Good point about the quad chairs! I saw that they sold 50 of them, never saw anything about them getting new chairs!

I skied the afternoon at Mt Snow today. The Bluebird was closed due to "weather". The weather was near perfect, calm, couple flurries. They ran Grand Summit in it's place. Start, stop, start, stop. All afternoon. Annoying.
The skiing itself was pretty unspectacular. Same old 3 runs of dust on crust. There was one section of Choke open with some bumps, that was fun, and the edges of Canyon has some playful snow. Hopefully won't be going back anytime soon.

Were they making snow on Lodge up near the Summit by chance today?
If so, that will very often have them not running the Bluebird, especially if it's not a busy day, so as not to get the bubbles, and the folks potentially on them, from getting plastered by the guns, which at times as caused some issues with safe operation of the bubbles? I can personally attest to that in the past!

Then be honest about it. Not hard to say, hey we are running the GS due to snowmaking that would make the BB ride uncomfortable.
Then again, the simplest forms of communication and customer service are totally lost on Vail.

They were making snow, or trying anyway as I didn't see any production, under both lifts. It certainly would have have been much more comfortable under a bubble rather than getting plastered in the face on the Grand summit. And as DHS said, why not speak the truth!Were they making snow on Lodge up near the Summit by chance today?

The snow and weather report actually said they weren't running Bluebird today in order to maximize snow making on Lodge.

Probably shouldn't have had a giant sign at the Bluebird saying closed due to weather one would think. Personally, I gave up going to any Vail owned websites, because, well, almost useless.
How many people do you think will be checking for VAX cards at Attitash or wildcat? I’m just curious because I know they’re not gonna run All the lifts because they Are going to say they’re short staffed. I don’t care about the vaccine requirement unless it takes away from running a Lift. Very few businesses in New Hampshire require this if any. It is just virtue signaling, I had the vaccine and I just got Covid.

Vail wide, the only time, as of now, unless there are specific local requirements, that they're checking one's vaccination status is of you're going inside a lodge to eat at a Cafeteria style restaurant and a few select table service restaurants.
At Mount Snow last weekend, they had a tent set up outside of the base lodge entrance where they had an employee checking to see if you had either your actual vaccination card, or a photo of it on your phone or if applicable a vaccination status app.
How that will be at other resorts? I guess that remains to be seen as they open up for the season

They seem consistent with policies between mountains. Indoor dining appears to require proof of vaccination. Otherwise not required.

I was at Stratton Monday. Requiring masks inside, full stop. No vaccination or testing requirement that I saw. Reservations needed to sit inside. I do not know what, if anything, they require on the Gondola, I did not ride it.
This is indeed absurd. No word still on opening dates for Attitash and Wildcat.

You missed a post earlier. Wildcat opening Friday using the Tomcat lift.
Attitash pushed back opening date with nothing scheduled yet. So, Vail will have a total of 2/3rds of a trail open in the MWV for this weekend.
Fun!
Maybe they'll drop the pass price another 20% next year

Heard attitrash opening 12/11…
It's pretty bad when Jack Frost in Pennsylvania stands a chance of opening before Attitash. We need a "Let's go Brandon" slogan for Vail.
Not even a Biden supporter but “Let’s Go Brandon” is cringeworthy. The name of this thread is an apt slogan.
