VAIL SUCKS

[crystalmountainskier]

Really? That's ridiculously low for that kind of work IMO.

I know marinas around Winnipesaukee are offering $20/hr to kids right out of highschool with zero experience. Upwards of $50 for certified marine mechanics

Look them up on Indeed. The ski industry is the ski industry.

Did Vail buy the lift companies too?

PARK CITY COME ON DOWN YOU'RE THE NEXT CONTESTANT ON MANDATORY PAID PARKING!

I assume they wont stop till all the mtns are paid parking. If you're a weekend skier with an Epic pass vibes. Up next: Okemo and Sunapee

PARK CITY COME ON DOWN YOU'RE THE NEXT CONTESTANT ON MANDATORY PAID PARKING!

What do you prefer?

Stowe where the road is jammed for 2 hrs in the morning and 2 hrs in the afternoon?

Or Breckenridge where you get to CHOOSE to pay to park next to the lift, or park at a free lot and ride the bus in? (With substantially reduced traffic)

i prefer to not ski either of those over touristed shitholes.

Those "shitholes" are full of snow in April. Excellent terrain with few people on it.

In fact, just about everyone I shared a lift with 2 weeks ago were locals sneaking out for a few runs, in their carefully arranged work day which makes that possible.

But yet, if you're so blessed to not have to share a mountain with those, all the power to you.

lol wut?

there are plenty of places with plenty of snow in April that arent owned or associated with vail and their shitpass and parking extortion.

if i was in colorado, i'd be at a-basin. not breckenridge. and i'd park on the beach. for free.

On a windy and low visibility day?

Be my guest!

I was lapping the E Chair at Breck, powder filled tree-lined runs, ski-on each run.

(And if I were stuck with IKON, I'd ski at Winter Park rather than A-basin! Far better skiing than AB with rosy glasses from afar)

Didn't they start charging to park there?

 

[KustyTheKlown]

havent been in a couple years. i could see the front row of the beach being a reasonably paid parking spot. but i also assume there is still free parking in their main lot on the correct side of the road

Just about to say that. It is going to make the current problems worse because folks will continue to crowd the streets looking for free parking.

Vail Resorts to Implement Paid Parking at Park City Mountain Resort, UT, Next Season - SnowBrains

Less than a week after introducing paid parking at Stowe, VT, Vail Resorts yesterday announced they will be doing the same at Park City

Rather not waste 2 days flying and traveling, getting a place to stay and renting a car and paying for parking at an airport for spring skiing where I have to worry about low visibility days

 

[KustyTheKlown]

checked their site. all main lots, including the big lot on the closer side of the road are free. there are a limited number of paid spots. i assume those are like the first half of beach spots, and the first row or two closest to the buildings. normal.

tell me you are not a very good skier without telling me you are not a very good skier - 'i prefer winter park to a-basin'

The Mary Jane section has some nice bumpy stuff to keep a good skier busy.

You're telling him you're not a very good skier!

KTK's definition of "good skier" is you'd better like what he likes because he's such a hot shot skier.

I was gonna say get to know that area and it's got lots and lots of challenging stuff.

 

[KustyTheKlown]

ive skied MJ plenty. the chutes are fine when they are open. eagle wind is fun but short. a-basin is way better for sustained steep skiing.

my main point here is why the fuck would i pay to park at stowe or breckenridge when i can just ski at places that have nothing to do with vail.

Stowe existed long before Vail acquired it (so was Breck).

And who's to say it may not become non-Vail at some later point.

Both are fine mountains that, had they not be Vail property, you would have count them as "mountains for good skiers"!

Yes, we know you were TRYING to make a point. But it's a strange way of doing it. And it totally fell flat.

However "good" a skier you maybe, a good communicator you're clearly not.
