I just got a call from my travel agent. We had a trip to Red Mountain in BC planned for the 17th to the 24th, but they have no snow. The only terrain that's open is greens and blues. However, Red was kind enough to call my agent and offer either a discount if we decide to go anyway, or a raincheck/full refund. We'll take a hit on the airfare but I'd rather lose a couple hundred bucks than spend $1500 to go and have it suck.
So now we're trying to see if we can get a deal to Jackson, UT or CO. It's going to be hard to find flights last minute but that would be our first choice. If we can't do that, we'll probably just use the money to stay in northern VT and hit Jay, Stowe, Bolton Valley, and Sugarbush.
As much as it sucks, I'm really impressed with Red Mountain. They care enough about their brand to want to ensure we have a good experience. How many resorts would take the initiative like they did? Very few.
We also had 2 days of cat-skiing booked so we'll be taking a rain check on that. I just hope next year is better for them.
