silverpine Resorts, operates three ski resorts in New England. EBITDA has fallen from $50m to $28m over the last three seasons, and the CEO puts it down to three poor winters. The board is not convinced and wants to know what is really driving the decline and what to do about it. How would you approach this?
