yup and last year Big Boulder was not the last to close (several were open longer) nor were they first to open (Blue, which is at a far lower elevation and is further south) in PA.

I'm not kidding. A big company like Vail is expected to watch what they're putting out. It's a lot more visible than some Mom-n-Pop place in the thick of woods.Truth in advertising? Who are you kidding?
Nice skiing at sunday river today. Barker quad was open and spruce/south ridge should be open by the weekend. Snow guns were blasting all over the east side of the mtn when I left. Driving by wildcat was a different story. No active snowmaking and lots of grass. This is a sad weekend for skiing in the MWV.

Day number five was fun - great day at sr, only took one picture but that is an eight year old girl having a great day with dad. Last year at this time we were epic passholders.

Sorry for the confusion by not quoting the posting immediately before mine. To clarify my point is that a Mom & Pop business is more likely to be slammed for misleading or false advertising than a big corporation. Mom & Pops have far less resources to fight any allegations than someone like Vail.

Blacking out northeast value passholders for opening days despite opening a week late #sucks

It is what it is. Weather regardless this early season, when folks bought their NE value passes, they knew this weekend was blocked out. Heck, if mother nature hadn't cooperated with snowmaking temps the last few days there may not of been any Eatern Epic Resorts open today.
Like it or not, it's not like Vail suddenly blocked these dates out on certain passes in just the last few days

Well they conveniently forgot last season, at least at Okemo.

Sorry bud, I want vail to go out of business and leave new england as much as the next skier but expecting them to waive blackouts on a dirt cheap pass during opening weekend is a bit much.

Yes, I also chose not to ski there today so it's no problem
Edit: somehow, you were able to use a 50% off ticket from your pass today though
