Will not be much and I doubt Thursday will be anything as in little accumulation with warmer temps during the day.

Great spring day today. Nosedive is loaded top to bottom. Nice soft bumps on Gulch but they're going fast. The summit needs some farming. No suckiness today.

As winter 20/21 approaches its natural end, in sharp contrast to the abrupt end of the 19/20 season, resorts will begin looking back at the successes

Ha! The photo of Katz and his "troops" needs to be included in the chapter on megalomania in every psych 101 textbook.
Right??!! What a douchey look on his face in that pic.
Looks like a shot from Star Wars or something.

So..he thinks that the sport is too dominated by white people and wants to solve that. Ok...how?
Is it price? yup its an expensive sport for sure but those of any denomination that want to do it and can afford to do it..do it. Those that can't don't. How they can solve that is anyone's guess since they seem to be a revenue driven entity. Also wants more people to come during midweek...well don't we all. Work tends to get in the way of that.
Not sure where he is going with this.

Well..there is that too...LOLRight??!! What a douchey look on his face in that pic.
Yeah I don't know if it was the article itself or his comments, but I left rather confused. Lack of crowding is the way forward? Then why drop the price of Epic and encourage more crowding?
I guess I was anticipating that he was going to say that the focus would shift to quality versus quantity, or to not focus on volume. But honestly I have no idea what the hell he is saying.

Maybe that’s on purpose. He meant to say nothing. Nothing concrete that is.
Well at least on this topic we fully agree!
True. He has to deal with Wall Street.
He wants to,
1. Get more people skiing
2. Lower Prices
3. Eliminate Reservations
And somehow that will lead to shorter liftlines??? Definitely not in favor of having to reserve a spot when you already paid for the pass but when its cost makes Vail resorts the walmarts of ski areas there must be a better solution.
Also the comment on virtual queues doesn’t bode well. I can see that leading to terrible things.

Looks like an angry former Vail employee. I bet she will not be a guest on the Epic podcast anytime soon!

That's also the first thing I thought of. And I don't like it any more than you men.
