VAIL SUCKS

Yeah, Challenger was what, 36 years ago or so? She was a great NH teacher, but kind of ironic of one disaster paying tribute to another.
I saw it as a symbol of how out in orbit Vail management is given the current operating situation.

we can close the thread now. You won.
WTF is that ??? Am I missing something ?? Poor thing is gonna be a target for sure. I give it 2 weeks.
It's what you'll need to wear for next year's Vail COVID policy.

The people that only ski a few days per year are a lot more concerned about "getting their money's worth" out of their pass or ticket and thus I would think would be pretty upset by not getting a lot of runs in or overall not having "the experience of a lifetime" due to long lines
Vail Marketing's Response: "it is EPIC to think that we have made it possible for so many people to have such an EPIC experience!"

Vail Resorts Property Posts About Cheap Weekday Tickets, But They Aren't Open On Weekdays This Season...
The faithful skiers and snowboarders of Alpine Valley in Geauga County, Ohio are just a little bit confused by a recent Facebook post from the resort.

Just finished a morning sesh at Sunapee. The cold kept people away and it was ski on for 9 or 10 runs. Snowmaking going on in the Sun Bowl. Sunapee homers have it made, relatively speaking.
No pub during the week

Edd, looking for the Pub at 11:30? I guess you can't drink all day if you don't start early.

Always been an annoyance for me. On mountain bars should open at 10:30 AM all week long, if you catch first chair at 8:00, you are more than ready for a beer and chili by 10:30. Ski season pushes the entire day back three hours. January 10:30 = July 1:30.
It has been a long time since I've been to Sunapee, but what are the "rest areas" I see on the trail map at the side of certain trails at certain points? Are they portapotties or something?
And I take it that Sunapee does not have enough staff to open the Pub?

They have rest/stop areas identified at okemo as well. Didn't see them on the map, but they have signs up, similar to the "slow skiing" signs. I guess they are places where people typically congregate or potentially places they think are safe for people to congregate on slopes.

State - They also sell booze on the highway...
Interesting. I was wondering if that was the case--a designated meeting spot.

my first thought is this is unnecessary. Then I thought about more crowded slopes and maybe it does make sense. It still likely doesn't stop snowboarders from plopping down in bad spots or skiers standing in bad spots completely, but maybe it helps a little.
