If you can afford to fly into the middle of the resort, you can afford a decent pilot?

I don't know about Tuesdays, Crotched is closed and all the regulars are going to one of the 2 others. Wednesday is probably tolerable. Vail sucks.

An orthodontist friend of the family from New Bedford crashed his plane on Mount Snow. Dentists at Mount Snow are a real menace. I also remember some mishaps with his Pearson 36 sloop.
I can't believe I am doing this, but bump. Something must be wrong.
PCMR Ski Patrol and Vail did not reach a deal. They will go back to the table again today.

A very interesting note in the article: the $2 per hour bonus only came AFTER PCMR Ski Patrol voted to strike. Some see the $2 bonus as a response to the $2 increase demand by the PCMR Ski Patrol. Specifically, the message being, "fuck you". And, "you have no leverage over wages."

Vail Resorts and Park City ski patrollers’ union remain deadlocked after 50th bargaining session
The 50th bargaining session between the Park City ski patrol union and Vail Resorts on Monday night resulted in the same conclusion as the previous 49 talks: a stalemate.

They should demand much much much more. Ski patrol is the 911 of every .resort. I got dragged off the hill and given a bag of ice... I want well paid well trained patrol. There's certain places not to cut corners.I can't believe I am doing this, but bump.

Ruining skiing one mountain at a time...
The corporate 1 size fits all doesn't work in anything honestly, and it certainly doesn't work in ski area management.
Its not a coincidence that Rob Katz has stepped down as CEO... He's made his money and will watch this dumpster fire while sitting on his stack of money.

Stevens Pass complaints reach fever pitch, and many season-pass holders are demanding refunds
The ski season is off to a rough start at Stevens Pass. Customer complaints have soared as over half of the mountain remains closed due to inadequate staffing, which has led to unplowed parking lots, long lift lines and bare-bones...

Without the Snowcat I wonder if they'll try to make enough snow to open Wild Kitten to give beginners a fighting chance on the mountain. Quad + Bobcat is better than Quad + Tomcat IMO. Especially if this storm materializes.
No skiing but maybe good food and drink?
So Vail won't give these employees a raise, but instead will pay to cover travel expenses, lodging, etc for non-Park City patrollers to fill in/cover for them?
