nope... NOt an issue to me, but if it was, pretty sure there is no way to get a refund or credit.

for sure. Just like last year. Reservations were easy to come by it just took some planning. which was sort of annoying but I still used my pass 47 time by 2/11 when I broke my collarbone

Posted tonight on his social media pages, Bruce Jacques, who has been a staple in Cuzzins at Mount Snow for 25ish years playing to packed crowds, has been booked on multiple weekends in Dec-Feb.
Nothing about capacity limits or anything like that, but a sign that Mount Snow atleast is going to try some apres ski bar events this coming season!

Honestly one of the things that brought some "normalcy" into year 1 of COVID is Bruce did live streams on Friday nights at 7PM from early April of 2020 until roughly May of 2021 when he was able to start booking regular live in person shows.
The act when he's infront of a big crowd hasn't changed much over time, but hearing and seeing his show with all those familiar tunes just brings out something in most folks that simply feels good!
I am lucky enough that one of the non ski establishments that he plays a couple of times a year at is in the town I work in, and was actually the 1st live show he did about a year ago, after COVID hit.
He actually as a result of that show last September got booked by my friends who are the social chairs of their Country Club, and played their in July, and my wife and I got to talk with him for a bit that night.
Truly a staple of the New England apres scene for the last quarter century with his regular Mount Snow, Stratton and Wachusett shows

Ski Cooper looks to outpace nearby Vail with $15.25 per hour starting wage
Hiring has not been a problem so far at Ski Cooper, and the 480-acre ski area in southern Eagle County and northern Lake County hopes to keep it that way.

we bought his album a million years ago and there's a corny jimmy buffet-esque tune called kicking back which has an earworm chorus that I will never forget.

Vail put out their list of upgrades and shit for next year. I only saw the blurb of Park City stuff. More big fancy lifts.
I left the west. Back east I am. Back in the ski area business - no I’m not some wildcat Vail GM. Would have to pay me a million + to put up with Vail again.
It’s humid back here. And rains. And nothing is on fire. Kinda nice?

Apparently Vail is 67% ahead of their season pass sales pace today compared to this time in 2019-2020. So pre Covid. That's insane. Between that and no reservations this season, weekends should be pretty fun!

Feels like it rains every day, never seen the lakes over the spillways all summer. Where are you working?
Did they include Epic Day pass numbers in the 2019-2020 numbers? Did the 2019-2020 numbers include Peak pass sales? I feel like there's a lot of room for "creative accounting" here to help account for the 67% increase...
FWIW, I picked up a single day Epic Day pass this year so I helped their "season pass" numbers. I figured for $67 it was hard to pass up a day at Stowe as who knows if they keep prices this low next year. My plan is to get up there for a mid-week day at some point this winter so I don't need to deal with weekend crowds.

I would think not.
So the increase would be just the "accounting", counting the previous Peak pass holders.
I don't know about Epic Day Pass inclusion in that data. Not sure about how they factor Peak Pass into the equation. That's what I bought in spring of 2019 and I can't recall when I converted it to Epic.
As a publicly traded company, you might be able to dig down a bit deeper into the data.

I saw some complaints regarding the confusing messaging regarding vaccinations in cafeterias. Boston is toping that - face masks are again required to enter restaurants but once seated you can be shoulder to shoulder at the bar or very close at a table. I feel like people want to do something but not go whole hog - so they make minor arbitrary rules that do not make a whole lot of sense,

Honestly dude, you just seem eternally confused by everything based on all your posts since COVID began. Maybe just munch down a pot brownie and accept it. You don’t know what’s going on, I get it.
