VAIL SUCKS

[ThatGuy]

Underrated observation.

“Maybe if you were as EPICally handsome as me and didn’t have that ugly mug you’d have a lot of pictures too BUD”

“If you see me in Park City I’ll even let you take a picture to frame for yourself…if you can catch me”

Katz is still very much in charge. His leaving as CEO isn't the typical move out of the captain's chair.

Vail Resorts said Katz will remain fully active and engaged in the company’s key strategic decisions and priorities while moving out of day-to-day operations........The executive chairman position Katz will move into is like “a CEO with a bunch of COOs,” Diamond said. “(Katz) has never been one who is fussy about titles, but the role, clearly, is he is going to do the strategic stuff and will be making a lot of input in terms of the senior team, but all of the day-to-day will be on Kirsten’s plate.”

Basically, Katz is no longer Vader, he's now The Emperor.

I got an email from Sunapee saying “Gather the family and come out for opening day”

But can’t see anywhere in the communication (or on their website or twitter) what the planned opening day is!

It's an EPIC secret...just like the rest of the east coast.

Snowbound Standoff: Skiers at Stevens Pass Create Petition Against Vail​

Tensions simmered as disgruntled Stevens Pass skiers, clutching their "Epic Passes," rallied against Vail Resorts' alleged mismanagement. The discontent echoed through an impassioned petition, articulating a litany of grievances: excessive lift lines, scant open terrain, inadequate staffing, and woeful parking, painting a dismal portrait of a beloved winter haven.

They are just about to reach their goal some point this year. Whatever that does??

Not a Vail fan, but I would like to purchase an Epic Day Pass for one day to Jack Frost / Big Boulder. The $54 Epic Day ticket suddenly becomes $58.95 after you put in your email and other personal information. No where to put in my RFID ticket number. Apparently they want to ship it and charge me five bucks for a 66 cent stamp. I assume I have to swallow my pride, willingly get baited and switched, and pay the fee. Let me know if there are any alternatives to this.

That's weird. Most places give you a QR code/receipt that you take to the mountain and get a card from a machine or the ticket window.

Call. They actually refunded me one year without asking. Had to complain this year (full NE pass)

Vail was sued for pocketing that shipping fee and not actually shipping a bunch of passes one year. They then refunded everyone’s shipping fee even if you got a pass mailed.

They say they won’t ship (and charge you) a new pass if you stay in the same pass the following year. Yet they always have mailed me one,

The company is all sorts of screwed up operationally.

The reality is now, that if you have you pass, regardless of if it's the same level or not, from last year, once you have reupped for this year, it will work. Or now, if you download their Epic App, and have your bluetooth on and the app open, that will work as your pass as well. Either will get you a good scan and on the lift this year. No need to overthink it

Fun day at Okemo. One long run from the top, and one trail from the beginner lift at the bottom
