So I've been in multiple base lodges this season (Mount Snow, Stratton, Gunstock just off the top of my head for starters) where there is easy access, free bag check service, often with prominently displayed signs around the lodge letting people know that this free service is available for them.
And yet I still see lots and lots of people choosing not to use them, and leave their bags unsupervised in the lodge?? Heck yesterday afternoon when I was taking my boots off about 1:30 down in the lower level of the Gunstock Base Lodge in the room where their free bag check is located, from the looks of it there were way more bags NOT in the free bag check room than were???
I just don't get why people won't use a free service (Ok maybe most people like myself end up throwing a buck or 2 in the often present tip jar at the end of the day so it ends not not exactly being "free") that is there and helps greatly reduce the risk that your bag, or items within your bag could be stolen while your out enjoying the slopes??
Anyone else notice this at other mountains and/or actively choose not to use a free bag check service that a mountain provides??
