VAIL SUCKS

[thetrailboss]

Yup. Black, BW and SR all going strong.
Drove past both Att & Cat this morning.
Total Ghost town….

Sounds about right.

 

[thetrailboss]

All right, who is the culprit?

You got me…flew in from Utah to the World-Class resort of Okemo just to take out a child

Now it appears they are drawing Executive Management talent from Lululemon

 

[deadheadskier]

Lululemon have some F&B Director talent looking for a new gig?

 

[AdironRider]

Well I mean, based on this thread they are probably smart to hire outside based on how highly you regard the current decision makers.

Katz is a genius; so as not to upstage himself he hired from the one publicly traded company actually doing worse than Vail this year.

Pulicly traded companies trade executives like washed up baseball players...

thanks!


I can't wait to see what this transpires into "holistic guest-journey design"

Well, nefarious people apparently value Lulu much higher than the Vail product- Newbury St store ripped off 4x in 3 months- last one Sunday, and once in Chestnut Hill. They apparently come in broad daylight , last two pushing a bay carriage- good cover. Guess its harder to steal MM snow or lift passes. And resale value is more difficult.

Look for deals on CL or Ebay!

Absolutely pathetic, these incompetent bozos need to leave New Hampshire. Wildcat and sunapee do not have an opening day posted to the snow report, attitash not updated since the spring.

 

[LoafSkier19]

Absolutely insane. But not surprising. Bought a few Epic day passes to go to Stowe with all the new snow last week. The difference in price between the passes with access to Stowe and the low tier with just the NH properties was $95ish/day and $60ish/day for a 3 day pass. Shows you how much they value them vs their other properties

 

[BenedictGomez]

Maybe it's the ski resort version of the plot to Major League.

Vail will screw up royally on purpose until a billionaire offers them a huge sum for the property.

SIDEBAR: If you're an AZ youngun' who's never seen Major League, it's a really great sports movie.

I wish enough people would boycott the areas to the point that Vail considers selling but God only knows what that looks like.

"Feliz Navidad, bitches! I know that deep down inside you ALL love me EPICLY! I mean, it's not like you have much of a choice. May all your days be merry and white! And may all your Christmases be EPIC!"

Vail does not operate on Mother Nature's schedule; it sets its own.

I think Vail would shutter a place before selling it off. Has Vail ever sold off an entity?

 

[deadheadskier]

Ikon could use another NH area or two.

Come on Bobby! Let's make a deal!
