I hear the Class Action Suite is very nice at the Arrabelle at Vail.

Vail Resorts Stock Continues To Fall Amidst Widespread Criticism of Operations
I'm not going to pretend like I know jack-shit about the stock market, but I do know one thing- a company isn't doing something right if their stock is

Good..fucking parasites!
So I talked to a couple folks up here today that work at Big Sky. The first guy moved out from Cape Cod this past fall. He is the retail clerk at Moonlight Basin. Nice guy. He told me that he commutes from Bozeman--one hour each way. But he really likes it here. "I am just glad this isn't owned by Vail--all I hear is how bad Vail is to employees."
We had a pass issue at Swifty Six. The gate attendant and I talked for a few minutes while we waited for them to fix my wife's pass. The guy is a second year employee. I asked how he liked it and he smiled and said he loved the mountain and that Boyne treated him well. "We all hear about Vail and its issues." His pay to man the RFID gates? $17.00 per hour. Granted housing in Big Sky is ridiculous but he also commutes. Every Big Sky employee I've seen today, to a person, has been great and friendly.

As a kid I loved it. I'm just thinking of the local kids that are off next week and Don't have a local area Monday and Tuesday. They make up a good part of that mtn. I feel like they should figure it out for that week

loved when my kids were on school having vacation on a different week than Mass. skiing midweek was always great. Everything was cheaper. Even traveling out of state was great.
Mass is more Epic apparently…
Not that it’s applicable, but my part of Vermont always did the vaca a week later due to Town Meeting day.
Not true. Others outside of the MWV are off too. It's pretty random. Durham is off this week. Most other surrounding towns in our area are off next week.

Now apparently they get this week AND the first half of next week off for Town Meeting day (Tues). At least in my bro-in-law's town of St. Albans. Rough...

If by "sometimes" you mean "most of the time", then hard agree. None of the lifts move and none of the lodges open w/o people as the immediate interface. Vail has dumped a bunch of money into the engine (lifts, lodging, infrastructure), but is running the car on bald summer tires (underpaid, overworked, under-supported employees). If you're in the customer service business (and frankly most other businesses), skimping on employee welfare seems....short-sighted.

Hmm..what i meant..in my experience is if you dont want to treat your employees well, you better pay them a hell of a lot to put up with it. Ski resorts dont do that.
