VAIL SUCKS

[Mainer]

The kitty is starting better than last year. Will they run all their lifts when all the parking lots are full and having people park at great glen trails. Because it sucks to
wait in a 45 minute line and all the lifts are not running. I still have ptsd from the last 2 years there.

Mountain High is bringing back the classic "Mac vs PC" videos, but with an independent vs mega pass twist. pretty funny.

At that point you’d think just give the employees Thanksgiving off and open Friday! That used to be the tradition at the Cat!

I can think of nothing more Vail than blowing it on an announced opening day and moving it to a holiday.

And they wonder why they have such a hard time recruiting people.

I wonder if Attatash and Wildcat are sharing the same snowmakers?

Yeah that’s true, this is 100% another Vail Fail

Has any snow been made at attitash this year? If so was it the same day they were blowing snow at wildcat?

Vail’s slide in resort rankings has no impact on visitation, business leaders say

Each year, various national magazines compile rankings for top destinations, hotels and ski resorts. This year, Vail Mountain fell off the Top Ski Areas in North America list from Condé Nast Traveler and maintained its...

Did anyone go to Sunapee today for opening day? Hoping to go Sunday . Meant to rain, but ok if it puts people off. Just need to get one run done so I can say I skied in November.

Fuck it I bought an epic vet again mostly so I can ski wildcat and also stowe. I feel fairly confident things will improve over last year. Same as last year I will not give them 1 dollar beyond the pass. I'll pack a lunch and of I want a beer I'll do it in the parking lot. Vail still sucks however.

$20 an hour and no vax mandate should get them all the employees they need. That’s more $ than most jobs are advertising in the Conway daily sun. Will they hire enough people or cut corners because they don’t want to pay a lot of people that much is the question.

Mount Snow is visibly well staffed. Don’t know if the same goes for the MWV but time will tell.

So did Wildcat open?

I went this morning. One run open from the top with a small diversion to mix it up. Firm and fast. Too many beginners with no terrain for them, but not bad. Good coverage and nobody there.

So we went today. More staff there than skiers! Only one run from top, but at least they made the effort to have a carpet in the beginner area set up. I am hopeful the staffing issues will be better this year. Certainly lots of staff today for training etc. Summit lodge is open for hot food, drinks and even a bar with 3 beers on tap! So hopefully that will spread out some of the lunch time crowds compared to last year. Snow was pretty good really, not worth a long drive for limited area but we were close by for other reasons so spent a couple hours. But rain started as we were leaving. But did not suck.

At wildcat today and it's not a disaster. Resurfacing existing terrain and blowing to be able to use tomcat chair. Lots of staff around and just a handful of skiers. I think it might be a good year. Plz snow soon!
