VAIL SUCKS

[Dickc]

Apparently Epic Northeast passes were listed as only blacked on 1-14. Vail is telling anyone who shows up today its a marketing error, that today, too, was blacked out, and that they need to purchase a ticket. This was appently at Okemo.

“Marketing error”? Isn’t that synonymous with “bait and switch”?

It’s not clear to me whether Vail is linked to that “marketing”. If it is, and it’s listed as “not black out”, Vail had to honor it. Anyone who bought the $100 ticket has every right to claim a refund.

And this is straight from the horse's mouth. If I were Vail, I'd be really careful not to piss off folks considering how shitty the season has been on the east coast. But then again they set new lows and yet people continue to go EPIC because apparently the only thing that matters is price.

This is terrible business. Just cut em a day tag and keep your internet bashing to a minimum.

Wildcat lost power for 2 hours.
Just starting up now

Thankfully I was not stuck on a lift this time (same thing happened 3 weeks ago and I was stuck for 45 minutes on the quad) and waited this one out… made the best of it. Grilled some sausages in the parking lot and lifts were running around 12:30. Maybe 300 people left on the mountain. Ended up being a stellar day.

Still…. 2 power outages on holiday weekends within 3 weeks? Ugh. And some folks were on the quad waiting to get off for well over 1.5 hours.

When the quad finally re-opened we were 3/4 of the way up my son points to something under us and says “someone spilled lemonade or something”. That wasn’t lemonade. Someone somewhere has a great story about someone else peeing off the lift during a power outage…..

LOL. I was actually on a lift once with someone that peed off the chair. The chair wasn't even stopped.... Not something I would do if I was by myself on a chair, never mind with people I don't even know.

They "marketing errored" all over that page, so they can't even claim it was a typing error. I see a class action coming on this one.

 

[eatskisleep]

When will people get it… you want change? Stop buying Epic passes, especially season passes which give them free rein to deliver as shitty a product as they want since they already have your money.

Exactly. Why even fuck with that? It is CLEARLY stated on their OWN page that there was only ONE date blacked out. It is black and white. Case closed. It costs them NOTHING to just roll with it and keep people happy. But no, they need to try to make more $$$.

It was only a "mistake" because their eastern properties are having a sucking season. It is a blatant money grab AND YET how many people will just renew because it is a cheap pass? Vail will hold prices or drop them a bit and folks will forget this. AZer's will not, but the average Joe will not know any better.

That was apparently updated at some point later today...I've seen screenshots posted showing the 1/15 date not listed on Epic's website as a blackout date for the Northeast Value Pass as of this morning when people had issues...

And why not restrict ALL Northeast resorts instead of just four? That makes no sense. It is usually either all or nothing. Otherwise it leads to confusion.
