Is this a beer league or race league for your kids?

Beer league
No the price includes the lift ticket. So basically it's $11 per day for skiing from 3 to close with two runs down the course.
$700 per team for the season and you can have up to 7 members. They try and find you free agents if you don't have 7 people on your own.

How do they not offer refunds to local Epic pass holders of this place?

Yeah, Blomback (the GM) knows what he's doing. When everyone was installing fancy lifts they did snowmaking, and then snowmaking. When they were done, they did more snowmaking. It's the lifeblood of a ski area around here. I think it shows when they are now constantly smoking many of the big players (and their long time rival Crotched) on a yearly basis to the opening bell. Only when they were comfortable did they put money into lifts, and even then they were smart investments. A hill with the vert of Pat's does not need a high speed lift, they need redundancy and capacity and they have it.
Just a well oiled machine that many look up to as a success story.

another Fail by Vail
we actually get some natural snow in PA ~6" and its 21 degrees. Buddy is at Roundtop and no snowmaking anywhere and most of the intermediate and expert terrain is not open yet. Totally embarrassing. Place is run by total pieces of shit every single one of those people in Broomfield are shit heads.

Hey Attitash folks, Vail hears you on the Summit Triple. Perhaps this application to the NFS for its replacement will help you "forget" all the problems at Attitash?
Wow. Never thought I'd see the day
Well, shovel has not met dirt yet, so anything can happen.

Wow....the lift that's been due for replacement for half the time it's been there is finally getting replaced....

Maybe this summer. Note, the size (4 or 6) and manufacturer are not locked in. Given the huge demand on lift manufacturers, I would be surprised Vail could slip one more in. Unless they decide to shift an already announced detach install somewhere else to Attitash.

How’d you find out about this?

My thoughts exactly. I'd bet Mount Snow is losing one of their lift replacements until 2023. Unless Vail has a back-pocket lift system laying around elsewhere

I just saw that Vail is reducing hours at several of their former Peaks Resorts.

Better hope that Attitash replacement wasn't the passion project of their GM, 'cause Greg Gavrilets is apparently resigning. Now they're short another lifty.
And in other Attitash news....the GM just resigned
