VAIL SUCKS

[crystalmountainskier]

This morning Attitash posted that Bear Peak/Flying Bear/Kachina/Abenaki would not open today due to unforeseen circumstances. Then they deleted it and Bear Peak opened. Strange.

“Sickout” At Breckenridge Creates Another Headache For Vail Resorts

Smaller lift count than usual was partially due to protest from employees.

Also that lodge is a nice mix of a prison, elementary school, and one of those big southern churches that looks like a warehouse. Ugly as all hell inside and out. Not really an inviting bar space either, literally just a wall set up between the main dining area and a few high tops and small bar.

could not agree more - the Crotched lodge is depressing AF

Definitely ugly, but super functional; especially the downstairs area to boot up and the rental shop.

I'm not surprised they went with a cheap structure. Place had been closed for well over a decade. It was a gamble that it would be sustainable upon reopen. Though it would be nice to see a replacement that's more aesthetically pleasing, I doubt we ever see that.

Who gives a rat's ass about a ski lodge's "aesthetics? I boot up in my car, never eat in a lodge, only really care if it has functional bathrooms if needed. Hell, Mt. Abram's main lodge has been a frickin' tent for the last 14 years, but the place is my favorite smaller ski area. Abram's terrain is better than Crotched's, but the "Way Back machine" is far from being a rocket! Just wish that the trees were able to be open more often at both areas!
Yes, the exterior of Crothed's lodge is fugly, but it completely serves its purpose.
