Help With Ice Out

Nice video.

It raises a questionL are less people riding the Mount than they did 49\0 or 50 years ago?

To my casual eye the number of passengers visible on the deck in the past few decades seems to have decreased substantially, perhaps to the point of unprofitability.

I agree. It does seem like a lot less passengers than many years ago. Sometimes it looks almost empty. In recent years the schedule has been substantially cut back too.

That may be one of the reasons they purchased the Spirit, to entertain smaller groups at a lower operating cost. There may be another smaller boat purchase for them in the works as well. That may be be confirmed in the next 60 days.

Another thought: there are a lot more boats on the lake these days and not as many folks going out for a day on the lake on a commercial vessel. Now they go out for the day on their own boat.

Weekends may be busier but probably not to the extent of say 10 yrs ago.

I thought the same but last summer I saw it quite a few times with a lot of people so hoping they were doing better.
