AG James Wins Case Against Central New York Ski Resort Owner for Illegally Shutting Down Competition
NEW YORK – New York Attorney General Letitia James won her case against Intermountain Management (Intermountain) when a judge ruled the ski resort owner illegally stifled competition after it purchased and shut down Toggenburg Mountain, its main competitor. In October 2022, Attorney General James sued Intermountain, alleging it illegally created a monopoly in the Syracuse market, causing skiers to suffer higher prices and more crowded mountains and facilities due to the lack of competition. In addition, Attorney General James alleged that Intermountain’s “no-poach” provision, which prevented Toggenburg’s owners from hiring Intermountain employees, was anticompetitive and illegal. In a ruling granting the Office of the Attorney General’s (OAG) motion for summary judgment, the court found both of Intermountain’s anticompetitive tactics violated New York’s antitrust law.
