Too Snowy to Ski???

[hammer]

>>For the rest of us, though, unless you're crazy or a real risk taker, a blizzard definitely means it's "too snowy to travel".

She called Saturday morning, when the storm was still somewhere in the Ohio Valley. We had people arrive yesterday from New Jersey, Connecticut, Boston, and upstate New York. None of them had problems because they checked out the weather and left with plenty of time to arrive safely.

I agree that your situation was poor planning on the customer's part. If I were in a similar situation, I would have either tried to leave Friday and stayed somewhere along the way or I would have left very early Saturday morning.

My apologies to all for stimulating Beswift's "contrariness gland."

We know you think that you're God's gift to women, but do you also think that the world revolves around you? Somehow asking a personal question like you did, then faulting someone for answering it seems a bit too much. Please try attacking ideas instead of personalities, it only reflects your home life.

Maybe Greg will give you a medal. Otherwise, I don't see your point. How does the number of posts on this forum attest to this?

I think KingM was just using the forum to vent his emotions without any consideration for what we may state. First of all he didn't bother to review his msg. and correct the spelling on >>waive<<. Second he has to fill pages with his complaining and self-justification. Third, all he had to say was NO to the woman's request. I figured this is what bothered him. If it was poor planning, she pays a penalty. End of Story.

The only person around here that I've seen fill pages with their complaining and self-justification is you, maybe you should take some of your own criticism...

Too Snowy?

Hey beswift your convoluted logic and childish foot-stamping postings are pathetic. Neither humor nor sarcasm seems to penetrate your craniuum as you ramble on with your specious arguments and criticisms of one and all. Now you deign to correct someone's grammar and spelling? Do you know the quote about glass houses and and stones? The notion that someone should take english lessons from you because they misspelled or misused a word (a homonym in fact) is ludicrous. Try looking up "prabably" (your spelling) which you have repeatedly used. I know that in the "Boston" area you say "Baaaston" but the spelling doesn't actually change. Your Kindergarten teacher would have put you in the corner by now.

Ahh - so this board had the dreaded spelling police too...

Couldn't have been any more harderer than it was to read

HAHA.... I knew exactly what you were sayin...
As long as you can make out what a person is saying... Who the F cares if they make spelling errors...?

Good point! :beer:

In beswift's defense, not that he really needs it, and only on this one point, he was using the spelling error to show that KingM hadn't reviewed or edited his comment, thereby showing that he meant what he wrote, as he wrote it. As for the rest of it, well, we've gone far enough off topic already.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled topic.
I wonder if any resorts tackle this issue explicitly in their cancellation policies? It wouold still have to be vague, I guess, but language along the lines of "Cancellations due to dangerous weather conditions will be refunded if avoiding such conditions would force your arrival at an unreasonable date or time" or something like that might work.

In KingM's defense, I think that it would be difficult for ski resorts to have generous weather cancellation policies; this is New England, and it is winter, after all...

In beswift's defense, if you get past the insults, there are usually some good points that are made. Perhaps just a little more tact would be better.
