VAIL SUCKS

Yikes! Vail treating them that poorly??

Or other mountains pay them more?

Sunapee announced on Facebook that they will open on Friday December 3 from 9AM to 4PM.

Magic apparently last week lost a couple of their snowmakers per a post on a FB snowmakers group. With the context of the couple who left taking bigger offers that they (Magic) couldn't match.

Snowmakers are in high demand, and it's a job that so many people wouldn't want to do for a season if they had the opportunity I suspect

Cranmore is opening Friday. Looks like it might be 2 years in a row they beat wildcat. Sad days for skiing in the mount Washington valley.

Same story at ragged: Opening Friday and looking to beat wildcat two years in a row.

Even pats is hinting at an imminent opening.

Vail's management should be lined up and shot for what they've done to Wildcat.

There's been a good amount of snow laid down. If wildcat doesn't open by the weekend I suspect there's some really big problems going on.

Heard Stowe lost a lot of them as well. They did not have a lot of guns on this weekend.

They just need to put the place on the market and take the first reasonable offer. It's obvious it is not making them much money nor do the care to try.

Someone should petition the USFS to annul their lease on the grounds of gross negligence and poor stewardship.

Let it be run by the state perhaps? I’m usually against anything government run but Cannon seems to do well enough.

New marketing slogans for Vail Resorts:

Wildcat:

Last to open and first to close.

Ski on natural ungroomed snow as nature intended.

Only at Wildcat!

EPIC Pass: We reduced the price by 20% because we realize that you'll have at least 20% less opportunity for a great skiing experience!

The northeast value pass is blacked out Dec 26-31, Jan 15-16 and Feb 19-20 at Stowe/Okemo/MtSnow. Wildcat and Attitash will be beyond shitshows during those periods. Especially Xmas given how little terrain will likely be open.

I'm also wondering if they intend to open off the Tomcat? I assumed they were blowing upper lynx-> middle wildcat-> bobcat, but maybe it's just middle wildcat-> bobcat?

I disagree, those places will probably be relatively empty with many people blacked out compared to previous years.

There are no blackouts at wildcat or attitash. NH is being relegated to overflow capacity under vail.

epicpass.com chat says Attitash and Wildcat are both opening Friday. But they have no details.

Vail is in lala land.

That chart must be upside down!

Maybe Vail Resorts should just contract out all of the NH areas but still honor Epic passes. Instead of a GOCO (Government Owned Contractor Operated) it would be a VOCO.

Wildcat is opening friday. Looks like one run off the tomcat triple. Hopefully they have replacements for all the quad chairs they sold for charity.

 

[snoseek]

I'll be there
