That seemed to work out real well for the last group that did it and was froze out of the end of season bonus

That's probably fair, as the pay would be negotiated by the union going forward. It's up to the new union to prove its worth by getting a better wage to compensate for that

The patrollers at Breck would have already knows that score and voted with that knowledge.

So....despite all the negative press and issues, how many of you renewed your Epic Pass? I mean come on now, Rob gave you all a 20% discount. In their view, money is all you care about.

I did, the Vets Pass is too cheap and they bought Wildcat. My hands are tied there and Sunapee is a good day trip hit for me. Crotched too, if I’m in the mood. I would’ve preferred to not do business with them, if more convenient.

Union voting is tough! The utility I worked for tried to unionize. They kept holding secret meetings to vote but every time they held the meeting word got out and those that did not want it showed and voting would fail. I was kept secret to get a majority of those linemen that did want a union. You do not need 100% of the people there.

Well for me, it's more like 35% discount (I took a medical this season, so my "pandemic credit" from last year got carried over).

How many will turn down a 35% discount "on principle"?

(I haven't bought yet, but intend to)

Yup ! SR Patrol Director threatened to fire us all when the "unionize talks" were brought up by a couple of our Juris Doctorate Patrollers.
That move cost him his job, and a handful of veteran top notch patrollers who were tired of the Boyne Corporate BS......

Yes I’m afraid our family of four did. Really wanted to switch this year as I am bored with the more “destination” Epic East resorts (Snow, Okemo) and would have enjoyed checking Killington or Sugarbush. But in the end we couldn’t give up Sunapee for our day trips, five days at Loon wouldn’t really cover the regular weekends. So let’s see how it goes with better lift loading and hopefully people will be back spending their weekends as the mall next year instead!

We did. And Ikon. Since we go to Stowe, SB and PC.

They still have malls?

I did because my PA ski hill 4 miles from where I type is a Vail property.

Was seriously considering Ikon as well. Then a whole bunch of expensive house things needed replaced, hot water heater, water well and pressure tank (well is 550 ft deep so pump is $$$) and HVAC system is likely not to make it through the year.

I really wanted the Ikon as well and in a typical year I could float it. Especially this year with the "Discount" it would've been nice to have an Epic Local and an Ikon base. Oh well...

Why do you need to heat hot water? Isn’t it already hot?

When I drove back to NJ from VT last weekend I drove through Paramus in NJ. It was a zoo. The malls I passed were packed. You'd never have known we were still technically in the middle of a pandemic based on how crowded they looked. Looked very close to pre-pandemic level crowds.

I was out on the road last Saturday with beautiful weather here in CT and the traffic was unreal. Like peak summer Saturday traffic. Nuts.

Our money went to Ikon this upcoming season since we are spending some days skiing in Europe in 2022. We'll also grab and Indy Pass for quick hit mountains.

unlike Iceland, no public hot water here in south central PA

 

[kingslug]

Water heater is a great DIY job..they get around 2 to 3 K to replace them..Cost me the price of the heater and a few hours time. Then I spent the savings on new skis. Same as the booster pump..wanted another 2 K. Pump was $600.00 and 2 hours to put in.
Our well pump went ...as well..that is not..a diy job..

Correct it is called a water heater not a hot water heater

 

[dblskifanatic]

We went Epic Veteran and Ikon does not have an equivalent. Plus being based in Boston Sunapee will be our day trip ski area (have not been there in 15 years. A couple Crotched days And a couple weekend trips in VT. Other wise it will be spent in CO. Plus we may be living back there in the middle of the season. To be honest, I do not let all the politically correct or negative bullshit influence decisions. Where else do I get a pass for about $450 and get to ski some cool resorts. I do not need Loon SR or SL or Killington or even SB. Just need to have some turns here in the east. If it is up to my wife we would only ski in CO.

Not around here......
Just paid my bill w/ Sila Plumbing ($1,300) and it clearly says HOT WATER HEATER Replacement
