Well, the guy loves…skinning!
What’s that got to do with Vail sucks?

Those are the vegetables that EPIC passholders just threw at him.

the thing on the right looks like a mini football that I doubt Mr katz can throw very well. The things on the left may very well be "defensive tomatoes" for when he leaves Vail inc. and is peppered with tomatoes by the angry mob!

It looks like a fancy heirloom varietal like a San Marzano tomato, which he surely claims comes from "his" garden, but you know he didn't lift a finger working in it & instead has illegal aliens slaving for like $15 an hour under-the-table.

actually it looks like a store bought roma that was sprayed to ripen.

Props appreciated. I had the same reaction when someone texted me the link until I read that he was skinning. Frankly, I don't see how he can do it. At most he has 200 days (unless he is going south of the equator) and that's 15K per day; piece of cake with a HS-detachable lift - not so much using skins.
I remember going non-stop open to close at BMOM and with only fixed grip chair, I didn't quite make 20K!

If he can skin Stowe 4 times in 8 or 9 hours that about 9500. Throw in a bunch of bonus laps and he can be way ahead of schedule before heading south. Sounds doable, but crazy for sure.

That maybe."We're more than happy to take the EPIC credit!"

But half of the ski population (in northeast) doesn’t hate Vail. So they’re not reading this thread.
Poor guy, he doesn’t even get noticed by those have no connection with Vail, love or hate.
The memes and negativity in this thread have gotten really old.That maybe.

All earned though..............
I tried mentioning this in post 9,999 of this thread, the only thing that I got out of it was a bunch of crap. I did get my jazzy new avatar out of the exchange! Nothing else has changed in 700+ additional posts.
