    Email JD. I already have. Maybe if enough people tell him what BS this is it will change.

    VAIL SUCKS

    As much as I complained about Vail’s complete abandonment of Wildcat, this may have been a blessing in disguise. The mountain is skiing great. Real Packed powder. Hardly any ice. All because of their refusal to make snow. No snowmaking ice. Snow does not get pushed off trails. We got lucky with...

    VAIL SUCKS

    Didn’t les make the canyon lift at big K and open up and cut the superstar trails. canyon is terrible. sr was not a sleepy hill prior to les. They had base condos and were expanding. Sure he made it a major destination, but really every trail feels the same. he ruined the ski experience. I don’t...

    VAIL SUCKS

    Like I said I don’t know Les Otten. May b a good guy. Certainly has balls, but all he did was create a bunch of soulless duplicative ski areas. He is not a skier. No skier would ever create that crap. That’s why I despise him.

    VAIL SUCKS

    Bear peak at Attitash and Sunday River. Indiscernible. Cookie cutter. Les Otten ripped the soul from NE skiing. Killington, SR, the Bush existed long before him and would continue to exist without him. He sucks. He’s not a skier, never was. He’s a businessman and never understood skiers

    VAIL SUCKS

    Les often is the worst thing that ever happened to NE skiing. Widen all trails. Take out natural terrain variations. no double fall,lines. Straighten them, take away the character of everything. Cookie cutter trails all over the mountain. Everything looks and feels the same. Snowmaking...

    VAIL SUCKS

    i guess this is what happens when you are publicly traded. Must meet revenue and profit projections. Keep stock price stable. I will never buy epic again.

    VAIL SUCKS

    Disgraceful. Never buy Epic again. That’s the only way and make sure they know we are going to tell every skier we know what a scam Epic is.

    VAIL SUCKS

    Can we still get any money back on Epic. I don’t think so, correct?

    VAIL SUCKS

    thats unfortunate to hear about Solitude. As for snowmaking, out west it’s a whole different world. They just can’t compete with east coast snowmaking so expectations need to be tempered. Of course there a good reason why that is And everybody out East wishes they had such a “problem”. I...

    VAIL SUCKS

    Most deceptive snow reports

    It’s not just the deception of Cannon, it’s that insane exuberance about a couple inches of snow. Skiing Cannon is like eating a McDonalds hamburger your whole life. Then the first time you have a burger from Wendy’s you think it’s epic. Sent from my iPhone using AlpineZone

    Most deceptive snow reports

    I have to put Cannon at top of the list. If I hear them describe conditions as epic or legendary again I’m going to loose it. Every time they get 4” of snow they report like it’s a legit powder day. They remind me of Killington in the 90’s. I actually think reports have gotten a lot better and...

    Bretton Woods to install Gondola

    What a silly waste of money. These are exactly the types of decisions that put ski areas out of business year after year. They are taking on 15 million in debt and will be lucky to increase revenue 50k per year. Now if they could have hooked that up to the Hotel like at Beavercreek, they may...

    Pre-Xmas/Xmas week weather

    The more I read from reliable sources, the more certain it appears that we make break the 6 year streak of warm and poor Christmas weeks. It is loaded up and there appears to be opportunities for storms a few times p week until the end of the year. Even if we only strike gold on 50% of these, we...
