VAIL SUCKS

[fbrissette]

....My son nearly lost his pass for two weeks for braking hard spraying a slow sign as he stopped to meet up....

You learn something new every day. I thought spraying slow signs was mandatory for kids and teenagers...

If I was a local taxpayer I probably wouldn't.

Maybe it's not an every day thing? If it is it's a ridiculous waste of money, I mean, the article even states they dont do real police work (although they could).

Cops on skis at Vail:

Cops on skis keep the peace at Vail and Beaver Creek. But they’re more likely to lend a friendly mitten.

VAIL — Det. Greg Schwartz spies a couple in need and skis up to them in front of the bright yellow “Slow Skiing” sign on Vail’s Northwoods run. “Can I take it for you?” he asks, reaching for the phone balancing in Lowell Zarzuela’s hand as he snaps selfies of himself and his wife, Angie. […]

I found the below quote in the article interesting....

The mid-mountain Cloud Nine Bistro at Aspen Highlands regularly sells more than 100 bottles of champagne every weekend lunch. (A Chicago man being sued in Pitkin County for an alleged hit-and-run crash at Aspen Highlands that injured another skier had just paid a $4,704 tab from Cloud Nine from earlier in the afternoon.)

Not surprising! If you ever drive East on I 70 there are a lot of skiing injury lawsuit billboards! Must be there incase someone is festering over an accident on the slopes.

Some of it are just different standard. Or, different tolerance to risk (of getting infected, death, etc.)

Canada has lower case & death per million population than the US. But it choose to close stuff, when the US choose to remain open with higher cases and death number. The Canadian border is closed to anyone who's not a citizen/residents. The US border is mostly open except for countries/regions with high infection rate.

Europe is the same there. Some country choose to stay open despite high numbers. Other country choose to close even their number aren't all that high.

so southern border immigrants have no Covid cases? ( Or masks, apparently) Mexico, all of Central America, etc.?

This is great. It's funny because it's (almost) true.

I skied ragged today with my daughter, the difference between an organization that gives a shit about their customers and one that assumes the next customer will replace the last customer could not be more apparent.

The surface today at ragged was better than anything vail has offered in nh since February.

There is more snow at ragged than wildcat.

One thing vail did well this year are the new bottle filling stations at attitash and crotched.

I never understood why they are not ubiquitous. Especially needed on warm spring days when the sun saps the hydration and beers go down easy.

Could not find any at ragged over the weekend and the closest I found at loon today were $4 bottles.

At Wildcat today I noticed new ski racks (I think).



Who says Vail isn’t investing in the MWV ?

You know Robert Katz is not laughing. He gave you all a 20% discount so no complaining.

They didnt even bother taking the 27 seconds necessary to flush the horizontal supports.

So Wildcat is calling it a season a week early. Some obvious back and forth on social media, with people defending them because we’ve had brutal weather since March began. But, this gives them a pass on the snowmaking earlier this year. Nearby Boyne areas are making them look pretty bad.

Cannon is closing after today. They had some "interesting" thin spots yesterday and it had been noted on here that they had been blowing a ton of snow. The connector trails were the issue.

Sunday April 11, 2021.

In true Wildcat fashion we’d like to end our season on a high note. After assessing our terrain we have decided that today, April 11th will be the final day of the 20/21 season. First off, we’d like to extend a HUGE thank you to the Wildcat staff who have kept us safe through a season like no other. We would also like to thank you, our loyal guests, for masking up, hanging in your mobile base lodges, and proving that the Wildcat faithful are the best around. Enjoy the spring turns and we look forward to seeing you next season. Cheers!



Please know that you will encounter variable spring conditions, not suitable for beginner skiers and riders.
