Our experience with Rick Gibson was excellent from start to finish. He stayed in constant communication and made the whole experience go smoothly. He took the time to inform me on how the mountain works differently for other purchases and made sure we were making an informed decision that was right for our family. I highly recommend Rick for purchase both on the mountain and elsewhere. Thank you Rick from the Green Family.
