Paying for parking will only keep some of the locals away..who will probably end up at SB.
They hate Vail as it is...
There is no solution with passes this cheap and 1 road in and out.

So I'm still confused how they are going to know whether you have 4 people in a car or not if payment is all electronic?

 

[Kingslug20]

Since they are hiring a parking company and not doing it themselves...now I'm convinced they will have a plan...if they can find staff to do it.
We are having staff issues across the board up here.

 

[jimmywilson69]

makes sense... Maybe they should build a gondola from town

Do we actually know that they're hiring a company to do it or is that speculation? Is that how they they do it at Mt Snow?

Interstate parking...looks like they are trying to hire for Stowe.
We shall see.

They left out the part where you will freeze your ass off up here...standing in a parking lot.

LOL

I'd imagine anyone looking for that job already knows that, but who knows...

They also left out the part about having to deal with pissed off people that don't want to pay all day long...that might be a bigger factor than the cold weather!

Benefits include “A reimbursement of up to $700 towards your annual ski pass” … kind of weird that they don’t just give you an epic pass … maybe to boost the number of passes they can say they sold ? Or maybe because you are working for a subcontractor ? Would be funny to try to get reimbursed for an ikon pass.

This is very smart. Obvious shows they are not part of Vail. And I doubt there are many people in the immediate Stowe area looking for this type of work. So your workforce is likely to come from areas where they may prefer Bolton, Smuggs, MRG or Sugarbush. Or Cochrans - don't want to forget the little guys!

Raise the pass price for premium properties. Increase the number of black out days too.

Have a feeling there is significant earning potential with the "parking ambassador" job. At every resort they operate at, the nonpayment rate is huge and they throw tickets on cars like candy. I get the sense compensation is based on ticket generation rate. One day at Crystal last spring it appeared they had ticketed approximately half of all cars in the lot. Even if only a portion ever get paid, there's significant upside.

I bet big companies like Vail are eyeballing robots.
