VAIL SUCKS

[2Planker]

Broken and most of the Lift maintenance guys left last year.
Full assessment was to be done this summer, BUT that didn't happen either.

No yankee would be a disaster. It was such a zoo last year as is.

Has anyone reached out to Vail or the AT GM on this?

Good luck.

Last I checked, Attitash doesn't have a GM

To my knowledge wildcat does not have a GM, same dude that ran Attitash into the ground last year is still there.

So, per the email I just received, Vail is requiring customers (12 and up) to be vaccinated to eat in their cafeterias, and said they will do reservations for restaurants but I am unclear whether they are checking vaccination status for the sit down restaurants. Also unclear (to me) is whether we need reservations for the cafeteria this year (we did last year). No masks outside though and lifts at full capacity again. I am fine with all of this - curious what others think?

Seems like they threw darts at a dart board to come up with this. Vaccine and masks inside but no masks on lifts including gondolas and gondolas can be full.

I don't disagree - vaccination for cafeteria but not for regular restaurants? When I say I am "fine with this", essentially it doesn't affect my family as we are all vaccinated.. It definitely seems arbitrary though.

I don't like having to "show my papers" just to do something as simple as get a snack

I’m okay with this, easy enough to have a photo of vaccine proof on phone. My main wish is to have lifts operating at capacity and not have to reserve days so seems that will happen.

All the more reason to just stay out on the hill and ski. Lodges suck anyway

I had to re-read the e-mail after your post. I just skimmed it originally really quickly. You're right, the vaccination requirement seems to only apply to the cafeteria style venues. Very strange...

Sounds like a CF waiting to happen.

Proof of vaccination will be required of guests wishing to dine indoors, but will not be required for an indoor bathroom visit, according to Vail Resorts’ 2021-22 winter operating plan published Monday.

Most importantly no reservation system to ski

Not thrilled at the thought of taking a gondola ride with a group of coughing maskless anti-vaxxers.

True BUT they're also supposed to check an ID when checking your vacc. card

So if I'm reading it the way you are... proof of vaccination would be required to grab a quick burger at lunch, but not to spend two hours in an apres-ski bar?

That does seem fairly arbitrary to me?

Yea...it really doesn't make a lot of sense. Requiring it across the board at all indoor dining locations would have made far more sense.


This from their FAQ is also is going to be rather interesting to see how well they can handle:

How often will you check my proof of vaccination?
Every time a guest enters an indoor, on-mountain quick-service restaurant, proof of COVID-19 vaccination will be required for those 12 and older. Vail Resorts will not be tracking or recording any guest vaccination status information.

I am guessing that your proof of vaccination will be linked to your Epic Pass or Day Ticket, which they will scan when you enter a building.

Probably will just need to get things uploaded into their system at the beginning of the season and then will be all set for the remainder of the season

To complain further, Vail said they are going cashless which is annoying to me

At least they say they're going to load the lifts normally and will not require reservations - if Vail is doing this then others probably will, too
