VAIL SUCKS

[cdskier]

Interesting, but I literally dont recall a thread on this of anyone here ever discussing it.

WTH is Renew Snow?

I was going to say the same thing. I see someone provided the link to the one discussion about it.

There seems to be some interest so I will add a few more comments on the thread https://forums.alpinezone.com/threads/snow-pod-for-cheaper-machine-made-snow.143766/page-2

Wildcat now only has 8% of it's trails open, about 1/4 of the average of the ski 93 resorts.
What happened to that new snowmaking system?

Look at Waterville kicking everyone's ass on terrain percentage opened. That's surprising. Not counting Pat's due to lesser acreage. Taking nothing away from Pats either. They're pros

Meanwhile in NY Belleayre is making Hunter look very sad. Seems Vail didn't expect other places to step up and slap them around. The lesson Vail doesn't exist in a vacuum. There are other options.

Yet people keep buying Epic passes. Vote with your wallet. Don’t support that BS.

I'm thinking that Vail didn't expect Belleayre to hire the entire Hunter snowmaking crew.

I feel pretty lucky to have Belle as my go to day trip hill. Now we need some real snow.

Didn't Hunter call themselves the "Snowmaking capital of the world" in the past? My how the mighty have fallen!

I'm planning on being there from Tuesday on. Gore when the snow hits. Belle is a good day trip.

Under the Slutskys. Everything buried to the to the top of the fences. West side either annapurna or 44 depending on the year. Otherwise everything (except the highlands always wanted to ride that poma).

Hunter still has the largest (gallons/acre) system in the Northeast, obviously not used anywhere close to its potential in recent history.

A fact that appropriately belongs in this particular thread

Wow! That is particularly shocking for anyone in the Cats to be trumping Hunter on snowmaking. Like astounding if you're familiar with the relative capabilities. Maybe my, "Vail will intentionally decrease snowmaking" prediction is already coming true.

How are the Vail properties in VT comparing to the competition there? If they are keeping up, then perhaps it does suggest that Vail views NY and NH differently than VT.

And how many several hundreds of Katz memes are included in the thread? Seems that all of the meme posters are really obsessed with Katz to the point of, WOW I should spend an hour to find a really kool new Katz pic??!? Kind of obs/cump my book.

How about switching the meme obsession to the new CEO Kristen Lynch. I would much rather look a pictures of her and she seems to be pushing in the right direction. Not sure how much operational control national has over the N NH resorts, but Crotched and Sunapee are doing the best with what the weather has provided at this point.

Nah, it only took about 30 seconds to find that new pic. It's not that hard. He provides plenty of fodder. It is just for fun. Not obsessive at all.

Something to consider. From what I have seen she does not have nearly as many ridiculous photos.
